[jboss-dev-forums] [Design the new POJO MicroContainer] - Field injection

[alesj]

Scott is working on the EJBs where field injection is heavily used, and he needs this asap. :-)

>From the distance it looks very similar to what we have with propertys.
e.g.

  | <bean name="mybean" class="org.jboss.acme.MyBean">
  |    <field name="somefield"><inject bean="somebean"/></field>
  |    <field name="mynumber" class="java.lang.Long">123456789</field>
  | </bean>
  | 

Is there a reason why we never mentioned/implemented field injection?

AOP is one for sure. But if the pojo is not aspectized, then it should be OK, otherwise just a reasonable error/info should be thrown.
Or what's the difference between invoking method vs. field via reflection on the AOP proxy?
