[Springframework-developer] A Nucleus-like component

[jeano <jjv...@je...>]

For the last 6 months, I have been teaching myself Spring.  I have a
variety of web projects that all benefit from a framework like this.=20
I'm impressed with everything, save one piece - the
IoC/dependency-injection component.  During my day job, I use the
Nucleus component of the ATG Dynamo framework regularly.  It's the
best thing since sliced bread.  My first exposure to web apps was with
the ATG framework ,4 years ago.  Most of the ATG framework is dated
and is vastly improved upon with various Open Source tools.  However
the Nucleus component is still impressive.  It makes configuring
large-scale applications a cinch.  Honestly, I don't know how Spring
users can live without it.

For those of you who still need more background, I thought this thread
was interesting.

My question is this:

Are there any plans to incorporate a Nucleus like component into
Spring?  If so, has development started on such a component?  If not,
I may start to do the development on my own and try to sell benefits
to those in charge.  I just don't want to reinvent the wheel.  Thanks.
