What is IoC?

Inversion of Control (IoC) in software engineering is the act of transferring


the control of application objects (components, services, …) to a software
engineering framework.

The framework will be responsible for creating objects, assembling/associating


complex objects and managing the objects lifecycle.

Typically, the part of the framework that does this is called a container.

What is IoC?
Frequent terms that are used for the application objects that are managed by
the framework is beans or components.

NOT ALL application objects worth being managed by the


framework !!!

Typically, this is useful for important objects that constitute the backbone of
the application e.g.,
controllers that accept web requests,

service objects that realize the core operations of the application,

data mapper objects that interact with the database management system,

other objects that should be easily configured when the application starts
and/or reconfigured while the application is running ….

What is Dependency Injection


(DI)?

What is DI?

Dependency Injection (DI) in software engineering is the act of


assembling/associating composite/aggregate objects.

The basic idea is to have an assembler object that is responsible for setting
the object fields of a composite/aggregate object to refer to other constituent
objects.

Typically, in frameworks the role of the assembler is played by the container


and the injection is transparent to the application.

Often, the application guides the assembler with guidelines provided in


configuration files or more recently with inline annotations.
