Runtime dependency injection with Spring

Question

Answer 1

Spring's dependency injection (and dependency injection in general) is basically for wiring together Services, Repositories and Factories, etc. It's not supposed to directly handle things that need to be done dynamically in response to commands, etc., which includes most stuff with domain objects. Instead, it provides control over how those things are done by allowing you to wire in the objects you want to use to do them.
