Abstracting IoC Container Behind a Singleton - Doing it wrong?

Question

Generally, I like to keep an application completely ignorant of the IoC container. However I have ran into problems where I needed to access it. To abstract away the pain

Answer 1

That's not really a singleton class. That's a static class with static members. And yes that seems a good approach.

I think JP Boodhoo even has a name for this pattern. The Static Gateway pattern.
