Loose Coupling means that a component doesn't know and depend on other components and therefore also needs no 'injected' dependencies."

Could you elaborate more on this. Maybe an example would do it?

You wouldn't need dependency injection if you had no dependencies.

Byron 4 "To solve the problem ..." http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63160 I agree with you. In fact is the developer who writes testable code or not, not using one technology or another. It is true that some technologies can help you, but anyway all is in your hands.

Byron 1 "To solve the problem ..." http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=63160 As I said in post I prefer not to inject mocks into Spring Context, I prefer designing classes for better test. But I could understand that something could find this useful, and for this reason I decided to investigate and post about it.
