When developing an application in a web server environment, the ease of use and startup time of the application are crucial elements for best performance.

I’m a Spring fan, but I decided not to use Spring in our recent project because I don’t want bulky jar files in our application but I wanted to have spring-like configuration. So, I’ve decided to write my own dependency injection code in less than 50 lines of code!! To simplify dependency injection, I’ve taken out most of the advanced configuration features and…
