Multiple Spring IoC Containers

Question

Is it possible to have two IoC containers in one JVM ? If so, is there a way to use objects created in one container in other using "@Configurable" ?

-DKC

Answer 1

There can be multiple contexts. They can be totally separate, and they can have a parent-child relation. In the latter case, they behave as if they are one. In the former - no, you can't.

Answer 2

you can not have more than one ioc container but you can configure and use more than one type of ioc configuration, say using setter method , constructor arguments and autowored together

here is a nice post to show how to do it in a single application
