And then I realize I need to change that schedule. And would like to do it without recompiling my code. Oh, and I need to allow for environment specific scheduling, weekdays on one system, weekends on others. And I need other dependencies that are environment specific.
I much prefer Spring's XML configuration from the old days. Yeah, XML sucks and all that. But still, with XML, the configuration is completely external from the application and I can manage it from /etc style layouts. Hard coding and compiling in dependency injection via annotations or other such behaviors into the class directly has caused me grief over the long term pretty much every time.
