Homemade IoC Container: Design and implement a IoC container. Your container will require that components follow a certain convention for dependency injection (constructor or setter). A second requirement for your container is that it accepts configuration information given in configuration files. You may choose any format for the config files (XML files, text files). Also, design a small API for clients to retrieve the composition from the container (you may find a source of inspiration in the Spring example).
Demonstrate the genericity of your framework by developing 2 different component-based applications on top of it; one of the applications can be the MovieLister+MovieFinder scenario.

The implementation of the IoC container has to rely on reflection for instantiating components and their wirings. Some usefull resources on reflection:
