Dependency Injection framework for C++, supporting property setter injection and constructor injection

autumnframework

This project implements Dependency Injection for C++. It supports property setter injection and constructor injection. It is compiled on multiple platform. It supports POCO (Plain Old C++ Object) and has no constraints on the classes you create. It has no incursion to your program code.

Autumn framework contains two parts:

• a dynamic library and
• a wrapper generator named AutumnGen

Autumn use a Small, simple, cross-platform, free and fast C++ XML Parser written by Frank Vanden Berghen to parse config file.

07/26/2007 Ver 0.5.0 released. This version:

• support multi-inheritance, including direct and indirect inheritance. Indirect inheritance should list base classes in doccomment.
• add namespace Autumn for Autumn framework.
• decorate some class member functions with const.
• other changes, including Issues 1~3

05/21/2007 Ver 0.4.0 released. This version:

• has AutumnGen, a generator for wrapper files. You needn't now write any code to use Autumn framework, you can generate wrapper files(a head file and a implementation file) from a head file with AutumnGen?.
• bean support init-method, destroy-method and delete-method attributes.
• change "type" to "bean", remove "type" element in configure file.

03/26/2007 Ver 0.3.0 released. This version:

• needn't set property's type or constructor argument's type in configuration file. If set, it will replace the type got with wrapper.
• bean supports factory-method attribute and multiple factory methods, and don't support overloading.
• erase bean's attributes: initializable and destroyable. Bean supports init and destroy function however, it's decided by definition of bean wrapper
• support bean reference.
• unite IBasicType and ICombinedType into IAutumnType.

03/13/2007 Ver 0.2.0 released. This version supports creating bean using 'instance factory' and 'static factory method' patterns. You can find samples in test project.

03/05/2007 Ver 0.1.0 released. You can download source code here. A simple install guide is here.The code has been compiled on:

• WindowsXP with Visual C++ 6.0
• Linux Ubuntu 6.06 with GCC 4.0.3
• SunOS 5.10 i86pc with Sun C++ 5.8
• AIX 5L with XL C V7.0

01/16/2007 Ver 0.1.0 beta for Windows VC6 released.

It may be very babyish now, because I don't know Spring well and do this to imitate Spring in a hurry. I will write some docs ASAP. Now, it support:

• Support property injection and constructor injection.Only two constructors now, one has arguments and one has no argument. The setter function name should be like setXXX where XXX is a property name. You may not obey that rule if you rewrite the file BeanWrapperMacro?.h.
• Support following basic type: char, short, int, long, float, double, char*, string, and some docrated with unsigned.
• Support class injection. (A class is named as a bean in Autumn like in Spring.)
• Support customized type using interface IBasicType.
• Support pointer to above types.
• Support singleton.
• Support initialization and destroyation functions.
• Support property setter overloading.
• Supoort dependence(it may be not like Spring).
• Support multiple dynamic libraries and local library(bean is in main process).
• Support configuration of log file path and level.
