IoC pattern and frameworks

[Michael Yuan]

Hi Guys,
I wrote a small piece in my blog about the IoC pattern and frameworks. I am not sure whether my understand is correct and complete. So, I'd appreciate it if you can comment on it (in this thread or on the blog). Thanks a in advance!
IoC pattern and frameworks -- what's the big deal?

Take a look at Martin Fowler's website for an article on this subject.
I like Spring which supplies a lot more IOC capability than just application plumbing but then I am a bigot . I wrote (the initial version) of the Petclinic sample application.

I have been interested in learning the lightweight containers and came across this term 'IOC' . After reading what it actually is, isn't it similar to / variation of strategy ? Pls. advise.

Actually at its core, IoC can be a case of the usage of both of the closely related patterns, Template & Strategy.
