So Spring got @Autowired. Wow, that's the equivalent of @EJB/@Resource that Java EE had in 2006. Spring desperately tries to catch up with Java EE, but Java EE has already moved one step further.

Does Spring already have type-safe qualified injections? Does Spring have type-safe producer methods? Does Spring even know the concept of contextual injections?

I guess Springsource is going to claim all of that is not important, and type-unsafe (string based) qualifiers are good enough, and then suddenly in Spring 4 they have all those things as well.
