About Dependency Injection

Dependency injection is a software development technique that Siebel Open UI uses to create a dependency between a presentation model and a physical renderer. If Siebel Open UI modifies a method or property that resides in the presentation model, then it also modifies a method or property that resides in the physical renderer. It allows Siebel Open UI to implement logic at run-time rather than during a compile. These dependency injections allow it to use an injected dependency chain, which is a series of two or more dependency injections.

You can modify Siebel Open UI to make this chaining depend on conditions that Siebel Open UI modifies at run time. It can use all the methods that the Init method references in Summary of Presentation Model Methods for dependency injection. For an example that uses dependency injection, see Customizing the Physical Renderer to Refresh the Carousel.
