 = Introduction to the Spring IoC Container and Beans
 
-This chapter covers the Spring Framework implementation of the Inversion of Control
-(IoC) principle. An important kind of IoC is dependency injection (DI). It is a process whereby
-objects define their dependencies (that is, the other objects they work with) only through
-constructor arguments, arguments to a factory method, or properties that are set on the
-object instance after it is constructed or returned from a factory method. The container

 The `org.springframework.beans` and `org.springframework.context` packages are the basis
 for Spring Framework's IoC container. The
