Dependency injection allows you to easily unit test your logic. If you use a static method, you can't substitute a "dummy" implementation of the mail sending logic during unit testing.

What are the benefits of the service injection ? It may be a stupid question, I apologize in advance, I'm just curious... Thanks in advance ZedroS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
