I have never done this myself but see here for instantiating a Tapestry IOC registry yourself http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToIocOnly
If you want the private registry to inherit the public registry I think that you will need to use RegistryBuilder.add(ModuleDef) http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/ioc/RegistryBuilder.html#add%28org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.def.ModuleDef%29 I am surprised that Tapestry does not eat it's own dogfood, I would have thought that Registry would have implemented ModuleDef or that there was at least an adapter available. http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/ioc/def/ModuleDef.html You may need to write a RegistryModuleDef which does a job to the SpringModuleDef http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry5/apidocs/org/apache/tapestry5/internal/spring/SpringModuleDef.html On Wednesday, 28 March 2012, fmaylinch <ferranmayli...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Lance Java wrote >> >> Perhaps a solution is to setup a second, private Tapestry IOC registry for >> defining your private services.
