CIF#make(Class, Context) creates and returns an instance of class 'Class'. If the class in question requires to be injected with some objects (has an @Inject constructor, field or @Execute method etc.) it uses the context 'Context' to look up (resolve) the objects to inject. Plainly speaking, it creates an object in a given context. That matters because the resolved injection objects can be different in different contexts. CIF#make doesn't put this newly created object in the 'Context' context.

IEC#set(K,V) just sets an *already* created object 'V' to a context with some arbitrary key 'K'. No object creation or injection resolving involved.

Okay thank you I think I've got it now!

So the ContextInjectionFactory is just used because a new operator would not support Injection, right?

I've got one more question on my mind..
In the documentation of the CIF I read the following:
"Class'es scope dictates if a new instance of the class will be created, or existing instance will be reused."

Does this mean, that if there is an object already assigned to the variable and i reassign it with CIF,
that I could get different behavior than to assign it to a new variable?
