I believe that is the preferred approach when doing constructor-based 
dependency injection.

Of course, it doesn't have to be an 'ObjectAConfig' class, it could be 
a Properties object, a DOM document, or anything else.. but there is 
the general principal of passing a representation of the config via the 
constructor.
