;) Probably you have to read it one more time. Seems I'm not very good 
at explaining things :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at that! Sounds like a solution to 
me :)

This works as well for me, but not when the object has to be build from 
a form (because there, the constructor arguments are taken from the 
request, and the request does not have a MessageRepository available).

The problem here is more the building process of the controller action 
arguments than the models itself, which are just plain PHP objects 
anyway. But the problem will probably only occur with models, because 
what else needs to be build from forms?
