Symfony2: How to inject ALL parameters in a servic

Question

How can I inject ALL parameters in a service?

I know I can do: arguments: [%some.key%] which will pass the parameters: some.key: "value" to the service __construct.

My question is, how to inject everything that is under parameters in the service?

I need this in order to make a navigation manager service, where different menus / navigations / breadcrumbs are to be generated according to different settings through all of the configuration entries.

I know I could inject as many parameters as I want, but since it is going to use a number of them and is going to expand as time goes, I think its better to pass the whole thing right in the beginning.

Other approach might be if I could get the parameters inside the service as you can do in a controller $this -> container -> getParameter('some.key');, but I think this would be against the idea of Dependency Injection?

Thanks in advance!

As alternative approach would be that you can actually inject application parameters into your service via Container->getParameterBag in you bundle DI Extension

    <?php

    namespace Vendor\ProjectBundle\DependencyInjection;

    use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\ContainerBuilder;
    use Symfony\Component\Config\FileLocator;
    use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\DependencyInjection\Extension;
    use Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader;

    /**
     * This is the class that loads and manages your bundle configuration
     *
     * To learn more see {@link http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/bundles/extension.html}
     */
    class VendorProjectExtension extends Extension {

        /**
         * {@inheritDoc}
         */
        public function load(array $configs, ContainerBuilder $container) {
            $configuration = new Configuration();
            $config = $this->processConfiguration($configuration, $configs);
            $loader = new Loader\YamlFileLoader($container, new FileLocator(__DIR__ . '/../Resources/config'));
            $loader->load('services.yml');
            /** set params for services */
            $container->getDefinition('my.managed.service.one')
                    ->addMethodCall('setContainerParams', array($container->getParameterBag()->all()));
            $container->getDefinition('my.managed.service.etc')
                    ->addMethodCall('setContainerParams', array($container->getParameterBag()->all()));

        }
}

Please note that we can not inject ParameterBag object directly, cause it throws:

[Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Exception\RuntimeException]
Unable to dump a service container if a parameter is an object or a resource.

Tested under Symfony version 2.3.4
