             Summary: Allow for a more type-safe way to set properties when 
using Guice integration
                 Key: SHIRO-370
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHIRO-370
             Project: Shiro
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Jared Bunting
            Assignee: Jared Bunting


Currently, setting properties when using Guice integration is somewhat hacky.  
We're just binding constants to strings, and hoping that the names match up 
with method calls.  I would prefer something more guicey, that provides us with 
the typesafety that I tend to expect from Guice.

My thought is to allow methods, similar to the @Provides methods, on the 
ShiroModule and ShiroWebModule with a @Configures annotation.  These methods 
would then be essentially wrapped in a MembersInjector and setup to be passed a 
particular object just after its instantiation.

The goal would be to allow something like this in the module:

    @Configures
    public void configureSessionManager(DefaultWebSessionManager 
webSessionManager, Cookie cookie)
    {
        webSessionManager.setSessionIdCookie(cookie);
    }

The DefaultWebSessionManager would be the bean being injected, while the Cookie 
would simply be treated as an injected dependency, much like the arguments in a 
@Provides method.
