Hi Brian, I've been using Guice for a while now. Was a bit tough getting started, but now is working quite well. I didn't go down the path of using finders. With our set up we generally have collections of items and then their entities (as is pretty standard).
I started by creating an abstract resource class (imaginatively called "AbstractResource") than extended the Restlet Resource class. This included a static Injector field. Below this are the Collection and Entity resource classes. All of the resource classes will extend one of these three classes, and all have their own Interfaces. When the program starts it creates the injector, and then explictly sets the Injector for AbstractResource, so that this is available on the "other side" of Restlet creating Resources. Whenever Restlet creates the new instance of a resource class one of the first things done by AbstractResource is to injectMembers into itself using the static injector. Ie Guice is used to set up the environment and start the Restlet Server running, then Restlet handles creating the correct resource, and then Guice continues with the work by using the original Injector. The advantage is I can use then standard @ImplementedBy and @Inject annotations, and testing is just as easy as ever. If you want to see some code (or some clarification on these ramblings), I can send some through (working on some tidying up now).

I'm attempting to use Guice with Restlet to inject session beans from EJB3 so that unit and module testing will be easier down the road. I found this helpful site with some code examples for getting started on this: http://tembrel.blogspot.com/2008/07/resource-dependency-injection-in.html However, now I'm at the part where I want to attach multiple routers to different paths of my app. So my application looks something like: FinderFactory factory = RestletGuice.createInjector(new DelegateModule()).getInstance(FinderFactory.class); ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=988546
