I just found out that the timeline for @Inject has shifted later, into 1Q2010. It's for a good reason -- expanded scope of the proposal -- but I think it would be better to have separate extensions for DI frameworks in Restlet 2.0, and then provide an @Inject extension for 2.1, say. My Guice-in-Restlet needs are limited to resource injection, but I think Leigh Klotz and maybe others expressed some interest in Restlet injection. Is there still an interest in this? If so, has anyone done any design work on it?
Btw, there was no signature on the post about Guice 2 + Restlet 2 + JSP -- who was that masked poster? --tim On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 11:25 AM, Rhett Sutphin <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > I agree with Tim that it would be premature to start working on an > extension now.
