Hi Tim,
Ok, I think we all agree that we should better to have a dedicated Guice extension for Restlet 2.0. We would reevaluate the situation regarding javax.inject for Restlet 2.1. So, I’ve just granted you SVN commit rights. I suggest that we first create a module “org.restlet.ext.guice” in the incubator part of SVN, see details here: “Restlet Incubator” http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/257-restlet.html We have a few guidelines here as well that I recommend reading first: “Coding conventions” http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/179-restlet/51-restlet.html I’ve also created an empty entry in the developers wiki were you can write some documentation that will end up in the user guide: “Guice extension” http://wiki.restlet.org/developers/257-restlet/284-restlet.html Of course, Thierry and I are here to help during this process. When the code is in place, documented and stable, we will migrate it to the official modules and adjust the build script to make it officially part of Restlet 2.0.

Klotz, Jr. [mailto:[email protected]] Envoyé : mardi 19 mai 2009 19:47 À : [email protected] Objet : RE: Dependency injection in Restlet 2.0 with Guice There are too many other tectonic plates in motion to design Guice+Restlet in isolation of javax.inject, JAX-WS, etc. My linkage of Guice to Restlet prior to resource creation is largely limited to a supporting role in annotation-based binding to resource URIs, and while I'm using something home-grown at the moment, when that field settles, I'll be happy to use something else. in other words, I'm interested, but I don't feel that I'm able to drive the design. I would like to be involved in the review and will watch the list.

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. If javax.inject gets standardized and implemented in more than one place, we should consider it then -- and consider if there would be any value in a javax.inject extension vs. separate extensions for various DI frameworks.
