I am working on cleaning up the context injection story. The first set of
changes include:
- new method IEclipseContext#make(Class) to create a class using
constructor, field, and method injection
- support for injection of data into methods with multiple arguments:
@Inject
void myMethod(@Named("time") String time, @Named("date") String
date)
- the mapping of context key to the injected parameter or field has
changed. We no longer attempt to convert case of the first character and
usually don't use method names to find the object to inject. The preferred
method to establish "what is expected to be injected" will be the use of
"@Named" qualifier.
- changes of prefixes for Java 1.4 support: from "di_Field" and
"setMethod" to "inject_Field" and "inject_Method". (The "set" prefix was
way too common and "di_" was not very informative.)
There will be more changes, for instance, I'd like to reduce the number of
post-construct and pre-destory methods we support. If you are working
with contexts, consider subscribing to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=294109 for up-to-date
information.
(Once we are more-or-less finished with the cleanup and support for JSR
330 I plan to write a whitepaper describing the use of contexts and
injection.)
Sincerely,
Oleg Besedin
