Correct me if i'm wrong, but when you do this: bind(EntityManagerImpl.class).in(TaskScoped.class); bind(EntityLoader.class).to(EntityManagerImpl.class); bind(ReferenceFactory.class).to(EntityManagerImpl.class);
You're asking guice to do 3 things: 1. Bind EntityManagerImpl in TaskScoped 2. Bind EntityLoader tp EntityManagerImpl 3. Bind ReferenceFactory to EntityManagerImpl When you do this: bind(EntityLoader.class).to(EntityManagerImpl.class).in(TaskScoped.class); bind(ReferenceFactory.class).to(EntityManagerImpl.class).in(TaskScoped.class); You're asking for two things: 1. Bind EntityLoader in TaskScoped, implemented by EntityManagerImpl 2. Bind ReferenceFactory in TaskScoped, coincidently also implemented by EntityManagerImpl In the second part, there's nothing telling Guice that EntityManagerImpl is in TaskScope, only that EntityLoader and ReferenceFactory are. So the system knows that for each Task you've got one EntityLoader and one ReferenceFactory, it doesn't have a clue (or care) how mamy EntityManagerImpls are required to achieve that. Everything following bind(foo) applies to the binding for Foo, it doesn't "leak out" into EntityManagerImpl If you want to bind EntityManagerImpl to another impl or to a scope, you have to do it either with the annotations or a binding of its own. -Josh On Mon, Sep 15, 2008 at 10:35 AM, Esko Luontola <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > > I looked at the source, and actually all the to(...) methods delegate > to the to(Key) method.
