Thanks Eric for your reply... in regard to existing applications NOT currently using IoC... I guess that's partially true. Since the jar's main use will be inside of a tibco ESB in a NEW application, I could force them to use Guice.... but I really don't figuring out with them at what part should I hook in to get Guice bootstrapped. I was hoping to keep the Guice I'm using relatively transparent to them.. so for example they would just use the classes provided as singletons or static methods to do the basic dao operations (ie updateEmployee(Employee e). In regard to the code posted above I have to admit I'm a bit confused by how it would be used. I suppose the real implementation would be called getService(Class<T> clz) ? and the end user would have to call something like... EmployeeService service = ServiceCreator.getService(EmployeeService.class) ? If so I'm confused though, wouldn't the end users be calling Guice.createInjector(modules) a bunch of times? There would also be the need to return other Service classes to the end user as well. Or does it not hurt to call createInjector multiple times? Thanks again for the help. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-guice" group.
