Thanks for the quick reply Dhanji. Of course, you're right warp- persist in no way tries to create an injector, I didn't mean to lump it in with struts in that regard. Something just feels wrong about letting struts create the injector to me. I think I'm going to continue down the path of sharing the injector from my ContextListener and see where that takes me.
With that approach is there any way other than sharing the binder instance passed into my module to allow my ObjectFactory to create it's bindings after the module has been configured? Is this a safe thing to do (exposing a reference to the binder)? Can you get a Binder from an Injector somehow? I didn't see any obvious ways to do that, but I'm only hours into guice at this point.
