It depends on the purpose of exposing Provider. If you are exposing your
own Provider implementations, just make them implement guice's interface
(for internal use) and an identical interface of your own (for exposure to
the component's clients).
public interface com.foo.Provider<T> {
T get();
}
class MyProvider<T> implements com.foo.Provider<T>,
com.google.inject.Provider<T> {
T get();
}
If you are exposing arbitrary Providers created by Guice, wrap them in your
own interface.
final class MyProvider<T> implements com.foo.Provider<T> {
MyProvider(com.google.inject.Provider<T> guiceProvider) { ... }
T get() {
return guiceProvider.get();
}
}
You can do a similar wrapping if you're accepting Providers from the client.
