Hi, back in the days I wrote my own dependency injection framework.
Really mostly to "grasp" what DI was all about. And I'm sold :) I decided to give Guice a look and one of the very first sentence I find is this: "@Singleton indicates that the class is intended to be threadsafe" Now this is the most confusing sentence I've read in a while. Should it read: "@Singleton indicates that the class is intended to be instantiated only once and that this instance shall be re-used (re-injected)" (and, hence, of course, that it better be thread-safe, but this is a detail that has nothing to do with what a singleton is). Because, really, singletons have nothing to do with thread-safety. Heck, there are languages that aren't multi-threaded that can have singletons. Is Guice using the term "singleton" to mean something different than the definition that everyone came to agree on? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "google-guice" group.
