Gregg Bolinger commented on STS-520:
------------------------------------
I don't get offended that easily. ;) And I disagree with most of what you
said. HA! So no offense.
I suppose my biggest problem with using DI API annotations (@Autowired, etc) is
that you place a dependency on the 3rd party API and its progression, success,
failure. Right now there is one reason why Stripes couldn't use @Autowired.
@Autowired only takes a boolean required attribute. Stripes checks a method
for an annotation. If it is @SpringBean it then looks for a value and if the
value exists it tries to fine that bean in the Spring context and call that
method to set the bean. If no value exists it tries to determine the bean name
from the method name. Since @Autowired doesn't support the value string you
are limited in how you can define your methods.
But what about the future? What if Stripes decides it needs/wants more options
available during the injection? Worse yet, what if Spring changes the
@Autowired definition? Example: Spring decides to include a value. But since
it already has required it would have to look like this:
@Autowired(bean="someBean", required=true|false). At this point, Stripes' API
has to change. Its important that Stripes is not dependent on 3rd party API's
in this regards. The same scenerio can be applied to Guice as well. Guice
changes their annotations and Stripes is back in their code updating to support
it.
And you can easily add support for multiple DI API's using a single Stripes
specific annotation.
@Inject(lib="spring | guice")
Or something like that.
