Dependency injection: Scoping by region (Guice, Spring, Whatever)
- by Itay
Here's a simplified version of my needs.
I have a program where every B object has its own C and D object, injected through Guice. In addition an A object is injected into every C and D objects.
What I want: that for each B object, its C and D objects will be injected with the same A object.
Specifically, I want the output of the program (below) to be:
Created C0 with [A0]
Created D0 with [A0]
Created B0 with [C0, D0]
Created C1 with [A1]
Created D1 with [A1]
Created B1 with [C1, D1]
Where it currently produces the following output:
Created C0 with [A0]
Created D0 with [A1] <-- Should be A0
Created B0 with [C0, D0]
Created C1 with [A2] <-- Should be A1
Created D1 with [A3] <-- Should be A1
Created B1 with [C1, D1]
I am expecting DI containers to allow this kind of customization but so far I had no luck in finding a solution. Below is my Guice-based code, but a Spring-based (or other DI containers-based) solution is welcome.
import java.util.Arrays;
import com.google.inject.*;
public class Main {
public static class Super {
private static Map<Class<?>,Integer> map = new HashMap<Class<?>,Integer>();
private Integer value;
public Super(Object... args) {
value = map.get(getClass());
value = value == null ? 0 : ++value;
map.put(getClass(), value);
if(args.length > 0)
System.out.println("Created " + this + " with " + Arrays.toString(args));
}
@Override
public final String toString() {
return "" + getClass().getSimpleName().charAt(0) + value;
}
}
public interface A { }
public static class AImpl extends Super implements A { }
public interface B { }
public static class BImpl extends Super implements B {
@Inject public BImpl(C c, D d) { super(c,d); }
}
public interface C { }
public static class CImpl extends Super implements C {
@Inject public CImpl(A a) { super(a); }
}
public interface D { }
public static class DImpl extends Super implements D {
@Inject public DImpl(A a) { super(a); }
}
public static class MyModule extends AbstractModule {
@Override
protected void configure() {
bind(A.class).to(AImpl.class);
bind(B.class).to(BImpl.class);
bind(C.class).to(CImpl.class);
bind(D.class).to(DImpl.class);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
Injector inj = Guice.createInjector(new MyModule());
inj.getInstance(B.class);
inj.getInstance(B.class);
}
}
