I am using gwt dispatch to communicate and get data from server to client.
In order to get user specific data I want to store the user object in httpsession and access application specific data from servlet context
but when I inject Provider<HttpSession> when the handler execute is called but the dispatchservlet the provider is null i.e it does not get injected.
following is the code from my action handler
@Inject
Provider<HttpSession> provider;
public ReadEntityHandler() {
}
@Override
public EntityResult execute(ReadEntityAction arg0, ExecutionContext arg1) throws DispatchException {
HttpSession session = null;
if (provider == null)
System.out.println("httpSession is null..");
else {
session = provider.get();
System.out.println("httpSession not null..");
}
System.out.println("reached execution");
return null;
}
and my Dispatch servlet
@Singleton
public class ActionDispatchServlet extends RemoteServiceServlet implements StandardDispatchService {
private Dispatch dispatch;
public ActionDispatchServlet() {
InstanceActionHandlerRegistry registry = new DefaultActionHandlerRegistry();
registry.addHandler(new ReadEntityHandler());
dispatch = new SimpleDispatch(registry);
}
@Override
public Result execute(Action<?> action) throws DispatchException {
try {
return dispatch.execute(action);
}
catch (RuntimeException e) {
log("Exception while executing " + action.getClass().getName() + ": " + e.getMessage(), e);
throw e;
}
}
}
when I try to inject the ReadEntityHandler it throws the following exception
[WARN] failed guiceFilter
com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Guice provision errors:
