Help with @Inject, for some reason it doesn't work.

[po...@mailarchiva.ru]

I have a class i wan't inject
For legacy code support it is like this.

@Singleton
public class Applications extends AbstractModule {
    private Applications() {}
    private static class ApplicationsLoader {
        static final Applications INSTANCE = new Applications();
    }
    @Override    protected void configure() {}
    @Provides @Singleton
    public Applications get() {
        return ApplicationsLoader.INSTANCE;
    }
   public static Applications getApps() {
        return ApplicationsLoader.INSTANCE;
    }
}

On application startup , I create injector.

public void startup() throws Exception {
initLogging();
Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(Stage.PRODUCTION, Applications.getApps());
}

but some while after, when I need Applications.class i always get a null

public class Blob {
    @Inject private Applications applications;
.....
}

Any suggestions how to share Applications.class singleton?
injector.getInstance(Applications.class) working fine.

Regards,

Valentin.

The question is:

How are you creating the instance of Blob?

Most likely the instance of Blob was not created by guice. This happens when you call "new". In order to have guice create the instance you must do either one of the following:
- ask the injector for an instance -- injector.getInstance(Blob.class)
- have Blob injected into another class.

To avoid such situations it is always a possibility to use constructor injection instead of field injection:

public class Blob {
    private final Applications applications;

    @Inject
    Blobb(Applications applications) {
        this.applications = applications;
    }

.....
}

Now the compile will force you to pass an instance of Applications when you call new Blob.
Guice will happily pass all arguments to the constructor annotate with @Inject.
