Injector shutdown

[Blair Zajac]

I'm looking at using Guice for my application and want the ability to shutdown
all threads, remove JDBC drivers registered with java.sql.DriverManager, and
clean up any other resources so I can properly redeploy the application in a
servlet container.

Grepping through the sources, I don't see any way of shutting down the injector
and specifying methods to run when an object should be destroyed, such as using
Spring's destroy-method on a bean.

JDK6 does have a javax.annotation.PreDestroy annotation that could be
potentially used for this.

Are there any plans for this in Guice?

Thanks,
Blair

supporting a basic life-cycle has been raised:

but I'm not sure if it will be in the next release
