Guice + SimpleTagSupport

[Stefan]

We have quite an extensive tag library which could benefit from proper
dependency injection - is there anyway to get Guice to inject classes
that extend SimpleTagSupport? I'm guessing standard guice-servlet will
not help me here?

Appreciate your help,
Stefan

If your Injector is in a singleton or the ServletContext, just grab it
out and call:

getMemberInjector(this.getClass()).injectMembers(this);

I do this in the constructor or the setPageContext method or any of
the other methods. Also, watch out for tag instance pooling depending
on your use cases.

Works like a charm! Thanks Brian for such a quick reply to a newbie
question :)
