Dropwizard and Guice: injecting Environment

Question

I am currently building a Dropwizard + Guice + Jersey-based application where the database access is being handled by JDBI for the time being.

What I am trying to achiev

Answer 1

This is how I use Guice with Dropwizard. Inside your run() method add the line

Guice.createInjector(new ConsoleModule()); 

You cannot inject Environ

Create the class ConsoleModule

public class ConsoleModule extends AbstractModule {

    //configuration and env variable declaration

    public  ConsoleModule(ConsoleConfiguration consoleConfig, Environment env)
    {
        this.consoleConfig = consoleConfig;
        this.env= env;
    }

    protected void configure()
    {
        //You should not inject Configuration and Environment in your provider since you are mixing     
        //dropwizard framework stuff with Guice.Neverthless you will have to bind them in the below order

        bind(Configuration.class).toInstance(consoleConfig.class);
        bind(Environment.class).toInstance(env.class);
        bind(UserDAO.class).toProvider(UserDAOProvider.class).in(Singleton.class);
    }
}
