Dependency injection with Jersey 2.0

Question

Starting from scratch without any previous Jersey 1.x knowledge, I\'m having a hard time understanding how to setup dependency injection in my Jersey 2.0 project.

Answer 1

Oracle recommends to add the @Path annotation to all types to be injected when combining JAX-RS with CDI: http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/7/tutorial/jaxrs-advanced004.htm Though this is far from perfect (e.g. you will get warning from Jersey on startup), I decided to take this route, which saves me from maintaining all supported types within a binder.

Example:

@Singleton
@Path("singleton-configuration-service")
public class ConfigurationService {
  .. 
}

@Path("my-path")
class MyProvider {
  @Inject ConfigurationService _configuration;

  @GET
  public Object get() {..}
}
