guice-3

Background My understanding of Java generics is it being completely a compile time feature (mainly focusing on type safety checks). The type information for any generic class is lost at runtime ( type erasure ). Still, i see many frameworks seem to leverage the type information at runtime as well. For example, google guice Providers . The guice provider can instantiate and provide new instances of it's generic type at runtime. class Container { @Inject public Container(Provider<Content> contentProvider) { //This works at Runtime... but How ??? //When type's are not even preserved at runtime,

I face the following problem where i try to start jetty, i get the following exeption: Execution default-test of goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:2.17:test failed: There was an error in the forked process [ERROR] org.apache.maven.surefire.testset.TestSetFailedException: java.lang.RuntimeException: com.google.inject.internal.util.$ComputationException: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 51966 [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.surefire.common.junit4.JUnit4RunListener.rethrowAnyTestMechanismFailures(JUnit4RunListener.java:206) [ERROR] at org.apache.maven.surefire.junitcore

I've read https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/AssistedInject , but it doesn't say how to pass in the values of the AssistedInject arguments. What would the injector.getInstance() call look like? Mairbek Khadikov Check the javadoc of FactoryModuleBuilder class. AssistedInject allows you to dynamically configure Factory for class instead of coding it by yourself. This is often useful when you have an object that has a dependencies that should be injected and some parameters that must be specified during creation of object. Example from the documentation is a RealPayment public class RealPayment
