WOInject

WOInject is an extension of the Google Guice framework created to enable the use of dependency injection with WebObjects applications and frameworks. Dependency injection (DI) is a useful technique for program modularization leading to more testable code. WOInject allows to write better APIs and decoupled code reducing the hurdle of wiring things together.

Version: 1.4.1

Requirements

• Guice 5.0.1
• ByteBuddy 1.10.20
• Project Wonder 5
• WebObjects 5

Features

• Minimal configuration: no configuration of VM agents, XML or properties is required. Initialize your application using the WOInject classes and the application is ready for dependency injection.
• Deep integration: take advantage of dependency injection and Guice's AOP support without inheriting any special classes.
• Special scopes: provide scopes to inject objects per session or request.
• Type safe: make use of Java 5 features and Guice approach to provide type safe binding configuration.

Installation

Maven users have to add the dependency declaration:

<dependency>
	<groupId>com.woinject</groupId>
	<artifactId>woinject</artifactId>
	<version>1.4.1</version>
</dependency>

Non Maven users have to:

1. Download the woinject-1.4.1-bin.zip package.
2. Add the woinject.jar and the other required libraries to the build path.

Usage

ApplicationRunner.java

package my.app;

import com.woinject.WOInject;

public class ApplicationRunner {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		WOInject.init("my.app.Application", args);
	}
}

Application.java

package my.app;

import com.google.inject.Module;
import com.woinject.InjectableApplication;

public class Application extends InjectableApplication {
	@Override
	protected Module[] modules() {
		return new Module[] { new MyModule() };
	}
}
