Jersey normally uses HK2 dependency injection, but I would like to use Jersey with Dagger 2. Both Dagger and HK2 implement JSR 330, which I have taken as evidence that this should be possible without too much effort. I found ways to make Jersey work with CDI (e.g. Weld), Spring DI and Guice, but I can't find anything on Dagger.
To provide some context: I'm running a Grizzly–Jersey server in an SE environment, not in an EE container. My Maven project has com.google.dagger:dagger and org.glassfish.jersey.containers:jersey-container-grizzly2-http as dependencies, but not org.glassfish.jersey.inject:jersey-hk2, since I want to replace HK2 with Dagger.
The resource classes look like this:
@Path("/example")
public final class ExampleResource {
private final Dependency dependency;
@Inject
public ExampleResource(final Dependency dependency) {
this.dependency = Objects.requireNonNull(dependency);
}
@GET
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public Example getExample() {
return this.dependency.giveExample();
}
}
And the Dagger component could e.g. be defined as follows:
@Component
public interface Application {
public ExampleResource exampleEndpoint();
public XyzResource xyzEndpoint();
// etc.
}
So that the main method would look similar to:
public final class Main {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
final Application application = DaggerApplication.create();
final URI baseUri = UriBuilder.fromUri("http://0.0.0.0/").port(80).build();
final ResourceConfig resourceConfig = new ResourceConfig();
// how to initialize `resourceConfig` using `application`?
final HttpServer httpServer = GrizzlyHttpServerFactory
.createHttpServer(baseUri, resourceConfig, false);
try {
httpServer.start();
} catch (final IOException ex) {
...
}
}
}
Running the application immediately results in an exception: IllegalStateException: InjectionManagerFactory not found. It seems that a Dagger implementation of this factory is needed.
My question is: how to integrate Dagger with Jersey?
