I'm in process of learning Guice and I don't clearly understand how to use Injector
instance. It's better to create Injector
instance once on application bootstrap, and make it public singleton?
And is it true that we always must use Injector#getInstance(SomeClass.class)
to get classes where we putted Guice's @Inject
annotations?
You should not pass the injector around as a global singleton. Have you looked at: https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/GettingStarted? Note that RealBillingService
does not use the injector to get instances of CreditCardProcessor
and TransactionLog
. Instead Guice handles all this for you when creating the instance.
If you're in a situation where you need Guice to create many objects of the same type consider using a Provider and injecting that provider.
