HK2 Jersey. How to get bean from container? - jersey-2.0

Question

I have a chain of Features. I would like to bind some beans inside ConfigFeature and then get them inside the MongoDBFeature. What methods should I use for that?
public final class IoCBinder extends AbstractBinder {
#Override
protected void configure() {
ConfigFeature.configureIoC(this);
MongoDBFeature.configureIoC(this);
}
}
Put some bean here:
public class ConfigFeature {
public static void configureIoC(AbstractBinder binder) {
// ....
binder.bind(configProvider).to(ConfigurationProvider.class).in(Singleton.class).named("configProvider");
}
}
And I would like to get configProvider bean here:
public class MongoDBFeature {
public static void configureIoC(AbstractBinder binder) {
// ?? get configProvider here ??
}
}

Answer 1

You can bind your bean to the ServiceLocator as shown in below example.
Service
public class TestService{
}
Binder
public static TestBinder extends AbstractBinder{
#Override
protected void configure() {
bind(new TestService()).to(TestService.class);
}
}
Feature 1
public class Feature1 implements Feature{
#Inject
private ServiceLocator locator;
#Override
public boolean configure(FeatureContext context) {
org.glassfish.hk2.utilities.ServiceLocatorUtilities.bind(locator,new TestBinder());
return true;
}
}
Note that a ServiceLocator instance is injected to Feature1 and the binder is bound to this locator instance.
Feature 2
public class Feature2 implements Feature{
#Inject
private TestService testService;
#Override
public boolean configure(FeatureContext context) {
return true;
}
}
Application/ResourceConfig class
public class TestConfig extends ResourceConfig {
register(Feature1.class);
// Need to make sure Feature1 is registered before Feature2.
// Another option is to register Feature2 in configure() method of Feature1 class.
register(Feature2.class);
}
