Does intellij idea offer auto completion for non getter el methods? - autocomplete

I have auto completion out of the box for getter methods in jsp expression languages with intellij. I don't have it however for non getter methods (part of EL 2.2, which is maintained as part of Servlet 3.0 / JSP 2.2).
Idea does however recognise the call to non getter methods in El as valid.
Is there any way to turn auto completion on for the non getter method ?
Thanks,
Alain

It seems that IDEA-115227 is the issue to add your comments and votes to.

How inject dependency in custom TelemetryInitializer?

We are using Autofac 4 for DI and I started experimenting with AI a short while ago. Now I created a IdentityTelemetryInitializer class which needs and IIdentityProvider to be able to get the ID of the current authorized user and set it add it to the context. I cannot find a way in which to inject dependencies into a TelemetryInitializer. If I define a contructor that takes an IIdentityProvider, the custom initializer is skipped altogether.
Any ideas are welcome. I was thinking of having the user ID also set as the Thread Principal so that we can access it this way, but I was hoping I could use DI for this?
You cannot inject dependencies using a constructor as the initializer initialized internally using the default (empty) constructor. When you explicitly defined a new ctor you've actually 'removed' the default one, thus the initializer was skipped altogether, as you've mentioned.
Therefore, the only way is to resolve the dependencies during the 'Initialize' method, after registering them on application startup.
ctx.RegisterType<MyService>().As<IService>().AsSelf(); // on application startup
ctx.Resolve<IService>(); // during initializer 'Initialize' method
You might look at the question I asked here
How to have "Request" events with authenticated user id ?
because I had managed to have the TelemetryInitializer working, passing user id via the HttpContext as suggested by #yonisha.
Off course it's not as lean as what you try to achieve.
The Telemetry Initializer is called each time you instanciate a Telemetry class, so really depending of how you manage them. Btw I am looking for good advice/best pratice on that : for the moment I have one private instance on each Controller that need to track something, but that does not smell good due to lifetime of Controller.

When is "onPropertyChange" called for ValueAwareEditors in the GWT editor framework?

A ValueAwareEditor has a method void onPropertyChange(java.lang.String... paths), about which the javadoc says: "Notifies the Editor that one or more value properties have changed."
When exactly is this method called? Is it the duty of the EditorDriver to call this method? Or do I have to implement code that calls this method myself?
Or is it simply not implemented yet at all, which is suggested by this question: GWT editor onPropertyChange.
That method is never ever called by the two built-in editor drivers (git grep onPropertyChange returns only method declarations), so I guess we can say that this is "simply not implemented yet at all".
Note that EditorDelegate#subscribe() is implemented in RequestFactoryEditorDriver using the alternate approach to comunicating change: it'll listen to EntityProxyChange events and will RequestFactory#find() the proxy back when changed, and then update the editor in-place, notifying ValueAwareEditors and LeafValueEditors via their setValue().
subscribe() is a no-op for the SimpleBeanEditorDriver.

How to debug Dependency Injection Bugs in Extbase?

I'm building an extension in Extbase (latest version, latest typo3) and am having repositories injected into my models.
This simply does not work. No errors, no clues, nothing. The inject* Method simply does not get called. The exact same Injection works in the controller.
Is it possible to inject Repositories into models in Extbase? In general, injection to models is possible since 1.4.
How can I debug this? Where do I have to look?
This is a common misconception:
Not every class you use in TYPO3 CMS uses dependency injection by default - and it's a good thing.
What is true, is that every object that has been instantiated by the ObjectManager can benefit from it.
In short: if you new Thing() some object, it won't benefit from dependency injection. If you use the ObjectManager to get an instance of something, the whole dependency injection gallore will rain down on your new instance:
constructor injection [Example: How can I use an injected object in the constructor?
annotations are read and field injections are done
setter injection was done in the past (Remark: I think it's deprecated)
public method (if existent) initializeObject is called
Note that injected objects are being instantiated by the objectManager as well-so recursion is possible if injected ServiceA needs an injected ServiceB.
Singletons are possible as well if you implement the marker interface SingletonInterface.
Dependency injection only works if you get an instance of the object via the ObjectManager. If you are using the good ol'
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_yourextension_domain_model_thing')
inject* methods are not being called.
There is a german blog entry explaining how it works.

Why can't I have static public fields in my managed beans?

I just started using the Netbeans 7.1 beta and it is calling out errors of a type which I have never seen before. Specifically:
A managed bean with a public field should not declare any scope other than #Dependent.
The fields it is complaining about are public static final. I can understand the restriction on non-static fields, but I can't think of a good reason this would not be allowed for a static field. Unfortunately I use a lot of them since I don't like having constants in my code.
I note that even though I get the red dot in the margin in the editor, the maven-driven build still works and GlassFish still runs my application the way I would expect.
So what is my denoument on this issue? Am I going to have to move my static fields elsewhere or is there another way of handling this?
Quoting the javax.enterprise.inject package javadocs:
If a managed bean has a public field, it must have scope #Dependent.
But I do agree wih #BalusC that if this compiles, Netbeans should report it as Warning (does it?).
Anyway, are those constants really part of the API? I mean, do you access they anywhere else but within their own classes? If not, reduce visibility to private. (If you just need to access the constants from the view you can also create accessors for the private constant). If yes, I would suggest you to move them somewhere else anyway.
Public fields (static or not) aren't proxyable - that's why they can only be dependent scoped. To work around this you obviously can access them through getter methods.

Autofac: Is there a hidden debug feature?

I remember I have read somewhere here in SO (maybe I was dreaming) that I can enable a "hidden" debug feature of Autofac, so that it can give me more information on what Autofac is doing in the background.
I asked because I just encountered a bug in my project. After I have added the following code into my AutofacModule:
builder.RegisterAssemblyTypes(typeof(MainWindowViewModel).Assembly)
.AssignableTo(typeof(ViewModelBase))
.EnableClassInterceptors()
.InterceptedBy(typeof(NotifyPropertyChangedInterceptor));
when compile, at:
using (var container = builder.Build())
{
...
}
Autofac throws:
System.NotSupportedException was unhandled. Parent does not have a default constructor. The default constructor must be explicitly defined.
But it didn't tell me which class does not have a default constructor (maybe I have missed something in the output window?). I ended up opened all my ViewModel classes one by one... to check if they have a default constructor.
So it would be wonderful for me if Autofac has a hidden debug feature. If not, is there an automatic way to find all classes which don't have a default constructor?
Thanks
(sorry for my English)
this isn't an Autofac exception - it looks like it might be a WPF one? If you can get the call stack from the debugger when the exception is thrown it should offer a clue.
Cheers!
