Demonstrate guice injection into methods

[jonas-l]

It would be great if this sample application could demonstrate argument injection using guice binding annotations.

I'm talking about method arguments like (where ResultsPerPage is custom binding annotation):

public List<Result> getResults(@Inject @ResultsPerPage byte resultsPerPage) {...}

With existing application configuration it's only possible to use binding annotations to inject fields. Or did I miss something?

Thanks

Can you elaborate on the use case you're going for? From the code example, it appears that you want the resultsPerPage variable to be bound to some value that you've configured in a Guice module somewhere, as opposed to being provided by the client of a web-service. (If I have this part wrong, please clarify.)

If I'm on the right track, and you dislike field injection, the typical way Jersey does this is with constructor injection:

@Path('/results')
public class ResultsResource {
    private final byte _resultsPerPage;

    @Inject
    public ResultsResource( @ResultsPerPage byte resultsPerPage ) {
        _resultsPerPage = resultsPerPage;
    }

    // ... methods to follow ...
}

Will this meet the need, or is there a different twist you're going for?
