Cheng,
In the client case are you talking about the utility being part of the
Java EE app client container environment or in a Java SE client?
If this code is running as part of GlassFish then the best way - and
maybe you want to avoid this based on your "not a component or
service" comment - is to use the ProcessEnvironment service which lets
you find out if your environment is server, ACC, embedded ,or other..
But of course to use an injected service like that you don't just
refer to it or instantiate it. It needs to be set up by hk2 as part
of the general container set-up.
Can you explain a little more about this utility class? Maybe that
will help us see some other possibilities.
