Hi,
(apologies for what is probably pretty basic)
I have a shared singleton class that is currently instantiated in a ServletContextListener and set as an attribute in the ServletContext.
In my resource classes, I inject the ServletContext as a field and get the singleton from that ServletContext.
Can I inject the singleton directly to skip adding/retrieving it to/from the ServletContext? E.g., something like:
public class MyResource {
@Context MySingleton mySingleton;
}
Should I be using the @Context annotation? Something else?
I have tried various ways. First I simply added the @Provider annotation and added the package to be scanned. The logs show that the provider (MySingleton) is found. I have tried implementing ContextResolver, Injectable, SingletonTypeInjectableProvider.
Is there a simple example of how to do what I am trying to do? Is there a better way to approach it?
thanks,
-Rob
