Hi Pedro,
Your understanding is correct. You should be able to inject using @Inject
into filters/exception mappers without any issues. Otherwise it is a bug.
I suspect something could be wrong with your producer, but i might be mistaken.
In that case i would need some more information, ideally a reproducible test case.
The HK2 exception that you see suggests that CDI does not know about your CDI producer.
Have you tried to just inject e.g. a raw CDI singleton bean (no CDI producer involved)?
Did it work?
In any way, could you please provide some more details on your injection point
and the producer that you believe should satisfy the injection point?
How do you register the producer? One way to do so, is to
1) implement you own CDI Extension
2) make the extension implement a “before bean discovery hook” like so:
@SuppressWarnings("unused")
private void beforeBeanDiscovery(@Observes BeforeBeanDiscovery beforeBeanDiscovery, BeanManager beanManager) {
beforeBeanDiscovery.addAnnotatedType(beanManager.createAnnotatedType(YourLoggerProducer.class));
}
Does the above fix your problem?
