Dear experts,
When discussing the support of field / property injection, especially @Context injection, the spec document seems lack of details on the part of support singleton resource classes (either returned from Application.getSingletons() or annotated with @Singleton).
1. The spec explicitly mentioned that for non-per-request resource classes, support of field / property injection is not supported, but saying "with the exception of @Context". However for @Context, there are also request scope values (UriInfo, Request, HttpHeaders, SecurityContext) and non-scope (Application, Providers, ResourceContext, Configuration) values. What is the expected way to handle these very request scope values per spec?
2. How many times the injection shall be done to a singleton resource class? I see in the latest javadoc of Application.getSingleton() saying "Fields and properties of returned instances are injected with their declared dependencies (see Context) by the runtime prior to use." While "prior to use" is not a good way to describe the behavior, as "prior to use on the first request" or "prior to use on every request". The implementation shall inject the value only once or every time a request comes by?
Actually when reading Jersey document I see Jersey already got some answer of above questions, but not as part of spec; therefore I wanted to get suggestions from you experts, on which part of complies to the spec, which part shall belong to Jersey implementation specified (but of course can be treated as best practice).
Any comments/suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Grant.
