Guice Dependency Injection With Rest.li

Guice dependency injection may be used with Rest.li by using the restli-guice-bridge module.

An example project using guice dependency injection is available in the Rest.li codebase:

https://github.com/linkedin/rest.li/tree/master/examples/guice-server

This example shows how Rest.li’s GuiceRestliServlet may be used to run Rest.li servers with full guice dependency injection.

To use it, first add a dependency to the restli-guice-bridge module, for example:

dependencies {
  compile "com.linkedin.pegasus:restli-guice-bridge:1.9.23"
}

Next, set up a guice servlet, defining a guice GuiceServletContextListener for your application. For an example, see /examples/guice-server/server/src/main/java/com/example/fortune/inject/FortunesGuiceServletConfig.java

Lastly, configure your web.xml. For an example, see /examples/guice-server/server/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
