Guice Vaadin is the official Guice integration for Vaadin Framework.

Usage

setting up the servlet

first step is to set up the GuiceVaadinServlet, which needs a packagesToScan parameter holding the names of all packages that should be scanned for UIs, Views, ViewChangeListeners and VaadinServiceInitListeners. Sub-packages of these packages are scanned as well.

This can be done either by subclassing GuiceVaadinServlet and annotating it with @PackagesToScan, or by configuring a GuiceVaadinServlet in the deployment-descriptor.

configuration in java

    package org.mypackage;

    @javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet(name = "Guice-Vaadin-Servlet", urlPatterns = "/*")
    @com.vaadin.guice.annotation.PackagesToScan({"org.mycompany.ui", "org.mycompany.moreui"})
    public class MyServlet extends com.vaadin.guice.server.GuiceVaadinServlet{
    }

configuration in xml

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" version="2.5">
    <servlet>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>packagesToScan</param-name>
            <param-value>org.mycompany.ui, org.mycompany.moreui</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <servlet-name>Guice-Vaadin-Servlet</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.vaadin.guice.server.GuiceVaadinServlet</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Guice-Vaadin-Servlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Scopes

Available scopes are UIScope and VaadinSessionScope, similar to what the Spring addon offers. UIScope is what MUST be the scope for all Vaadin-components, since they must belong to exactly one UI. VaadinSessionScope may be used to sync data between multiple tabs in the same browser.

import com.vaadin.guice.annotation.UIScope;

@UIScope
public class MyButton extends Button {
}

Guice-Module loading

Since Guice is configured via so called Modules, we need a way to load these modules. All Modules in the packages contained by 'packagesToScan' will be instantiated and loaded by default.

package org.mycompany.ui;

import com.google.inject.AbstractModule;

//will be loaded, since the 'org.mycompany.ui'-package is included in
//the packagesToScan  
public class MyModule extends AbstractModule{
    protected void configure(){
        //...    
    }
}

The alternative way to load modules is via the @Import-Annotation. This was introduced to make sort of an addon-development for guice-vaadin possible, similar to what Spring offers with it's own @Import-annotation.

First, a new Annotation is needed that points to the module to be loaded via @Import:

package org.mycompany.ui;

import java.lang.annotation.ElementType;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

@Target(ElementType.Type)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Import(SomeModule.class)
public @interface UseSomeModule {    
}

Second, the annotation is pinned on the servlet and that's it.

    package org.mypackage;

    @UseSomeModule
    @javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet(name = "Guice-Vaadin-Servlet", urlPatterns = "/*")
    @com.vaadin.guice.annotation.PackagesToScan({"org.mycompany.ui", "org.mycompany.moreui"})
    public class MyServlet extends com.vaadin.guice.server.GuiceVaadinServlet{
    }

Version

new features:

  • SessionScope, bind your instances to the session
  • custom-navigator, implement your own navigator and have it used by guice

also, some performance improvements and general code beautifications

this will be the last release before 2.0, which will bring feature parity with vaadin-spring.

Guice Vaadin integration version 1.1.0
this version is not backwards compatible #non backward compatible changes ##removed @ViewScope The ViewScope annotation was removed because it is not neccessary, this behaviour can be achieved more easily in UIScope ##renamed @DefaultView to @ViewContainer DefaultView is a name already taken in the vaadin navigation realm, so it was renamed to avoid confusion #additional APIs there are two new annotations to load additional functionality to the guice context. Classes using this annotations need to reside in a package or under a package given in the 'basePackage' property of @Configuration to be loaded. ##added @UIModule to dynamically load Modules from external jars guice-vaadin is now able to load Modules from external jars, when they have the @UIModule annotation. ##added @GuiceViewChangeListener to enable attachment of ViewChangeListeners Classes implementing ViewChangeListener and annotated with @GuiceViewChangeListener will be automatically added to any navigator created by vaadin-guice.

Guice Vaadin integration version 1.1.3
#fixes fix for UI-Scope, ui-scopes should not overlap in VaadinSession, plus loads of unittests #features new AllKnownGuiceViews-Annotation that can be used to get all known GuiceView's injected, like ```java @Inject @AllKnownGuiceViews private Set guiceViews;
