Hey!
I've seen CDI 2.0 Early Draft - congratulations! Looks very promising!
I would like to ask about something slightly different than CDI 2.0 -
constructor injection. I'm a big fan of using it because I can easily
inject mocks into tested objects. This way I can limit the number of
Arquillian tests and speed up testing phase in my project.
However the drawback is that need 2 constructors in my beans:
@ApplicationScoped
public class MyBean {
public MyBean() {
}
@Inject
public MyBean(OtherBean bean) {
}
}
Is it possible to get rid of the zero-parameter constructor? I can
imagine that it may be required by dependency resolution mechanism (for
example instantiating beans with cyclic dependencies A -> B -> C -> A),
but on the other hand we actually can create an instance without calling
a constructor - using Unsafe (but using Unsafe is always questionable).
Could you please tell me if there are any plans around this topic?
Thanks
Sebastian
