Is it possible to use CDI injection or Spring injection in Ivy Project?

Question

As the title said that I just wonder if we have some way to use CDI injection or Spring in Ivy Project? FYI, I'm using Ivy Designer v6 s16.

I did try to use CDI in my bean, it acknowledged the bean with @Named annotation; however, the service that I try to inject return null (throwing InvokeException & NullPointerException). Though I know that Ivy Engine not yet supported CDI injection, I just want to know if there is any trick to go around it?

Accepted Answer

As you said the Ivy Engine does not support CDI injection.

If you try to setup and use Spring then I think you will get into troubles with incompatible jars and or versions.

In Ivy internally we use Google Guice for DI. This allows us to use @Inject, @Named annotations. To get an instance of a root class you can use:

import ch.ivyteam.di.restricted.DiCore;
DiCore.getGlobalInjector().getInstance(YourService.class);

Note that this is not Public API and will be changed in future! If you want to use it I strongly suggest that you encapsulate the code in a project specific helper class, so that you only have to change the helper class once we change the internal API.
