Can I Use Dropwizard for This?

Monday, August 11, 2014 |

I’ve been toying with using DropWizard as my…​ deployment platform for a personal project, but I need/want JAX-RS 2 and CDI, which is a problem for the the stable DW. There is a branch that is migrating to JAX-RS 2 (and Jersey 2.9), and it sort of works, but trying a simple injection is causing a failure I can’t quite figure out:

Caused by: A MultiException has 1 exceptions.  They are:
1. org.glassfish.hk2.api.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: There was no object available for injection at Injectee(requiredType=SayHelloService,parent=HelloWorldResource,qualifiers={}),position=-1,optional=false,self=false,unqualified=null,288169102)

If I create the Weld runtime and request the beans specifically, I get to good objects (instances of both A and B, with B having an injected instance of A), but once I tell DW to fire things, the app dies:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
        Weld weld = new Weld();
        WeldContainer container = weld.initialize();
        container.instance().select(SayHelloService.class).get();
        SayHelloService service = WeldContext.INSTANCE.getBean(SayHelloService.class);
        final HelloWorldResource resource = container.instance().select(HelloWorldResource.class).get();
        resource.setTemplate(configuration.getTemplate());
        resource.setDefaultName(configuration.getDefaultName());

        final TemplateHealthCheck healthCheck
                = new TemplateHealthCheck(configuration.getTemplate());
        environment.healthChecks().register("template", healthCheck);
        environment.jersey().register(resource);

It seems, then, my deployment environment will be, at least for now, a Java EE app server. They’re small enough these days that it really shouldn’t matter. I was just curious to see if DW might be viable for me, and it appears that the answer is "not yet".

I’ll check back later.
