taglib -> dependency injection pojo/service how?

Question

Is there a nice way to dependency inject using a jsp taglib?

either using ejb 3.0, spring, or guice...

I have a lot of services/pojos that I would like to use in my taglibs

Answer 1

I think you want Seam, it enables you to refer to a component by name. However, the released version is JSF based, but that's changing.

Answer 2

Hello there,

just stumbled upon your question because I plan to do the same. You can actually use Spring and its @Configurable annotation (with AspectJ load-time or compile-time weaving) to inject services into your tag implementations. For a detailed explanation of all options have a look at Ramnivas' blog post here.

Hope to help in case you still need a solution...
