Use dependency injection instead of singletons for services [message #553713]

Hello,

instead of using singletons for Graphiti's services which are accessed by Graphiti.getGaService() and others, dependency injection would open the possibility of replacing the standard services by user-defined ones.

Does the Graphiti team plan to use Guice or other frameworks for dependency injection?

Best regards,

Ken

Hello Ken,

thanks for this suggestion. As always it is a good approach to seperate API
from implementation, e.g. by using dependency injection.

Nevertheless, currently we see our services more or less as a static
offering towards the tools. So, at least currently we don't have plans in
this respect. Do you have a concrete usecase in which you would need this?

Best regards,
Michael

Hello Michael,

the idea was to replace IPeCreateService and IGaCreateService to provide alternative implementations of Graphiti's diagram model.

Best regards,

Ken

With Tim's idea how to solve that, you might not need to do this. I'm also
curious, just let me know if that works....

Best regards,
Michael
