At what Point to insert a singleton class into the model? [message #987874]

I have a Singleton class, which should do some work, every time when a new Object is inserted into the Context.

If it would be in the model - I could do something like that inside the Singleton:


@Inject
onChange(MyClass monitor){
 //do the work here
}

What would be the best way to attach the Singleton to model, in order to monitor MyClass changes inside the context?

Ideas that come to mind:
1) Add it to the Model as an AddOn
2) Create and add the instance to the application context manualy on @PostContextCreate in your life cycle handler.

You should probably use @Optional too, since there will probably not be a MyClass in the context on creation of your singleton.

As far as I have understood, I would suggest to create your Singleton not as a Singleton, but as a POJO. Then annotate your class with @Creatable and @Singleton, and let the container do the "magic".

If you need to create your Singleton yourself with some initialization parameters or whatever, I guess a lifecycle hook method annotated with @PostContextCreate would be the best place to add it to the context.

Thnx Dirk, Christoph!
The @Creatable approach is what i need.

An other way could be using context.runAndTrack(new RunAndTrack()) to track object changes in context.
