Hi,

I came across some very strange behavior of the eclipse event system.
Lets consider the following injected methods:
(the difference is the method argument String<->Object)

    @Inject
    @Optional
    public void test1(@UIEventTopic("someEvent") String unused) {
        System.out.println("hello 1");
    }
    
    @Inject
    @Optional
    public void test2(@UIEventTopic("someEvent") Object unused) {
        System.out.println("hello 2");
    }


Since I only use the event (and no object which may be sent with it), I thought that it might be a good idea to just declare the argument as java.lang.Object unused.

But: what happens now is that the method test1 works fine and the method test2 does not. It is called once during object creation but never again.

Does anybody know why this might be? Thank you!

The problem most likely is that someone store an object under the key
java.lang.Object and this way overrules the ExtendedObjectSupplier which
is an extension only queried if the value is NOT found in the
IEclipseContext.

Try to change it to:

public void test2(@UIEventTopic("someEvent")
@Named("_you_will_never_find_me") Object unused) {

Yeah I guess fairly nobody does know :-( and IMHO this is an unfixable
bug in the DI container because the core does not know about those
extensions.

Hmm, this behaviour was fixed with bug 398728 back in 4.2.1.

Alexander, do you have a small test case that demonstrates the problem?

Brian.

Okay thanks Brian, this is good to know. The explanation for this is that I still use 4.3 Kepler.

If you're running against 4.3 then you shouldn't be encountering this bug, Alexander. Can you try commenting out your test1 method -- I wonder if it's something to do with having multiple methods within the same class.

Brian.

Okay I probably need to describe my settings a bit further:

- I use a target platform definition for an RCP application
- I import the eclipse plug-ins via the kepler release site: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler
- The version of org.eclipse.e4.core.di is 1.3.0.v20130514-1256

Am I importing it in a wrong way? Or was your bug-fix only applied to Luna?
