Class Overview

A support class for Modules which reduces repetition and results in a more readable configuration. Simply extend this class, implement configure(), and call the inherited methods which mirror those found in Binder. For example: 

 public class MyModule extends AbstractModule {
   protected void configure() {
     bind(Service.class).to(ServiceImpl.class).in(Singleton.class);
     bind(CreditCardPaymentService.class);
     bind(PaymentService.class).to(CreditCardPaymentService.class);
     bindConstant().annotatedWith(Names.named("port")).to(8080);
   }
 }

Public Methods

public final synchronized void configure (Binder builder)

Contributes bindings and other configurations for this module to binder.

Do not invoke this method directly to install submodules. Instead use install(Module), which ensures that provider methods are discovered.

protected void requireBinding (Key<?> key)

Adds a dependency from this module to key. When the injector is created, Guice will report an error if key cannot be injected. Note that this requirement may be satisfied by implicit binding, such as a public no-arguments constructor.

protected void requireBinding (Class<?> type)

Adds a dependency from this module to type. When the injector is created, Guice will report an error if type cannot be injected. Note that this requirement may be satisfied by implicit binding, such as a public no-arguments constructor.
