Hi there, While writing my plugin I came across the problem that I would like to inject my custom self written client with a suggest method, whenever node.client() is called - this would be especially useful for my tests, as I am currently doing integration tests against the rest controller. --Alexander ---

Hey, Sadly, there isn't really an option to do it. But, you could get the TransportXXAction one and use it (from the internal injector). Need to think more on custom APIs and how to add them to a statically typed language 🙂 -shay.banon On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 5:18 PM, Alexander Reelsen \< [alexander.reelsen@googlemail.com](mailto:alexander.reelsen@googlemail.com)\> wrote: > Hi there, > > While writing my plugin I came across the problem that I would like to > inject my custom self written client with a suggest method, whenever > node.client() is called - this would be especially useful for my > tests, as I am currently doing integration tests against the rest > controller. > > --Alexander ---

Does it make sense to resolve all these dependencies or is there some trick I just dont see? Or some even better solution? Thanks a lot for helping! --Alexander ---

What? You have your action implemented, no? You can get the guice injector and get its (singleton) instance.
