How to get all implementors/subclasses of an interface with Guice?

Question

With Spring, you can define an array property and have Spring inject one of every (@Component) class that derives from the given type.

Is there an equivalent for thi

Answer 1

This looks like a use case for Guice MultiBinder. You could have something like that:

interface YourInterface {
    ...
}

class A implements YourInterface {
    ...
}

class B implements YourInterface {
    ...
}

class YourModule extends AbstractModule {
    @Override protected void configure() {
        Multibinder.newSetBinder(YourInterface.class).addBinding().to(A.class):
        Multibinder.newSetBinder(YourInterface.class).addBinding().to(B.class):
    }
}

And you can inject a Set anywhere:

class SomeClass {
    @Inject public SomeClass(Set allImplementations) {
        ...
    }
}

That should match with what you need.
