Force initialization of Scala singleton object

Question

I\'m working on an automatic mapping framework built on top of Dozer. I won\'t go into specifics as it\'s not relevant to the question but in general it\'s supposed to allow

Answer 1

In ended up doing this:

trait ProjektionAware with DelayedInit
{
  private val initCode = new ListBuffer[() => Unit]

  override def delayedInit(body: => Unit)
  {
    initCode += (() => body)
  }


  def registerProjektions()
  {
    for (proc <- initCode) proc()
  }
}

object A extends ProjektionAware {
  projekt[A].to[B]

}

Now I can use a classpath scanning library to initialize all instances of ProjektionAware on application bootstrap. Not ideal, but works for me.
