Reconstructing generic types at runtime with Guice via Types and TypeLiterals

Question

I have a few types that are like this

// a value that is aware of its key type (K)
Bar
// something that deals with such values and keys
Foo

        

Answer 1

Guice's factory cannot build TypeVariable instances. You'll need to implement this interface directly as you need it.

Note that Guice doesn't allow bindings for types that aren't fully-qualified. For example, you can bind a Map but you can't bind a Map.
