How to bind one implementation to a few interfaces with Google Guice?

Question

I need to bind one class as implementation of two interfaces. And it should be binded in a singleton scope.

What I've done:

bind(FirstSettings.class).     to(DefaultSettings.class).     in(Singleton.class); bind(SecondSettings.class).     to(DefaultSettings.class).     in(Singleton.class); 

But, obviously, it leads to creation of two different instances, because they are binded to the different keys.

My question is how can I do that?

Answer 1

Guice's wiki has a documentation about this use case.

Basically, this is what you should do:

// Declare that the provider of DefaultSettings is a singleton bind(DefaultSettings.class).in(Singleton.class);  // Bind the providers of the interfaces FirstSettings and SecondSettings // to the provider of DefaultSettings (which is a singleton as defined above) bind(FirstSettings.class).to(DefaultSettings.class); bind(SecondSettings.class).to(DefaultSettings.class); 

There is no need to specify any additional classes: just think in terms of Providers and the answer comes rather naturally.
