Installers report

Installers report is intended to show what extensions could be used and share some light on how installers work.

Activation:

GuiceBundle.builder() 
    ...
    .printAvailableInstallers()
    .build());

Example output:

INFO  [2019-10-11 06:09:06,085] ru.vyarus.dropwizard.guice.debug.ConfigurationDiagnostic: Available installers report

Note

This is actually re-configured configuration report. But, in contrast to configration report, it shows all installers (even not used).

Also, it indicated used installer features. For example, looking at

OBJECT, ORDER                  managed              (r.v.d.g.m.i.feature.ManagedInstaller) 

You could see that managed installer (responsible for Managed objects installation) use objects for installation (obtains extension instance from guice and registers it). Also it supports ordering (so extensions could use @Order annotation).

By looking at @EagerSingleton installer:

BIND                           eagersingleton       (r.v.d.g.m.i.f.e.EagerSingletonInstaller)

You can see that it only applies guice binding and nothing more.

Installer features

Feature Description
OBJECT Installer use object instances for extensions registration (obtain instance from guice context)
TYPE Installer use extension class for extension registration. Usually it's jersey installers which has to register extension in jersey context
JERSEY Installer installs jersey features (in time of jersey start and not after injector creation as "pure" installers)
BIND Installer perform manual guice binding. For such installers, automatic untargetted binding for extension is not created (assuming installer require some custom binding). Such installers also verify manual gucie bindings, when they are recognized as extension binding.
OPTIONS Installer requires access for options. Most likely it means it supports additional configuration options (but it cold just read core options value).
ORDER Installer supports extensions ordering. Use @Order annotation to declare order.
