Guice: Child injector injecting root injector rather then itself
_From an.perez83 on April 15, 2010 06:54:44_
Hi everyone,
according to the JavaDoc of com.google.inject.Injector all injectors are supposed to have a binding
from Injector.class to themselves. Nevertheless, the child Injector seems to inject its root injector
rather then itself. I attached a short example code.
I guess that either the documentation or the implementation is faulty.
Cheers

Alright, I figured out a workaround: one must bind the class into which the child injector is going to be
injected explicitly in he child injector's bindings. For my previous example, this would mean something like
this: bind(A.class);
Nevertheless, I consider the current behavior a bug.

This is because if the binding does not exist in the child injector's module, Guice
will create it as a "just in time" binding, and JIT bindings are created in the
parent modules (for a variety of reasons).
