为什么@Inject永远不会在我的抽象类中被调用

Question

I have the following scenario shown below. When I run the class in a debugger the @Inject never hits for myInjectMethod . If I move the myInjectMethod to MyService it works. Why is this happening?

@Singleton
@Creatable
public class MyService extends MyBaseService {

    @Inject
    public MyService(final IEclipseContext context) {
        context.set(MyService.class.getName(), this);
    }
}

abstract class MyBaseService {
    @Inject
    public void myInjectMethod(@Preference(nodePath = "MyPreferenceName", 
           value = "MyPreferenceValue") final boolean isSomething) {
         // Why do I never get here when running the debugger?
         System.out.println("Hello");
    }
}

Answer 1

Try moving the abstract class to its own file and making it public.

Which DI framework are you using? It might be that it doesn't support looking in super classes.

Answer 2

It seems the @Inject will not fire if the abstract class is package level. When I changed the abstract class to public, it started working.
