[jira] Created: (SHINDIG-484) DefaultGuiceModule should validate required properties

DefaultGuiceModule should validate required properties
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SHINDIG-484
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-484
             Project: Shindig
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Paul Lindner


Before we call 

   Names.bindProperties(this.binder(), properties);

we should do basic validation of the parameters we're injecting.  Currently server startup or servlet init will croak
with cryptic error messages if the appropriate parameters are not specified.

For example I spent a few hours with this error:

SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet xml-to-html
com.google.inject.ConfigurationException: Error at org.apache.shindig.gadgets.servlet.GadgetRenderingServlet.setGadgetRenderer(GadgetRenderingServlet.java:38) Binding to com.google.inject.Provider<org.apache.shindig.gadgets.servlet.GadgetRenderingTask> not found. No bindings to that type were found.


And this was actually caused by a missing String binding for "features.default" for GadgetFeatureRegistry

  public GadgetFeatureRegistry(@Named("features.default") String featureFiles,

-------------------------------------

That would require that the guice module be aware of every single possible value in the properties files and how to validate them. That just doesn't scale.

Well, we need to do something about this.  The current Guice error reporting is sub-par and this will make it harder to integrate.

Me, I just want my 4 hours of tracing through Guice Code back... :)
