In my service, I have a protected constructor with @Inject and one of the parameters (provider) @Nullable. Any ideas why I am getting 

com.google.inject.CreationException: Guice creation errors:
1) No implementation for [[service]] was bound.

? Guice is 3.0pre1, @Nullable is ours.

  • @Nullable is not enforced in any way, it's a note to the reader or code analysis tools. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14076296/nullable-annotation-usage – David Gladfelter Jun 08 '15 at 16:33

    @DavidGladfelter actually Guice does mind `@Nullable` https://github.com/google/guice/wiki/UseNullable – orsg Feb 02 '16 at 07:37

@Nullable isn't the same as @Inject(optional=true)... I think if you want to inject null, you need to bind(Service.class).toProvider(Providers.<Service>of(null)) or to otherwise have some kind of provider bound that may return null.
