Add support for @javax.inject.Named and Spring's @Qualifier

[rliesenfeld]

Occasionaly, a tested class may have dependencies of different types which, in turn, have some other dependency of a type X, which need to be resolved to different instances of type X.

When using CDI or Spring DI, these X dependencies are usually qualified so they can be properly resolved. CDI's @nAmed, and Spring's @qualifier annotations are then used on fields of type X to specify the name of the desired instance.

So, when an injected field is annotated with @nAmed("name") or @qualifier("name"), JMockit should look for an @Injectable or @tested instance of the same type and "name", instead of using the regular searching rules (just the type, or type + injected field name).

Hi,
I'm using Guice and the support for @Named doesn't seem to work. My tested class has the following field:

@Inject @Named("git")
private FetchService fetchService;

When I mock it using @Injectable:

@Injectable
private FetchService fetchService;

I have the following error:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Missing @Injectable for field MyTestedService#fetchService, of type org.mycompany.MyTestedService

If I remove the @Named("git") annotation my fetchService is mocked correctly.

I was working with a colleague recently and we encountered a side effect of this implementation.

The application under test has beans with qualifiers containing dashes. Since this code expects the injectable variable to match the beanId we were in a bit of a pickle.

We worked around it by changing the @Qualifier annotation to @Resource but that may not always be a viable option, and it feels like a hack.

My question is: why not add an attribute to the @Injectable annotation that specifies the bean name in the scenario there are multiple auto-wire candidates?

I haven't dug into the code yet, but if you'll accept a PR to remedy this issue I'd be willing to try and make the contribution myself.

So, how shall this be used?
Is this the correct usage? It doesn't seem to work.

@Injectable("git")
private FetchService fetchService;

This is covered in the documentation for @Tested.
