Play framework 2.4, Guice, and securesocial

Question

I am attempting to follow a tutorial that I found at http://www.filtercode.com/play/play-scala-securesocial. But the tutorial was for Play 2.3. I am having issues because in play version 2.4 they removed getControllerInstance from play.api.GlobalSettings. How would I use Guice dependency injection to accomplish the same functionality desired?

    import java.lang.reflect.Constructor
    import securesocial.core.RuntimeEnvironment
    import securesocial.core.providers._
    import securesocial.core.providers.utils.{Mailer, PasswordHasher, PasswordValidator}
    import services.{DemoUserService}
    import models.DemoUser
    import scala.collection.immutable.ListMap

    object Global extends play.api.GlobalSettings {

      /**
       * Demo application's custom Runtime Environment
       */
      object DemoRuntimeEnvironment extends RuntimeEnvironment.Default[DemoUser] {
        override lazy val userService: DemoUserService = new DemoUserService
        override lazy val providers = ListMap(
          include(new FacebookProvider(routes, cacheService, oauth2ClientFor(FacebookProvider.Facebook))),
          include(new GitHubProvider(routes, cacheService, oauth2ClientFor(GitHubProvider.GitHub))),
          include(new GoogleProvider(routes, cacheService, oauth2ClientFor(GoogleProvider.Google))),
          include(new LinkedInProvider(routes, cacheService, oauth1ClientFor(LinkedInProvider.LinkedIn))),
          include(new TwitterProvider(routes, cacheService, oauth1ClientFor(TwitterProvider.Twitter))),
          include(new UsernamePasswordProvider[DemoUser](userService, avatarService, viewTemplates, passwordHashers))
        )
      }

       /**
       * Dependency injection on Controllers using Cake Pattern
       *
       * @param controllerClass
       * @tparam A
       * @return
       */
      override def getControllerInstance[A](controllerClass: Class[A]): A = {
        val instance = controllerClass.getConstructors.find { c =>
          val params = c.getParameterTypes
          params.length == 1 && params(0) == classOf[RuntimeEnvironment[DemoUser]]
        }.map {
          _.asInstanceOf[Constructor[A]].newInstance(DemoRuntimeEnvironment)
        }
        instance.getOrElse(super.getControllerInstance(controllerClass))
      }

    }

Error Message if I remove the Cake Pattern snippet above:

Answer 1

Right now SecureSocial doesn't support dependency injection (JSR 330) and on version 2.4, Play team did a major change towards elimination of global state, using DI for that task.

Keep an eye on issue 556

UPDATE: as pointed by Jorge since version 3.0-M4, Play 2.4 is supported.

Answer 2

Starting 3.0-M4 you can use Play 2.4
