Declaring Injection fields as static

Question

Can I declare a Service injection as static in my Controller?

For example :

@Inject private static UserAttributeService userService;

Update : My requirement was to initialize a Map in static block. The map will be unmodifiable, but it will be initialized after a database call.

But its not being allowed as non static Service layer cannot be called from static block. I havent tried declaring my Service injection as static as I am not sure if its a good practice.

static { crudService.executeNamedQuery(DBOperation.SELECT, "someQuery", null, null); }

Two follow-up questions: 1) Why do this if you're capable of injecting the dependency where you actually need it? 2) Have you attempted this? — Makoto, May 03 '16 at 16:05

Yes, you can.

From the annotation's javadoc :

May apply to static as well as instance members.
