Robotlegs wiring up dependencies that belong to a base class

سؤال
I'm using robot legs, I've got a bunch of ServiceResponses that extends a base class and have a dependency on a Parser, IParser. I need to wire in a parser specific to the subclass. Here's an example:
ModuleConfigResponse extends SimpleServiceResponse and implements IServiceResponse.
The initial part is easy to wire in the context, here's an example:
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, ModuleConfigResponse);
injector.mapClass(IServiceResponse, SimpleServiceResponse, "roomconfig");
..etc
Each Response uses a parser that is used by the baseclass:
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");
injector.mapValue(IParser, RoomConfigParser, "roomconfig");
The question is how to tie these together. The base class could have:
[Inject]
public var parser : IParser
But I can't define the type ahead of time. Im wondering if there a nice way of wiring this in the context. For the moment I've decided to wire this up by instanciating responses in a ResponseFactory instead so that I pay pass the parser manually in the constructor.
injector.mapValue(IParser, ModuleConfigParser, "moduleconfig");

I realised that not everything can be mapped in the context, RL trapped me into this way of thinking. But I've realised that its far better to map a factory to produce these objects which have very specific dependencies, than littler the codebase with marker interfaces or strings :)

one solution is to have the following in your base class:
protected var _parser : IParser
Then for instance in ModuleConfigResponse
[Inject(name='moduleconfig')]
public function set parser( value : IParser ) : void{
_parser = value;
}
But TBH, using named injections is STRONGLY discouraged, you might as well use a marker interface:
public interface IModuleConfigParser extends IParser{}
the base class stays the same, but ModuleConfigResponse would then use:
[Inject]
public function set parser( value : IModuleConfigParser ) : void{
_parser = value;
}
