DefaultPicoContainer.KnowsContainerAdapter

public DefaultPicoContainer.KnowsContainerAdapter(ComponentAdapter<T> ca,

Method Detail

getComponentInstance

public T getComponentInstance(Type into)
                       throws PicoCompositionException

Throws:

PicoCompositionException

getComponentKey

public Object getComponentKey()

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Retrieve the key associated with the component.

Specified by:

getComponentKey in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the component's key. Should either be a class type (normally an interface) or an identifier that is unique (within the scope of the current PicoContainer).

getComponentImplementation

public Class getComponentImplementation()

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Retrieve the class of the component.

Specified by:

getComponentImplementation in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the component's implementation class. Should normally be a concrete class (ie, a class that can be instantiated).

getComponentInstance

public T getComponentInstance(PicoContainer container)
                       throws PicoCompositionException

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Retrieve the component instance. This method will usually create a new instance each time it is called, but that is not required. For example, Cached will always return the same instance.

Specified by:

getComponentInstance in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

container - the PicoContainer, that is used to resolve any possible dependencies of the instance.

Returns:

the component instance.

Throws:

PicoCompositionException - if the component has dependencies which could not be resolved, or instantiation of the component lead to an ambigous situation within the container.

getComponentInstance

public T getComponentInstance(PicoContainer container,
                              Type into)
                       throws PicoCompositionException

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Retrieve the component instance. This method will usually create a new instance each time it is called, but that is not required. For example, Cached will always return the same instance.

Specified by:

getComponentInstance in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

container - the PicoContainer, that is used to resolve any possible dependencies of the instance.

into - the class that is about to be injected into. Use ComponentAdapter.NOTHING.class if this is not important to you.

Returns:

the component instance.

Throws:

PicoCompositionException - if the component has dependencies which could not be resolved, or instantiation of the component lead to an ambiguous situation within the container.

verify

public void verify(PicoContainer container)
            throws PicoCompositionException

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Verify that all dependencies for this adapter can be satisfied. Normally, the adapter should verify this by checking that the associated PicoContainer contains all the needed dependencies.

Specified by:

verify in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

container - the PicoContainer, that is used to resolve any possible dependencies of the instance.

Throws:

PicoCompositionException - if one or more dependencies cannot be resolved.

accept

public void accept(PicoVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Accepts a visitor for this ComponentAdapter. The method is normally called by visiting a PicoContainer, that cascades the visitor also down to all its ComponentAdapter instances.

Specified by:

accept in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor.

getDelegate

public ComponentAdapter getDelegate()

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Component adapters may be nested in a chain, and this method is used to grab the next ComponentAdapter in the chain.

Specified by:

getDelegate in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the next component adapter in line or null if there is no delegate ComponentAdapter.

findAdapterOfType

public <U extends ComponentAdapter> U findAdapterOfType(Class<U> adapterType)

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Locates a component adapter of type componentAdapterType in the ComponentAdapter chain. Will return null if there is no adapter of the given type.

Specified by:

findAdapterOfType in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Type Parameters:

U - the type of ComponentAdapter being located.

Parameters:

adapterType - the class of the adapter type being located. Never null.

Returns:

the appropriate component adapter of type U. May return null if the component adapter type is not returned.

getDescriptor

public String getDescriptor()

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Get a string key descriptor of the component adapter for use in toString()

Specified by:

getDescriptor in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the descriptor
