Class DefaultPicoContainer

java.lang.Object
  org.picocontainer.DefaultPicoContainer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ComponentMonitorStrategy, Converting, Disposable, MutablePicoContainer, PicoContainer, Startable

Direct Known Subclasses:

TieringPicoContainer, TransientPicoContainer

public class DefaultPicoContainer
extends Object
implements MutablePicoContainer, Converting, ComponentMonitorStrategy, Serializable

The Standard PicoContainer/MutablePicoContainer implementation. Constructing a container c with a parent p container will cause c to look up components in p if they cannot be found inside c itself.

Using Class objects as keys to the various registerXXX() methods makes a subtle semantic difference:

If there are more than one registered components of the same type and one of them are registered with a Class key of the corresponding type, this addComponent will take precedence over other components during type resolution.

Another place where keys that are classes make a subtle difference is in HiddenImplementation.

This implementation of MutablePicoContainer also supports ComponentMonitorStrategy.

Returns:

the same instance of MutablePicoContainer

addComponent

public MutablePicoContainer addComponent(Object componentKey,
                                         Object componentImplementationOrInstance,
                                         Parameter... parameters)

Register a component and creates specific instructions on which constructor to use, along with which components and/or constants to provide as constructor arguments. These "directives" are provided through an array of Parameter objects. Parameter[0] correspondes to the first constructor argument, Parameter[N] corresponds to the N+1th constructor argument.

Tips for Parameter usage

• Partial Autowiring: If you have two constructor args to match and you only wish to specify one of the constructors and let PicoContainer wire the other one, you can use as parameters: new ComponentParameter(), new ComponentParameter("someService") The default constructor for the component parameter indicates auto-wiring should take place for that parameter.
• Force No-Arg constructor usage: If you wish to force a component to be constructed with the no-arg constructor, use a zero length Parameter array. Ex: new Parameter[0]
  The returned ComponentAdapter will be instantiated by the ComponentFactory passed to the container's constructor.

  Specified by:

  addComponent in interface MutablePicoContainer

  Parameters:

  componentKey - a key that identifies the component. Must be unique within the container. The type of the key object has no semantic significance unless explicitly specified in the documentation of the implementing container.

  componentImplementationOrInstance - the component's implementation class. This must be a concrete class (ie, a class that can be instantiated). Or an intance of the compoent.

  parameters - the parameters that gives the container hints about what arguments to pass to the constructor when it is instantiated. Container implementations may ignore one or more of these hints.

  Returns:

  the same instance of MutablePicoContainer

  Parameter, ConstantParameter, ComponentParameter

start

public void start()

Start the components of this PicoContainer and all its logical child containers. The starting of the child container is only attempted if the parent container start successfully. The child container for which start is attempted is tracked so that upon stop, only those need to be stopped. The lifecycle operation is delegated to the component adapter, if it is an instance of lifecycle manager. The actual lifecycle strategy supported depends on the concrete implementation of the adapter.

Specified by:

start in interface Startable

See Also:

Behavior, LifecycleStrategy, makeChildContainer(), addChildContainer(PicoContainer), removeChildContainer(PicoContainer)

stop

public void stop()

Stop the components of this PicoContainer and all its logical child containers. The stopping of the child containers is only attempted for those that have been started, possibly not successfully. The lifecycle operation is delegated to the component adapter, if it is an instance of lifecycle manager. The actual lifecycle strategy supported depends on the concrete implementation of the adapter.

stop in interface Startable

See Also:

Behavior, LifecycleStrategy, makeChildContainer(), addChildContainer(PicoContainer), removeChildContainer(PicoContainer)

dispose

public void dispose()

Specified by:

makeChildContainer in interface MutablePicoContainer

the new child container.

public MutablePicoContainer addChildContainer(PicoContainer child)

Description copied from interface: MutablePicoContainer

Returns:

the same instance of MutablePicoContainer
