Constructor Detail

FactoryInjector

public FactoryInjector()
                throws PicoCompositionException

Throws:

PicoCompositionException

FactoryInjector

public FactoryInjector(Class<T> key)

Method Detail

getClass

public static Class<?> getClass(Type type)

getTypeArguments

public static <T> List<Class<?>> getTypeArguments(Class<FactoryInjector> class1,
                                                  Class<? extends Object> class2)

Get the actual type arguments a child class has used to extend a generic base class.

Parameters:

class1 - the base class

class2 - the child class

Returns:

a list of the raw classes for the actual type arguments.

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<T> 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).

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<T> 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.

getComponentInstance

public T getComponentInstance(PicoContainer container)

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.

getComponentInstance

public abstract T getComponentInstance(PicoContainer container,
                                       Type into)

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.

decorateComponentInstance

public Object decorateComponentInstance(PicoContainer container,
                                        Type into,
                                        T instance)

Description copied from interface: Injector

A preexiting component instance can be injected into after instantiation

Specified by:

decorateComponentInstance in interface Injector<T>

Parameters:

container - the container that can provide injectable dependencies

instance - the instance to

Returns:

verify

public void verify(PicoContainer container)

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.

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

start

public void start(PicoContainer container)

stop

public void stop(PicoContainer container)

dispose

public void dispose(PicoContainer container)

componentHasLifecycle

public boolean componentHasLifecycle()
