Method Detail

instancesExposedAs

<T> Iterable<T> instancesExposedAs(Class<T> interfaceType)

Loads classes exposed by the given interfaceType.

Type Parameters:

T - same type as interfaceType

Parameters:

interfaceType - an abstract class or interface in which concrete implementations is expected to be loaded

Returns:

found implementations or empty Iterable if none was found.

instanceOf

<T> Lang.Result<T> instanceOf(Class<T> type)

Load the instance of the given type.

Type Parameters:

T - same type as type

Parameters:

type - expected class to be loaded.

Returns:

an Optional instance containing or not the found instance.

instanceOfOrFail

default <T> T instanceOfOrFail(Class<T> type)

Load the instance of the given type.

Type Parameters:

T - same type as type

Parameters:

type - expected class to be loaded.

Returns:

found instance

Throws:

KosException - if not instance was found.

anyInstanceOf

default <T> Lang.Result<T> anyInstanceOf(Class<T> type)

Load the instance of the given type. It will try first to lookup for instances using instanceOf(java.lang.Class<T>). If fail, it will return the first one returned by instancesExposedAs(Class). If none has been found, Optional.empty() will be returned.

Type Parameters:

T - same type as type

Parameters:

type - expected class to be loaded.

Returns:

an Optional instance containing or not the found instance.
