Container

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultAutoWiringAdaptableContainer

public interface AutoWiringAdaptableContainer
extends Container

A Container that uses an AutoWiringAdapter to ensure that components can be created appropriately with their dependencies satisfied automatically.

Method Summary

void	registerType(java.lang.Object key, AutoWiringAdapter componentAdapter) Register a component.
void	registerType(java.lang.Object key, java.lang.Class componentAdapter) Register an independent component.
void	start() Begin the lifecycle of the container, after which components should be accessible.

Method Detail

start

void start()

Description copied from interface: Container

Begin the lifecycle of the container, after which components should be accessible. Implementors should stop any component registration as of the start() call. Subsequent start() calls should be ignored.

Specified by:

start in interface Container

registerType

void registerType(java.lang.Object key,
                  AutoWiringAdapter componentAdapter)

Register a component. The component's class must satisfy the test Injectable.class.isAssignableFrom(type); to ensure that the provided component implements the lifecycle mechanisms necessary to auto-wire.

registerType

void registerType(java.lang.Object key,
                  java.lang.Class componentAdapter)

Register an independent component. This is a convenience registry method for those components without dependencies, and which have a default constructor. Only classes which fit these criteria should be used in this method.
