    • getComponentAdapterOfType

      public <T> ComponentAdapter<T> getComponentAdapterOfType(Class<T> componentType, boolean autoRegistration)
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Find a component adapter associated with the specified type. If a component adapter cannot be found in this container, the parent container (if one exists) will be searched.
      Specified by:
      getComponentAdapterOfType in interface Container
      Overrides:
      getComponentAdapterOfType in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentType - the type of the component.
      autoRegistration - indicates whether the auto registration should be performed or not
      Returns:
      the component adapter associated with this class, or null if no component has been registered for the specified key.
    • getComponentAdaptersOfType

      public <T> List<ComponentAdapter<T>> getComponentAdaptersOfType(Class<T> componentType)
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Retrieve all component adapters inside this container that are associated with the specified type. The component adapters from the parent container are not returned.
      Specified by:
      getComponentAdaptersOfType in interface Container
      Overrides:
      getComponentAdaptersOfType in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentType - the type of the components.
      Returns:
      a collection containing all the ComponentAdapters inside this container that are associated with the specified type. Changes to this collection will not be reflected in the container itself.
    • getComponentInstancesOfType

      public <T> List<T> getComponentInstancesOfType(Class<T> componentType) throws ContainerException
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Returns a List of components of a certain componentType. The list is ordered by instantiation order, starting with the components instantiated first at the beginning.
      Specified by:
      getComponentInstancesOfType in interface Container
      Overrides:
      getComponentInstancesOfType in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentType - the searched type.
      Returns:
      a List of components.
      Throws:
      ContainerException
    • getComponentInstance

      public <T> T getComponentInstance(Object componentKey, Class<T> bindType, boolean autoRegistration) throws ContainerException
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Retrieve a component instance registered with a specific key. If a component cannot be found in this container, the parent container (if one exists) will be searched.
      Specified by:
      getComponentInstance in interface Container
      Overrides:
      getComponentInstance in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentKey - the key that the component was registered with.
      bindType - the expected type of the instance if one can be found.
      autoRegistration - indicates whether the auto registration should be performed or not
      Returns:
      an instantiated component, or null if no component has been registered for the specified key.
      Throws:
      ContainerException
    • getComponentInstanceOfType

      public <T> T getComponentInstanceOfType(Class<T> componentType, boolean autoRegistration)
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Find a component instance matching the specified type.
      Specified by:
      getComponentInstanceOfType in interface Container
      Overrides:
      getComponentInstanceOfType in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentType - the type of the component.
      autoRegistration - indicates whether the auto registration should be performed or not
      Returns:
      the adapter matching the class.
    • unregisterComponent

      public ComponentAdapter<?> unregisterComponent(Object componentKey)
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Unregister a component by key.
      Specified by:
      unregisterComponent in interface Container
      Overrides:
      unregisterComponent in class AbstractContainer
      Parameters:
      componentKey - key of the component to unregister.
      Returns:
      the ComponentAdapter that was associated with this component.
    • registerComponentInstance

      public <T> ComponentAdapter<T> registerComponentInstance(Object componentKey, T componentInstance) throws ContainerException
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Register an arbitrary object as a component in the container. This is handy when other components in the same container have dependencies on this kind of object, but where letting the container manage and instantiate it is impossible.
      Beware that too much use of this method is an antipattern.
      Specified by:
      registerComponentInstance in interface Container
      Overrides:
      registerComponentInstance in class AbstractContainer
      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 implementing container.
      componentInstance - an arbitrary object.
      Returns:
      the ComponentAdapter that has been associated with this component. In the majority of cases, this return value can be safely ignored, as one of the getXXX() methods of the Container interface can be used to retrieve a reference to the component later on.
      Throws:
      ContainerException - if registration fails.
    • registerComponentImplementation

      public <T> ComponentAdapter<T> registerComponentImplementation(Object componentKey, Class<T> componentImplementation) throws ContainerException
      Description copied from class: AbstractContainer
      Register a component.
      Specified by:
      registerComponentImplementation in interface Container
      Overrides:
      registerComponentImplementation in class AbstractContainer
      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.
      componentImplementation - the component's implementation class. This must be a concrete class (ie, a class that can be instantiated).
      Returns:
      the ComponentAdapter that has been associated with this component. In the majority of cases, this return value can be safely ignored, as one of the getXXX() methods of the Container interface can be used to retrieve a reference to the component later on.
      Throws:
      ContainerException - if registration of the component fails.
    • getId

      public String getId()
      Gives an identifier to the Container, allowing to inject an Interceptor into the Interceptor chain.
      Specified by:
      getId in interface Interceptor
      Overrides:
      getId in class AbstractInterceptor
