Package org.exoplatform.container

Class ExoContainer

java.lang.Object
org.exoplatform.container.AbstractContainer
org.exoplatform.container.ExoContainer
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Container, Disposable, Startable
Direct Known Subclasses:
PortalContainer, RootContainer, StandaloneContainer
public class ExoContainer extends AbstractContainer
Created by The eXo Platform SAS
The Exo Container is an object responsible for loading services/components. The eXoContainer class is inherited by all the containers, including RootContainer, PortalContainer, and StandaloneContainer. It itself inherits from a Container which allows eXo to apply the Inversion of Control (also known as IoC) principles.
