Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize(ComponentManager manager,
                       ClassLoader classLoader)

Loads all components defined using annotations.

Parameters:

manager - the component manager to use to dynamically register components

classLoader - the classloader to use to look for the Component list declaration file ( META-INF/components.txt)

initialize

public void initialize(ComponentManager manager,
                       ClassLoader classLoader,
                       List<String> componentClassNames,
                       List<String> componentOverrideClassNames)

Parameters:

manager - the component manager to use to dynamically register components

classLoader - the classloader to use to look for the Component list declaration file ( META-INF/components.txt)

componentClassNames - the list of components to load

componentOverrideClassNames - the list of components to override

getComponentsDescriptors

public List<ComponentDescriptor> getComponentsDescriptors(Class<?> componentClass)

findComponentRoleClasses

public Set<Class<?>> findComponentRoleClasses(Class<?> componentClass)

Finds the interfaces that implement component roles by looking recursively in all interfaces of the passed component implementation class. If the roles annotation value is specified then use the specified list instead of doing auto-discovery.

Parameters:

componentClass - the component implementation class for which to find the component roles it implements

Returns:

the list of component role classes implemented

getDeclaredComponents

public List<String> getDeclaredComponents(InputStream componentListStream)
                                   throws IOException

Get all components listed in the passed resource stream.

Parameters:

componentListStream - the stream to parse

Returns:

the list of component implementation class names

Throws:

IOException - in case of an error loading the component list resource
