Package org.glassfish.pfl.dynamic.generator Description

This package defines a facility that can be used to enhance Java interfaces and abstract classes with properties and delegation. Delegation only applies to abstract classes, since a class must contain non-static data members to support delegation. An interface or abstract class that contains at least one abstract method annotated @Value or at least one field annotated @Delegate is a client class. The resulting implementation produced automatically as described below is the enhanced class. All properties are read-only and all delegates are set in the constructor. Writable properties are generally a bad idea, and indicate a poor design. Dynamic delegation is potentially very useful, but not really in keeping with the static nature of Java interfaces. It also raises complex synchronization questions which probably cannot be handled by a general framework. Annotations used:
