Class AbstractAdapter<T>

java.lang.Object

org.picocontainer.adapters.AbstractAdapter<T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ComponentAdapter<T>, ComponentMonitorStrategy

Direct Known Subclasses:

AbstractInjector, DefaultPicoContainer.LateInstance, InstanceAdapter

public abstract class AbstractAdapter<T>
extends Object
implements ComponentAdapter<T>, ComponentMonitorStrategy, Serializable

Base class for a ComponentAdapter with general functionality. This implementation provides basic checks for a healthy implementation of a ComponentAdapter. It does not allow to use null for the component key or the implementation, ensures that the implementation is a concrete class and that the key is assignable from the implementation if the key represents a type.

Constructor Detail

AbstractAdapter

public AbstractAdapter(Object componentKey,
               Class componentImplementation)

Constructs a new ComponentAdapter for the given key and implementation.

Parameters:

componentKey - the search key for this implementation

componentImplementation - the concrete implementation

AbstractAdapter

public AbstractAdapter(Object componentKey,
               Class componentImplementation,
               ComponentMonitor monitor)

Constructs a new ComponentAdapter for the given key and implementation.

Parameters:

componentKey - the search key for this implementation

componentImplementation - the concrete implementation

monitor - the component monitor used by this ComponentAdapter

Method Detail

getComponentKey

public Object getComponentKey()

Retrieve the key associated with the component.

Specified by:

getComponentKey in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the component's key. Should either be a class type (normally an interface) or an identifier that is unique (within the scope of the current PicoContainer).

See Also:

ComponentAdapter.getComponentKey()

getComponentImplementation

public Class<? extends T> getComponentImplementation()

Retrieve the class of the component.

Specified by:

getComponentImplementation in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the component's implementation class. Should normally be a concrete class (ie, a class that can be instantiated).

See Also:

ComponentAdapter.getComponentImplementation()

checkTypeCompatibility

protected void checkTypeCompatibility()

getComponentInstance

public T getComponentInstance(PicoContainer container)
                       throws PicoCompositionException

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Retrieve the component instance. This method will usually create a new instance each time it is called, but that is not required. For example, Cached will always return the same instance.

Specified by:

getComponentInstance in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

container - the PicoContainer, that is used to resolve any possible dependencies of the instance.

Returns:

the component instance.

Throws:

PicoCompositionException - if the component has dependencies which could not be resolved, or instantiation of the component lead to an ambigous situation within the container.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

Returns the ComponentAdapter's class name and the component's key.

See Also:

Object.toString()

accept

public void accept(PicoVisitor visitor)

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Accepts a visitor for this ComponentAdapter. The method is normally called by visiting a PicoContainer, that cascades the visitor also down to all its ComponentAdapter instances.

Specified by:

accept in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Parameters:

visitor - the visitor.

changeMonitor

public void changeMonitor(ComponentMonitor monitor)

Description copied from interface: ComponentMonitorStrategy

Changes the component monitor used

Specified by:

changeMonitor in interface ComponentMonitorStrategy

Parameters:

monitor - the new ComponentMonitor to use

currentMonitor

public ComponentMonitor currentMonitor()

Returns the monitor currently used

Specified by:

currentMonitor in interface ComponentMonitorStrategy

Returns:

The ComponentMonitor currently used

getDelegate

public final ComponentAdapter<T> getDelegate()

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Component adapters may be nested in a chain, and this method is used to grab the next ComponentAdapter in the chain.

Specified by:

getDelegate in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Returns:

the next component adapter in line or null if there is no delegate ComponentAdapter.

findAdapterOfType

public final <U extends ComponentAdapter> U findAdapterOfType(Class<U> adapterType)

Description copied from interface: ComponentAdapter

Locates a component adapter of type componentAdapterType in the ComponentAdapter chain. Will return null if there is no adapter of the given type.

Specified by:

findAdapterOfType in interface ComponentAdapter<T>

Type Parameters:

U - the type of ComponentAdapter being located.

Parameters:

adapterType - the class of the adapter type being located. Never null.

Returns:

the appropriate component adapter of type U. May return null if the component adapter type is not returned.
