Interface MappedConfiguration<K,V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValidatingMappedConfigurationWrapper

public interface MappedConfiguration<K,V>

Object passed into a service contributor method that allows the method provide contributed values to the service's configuration. A service can collect contributions in three different ways:

• As an un-ordered collection of values
• As an ordered list of values (where each value has a unique id, pre-requisites and post-requisites)
• As a map of keys and values

The service defines the type of contribution, in terms of a base class or service interface. Contributions must be compatible with the type.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	add(K key, V value) Adds a keyed object to the service's contribution.
void	addInstance(K key, Class<? extends V> clazz) Adds a keyed object as an instantiated instance (with dependencies injected) of a class.
void	override(K key, V value) Overrides an existing contribution by its key.
void	overrideInstance(K key, Class<? extends V> clazz) Overrides an existing contribution with a new instance.

Method Detail

add

void add(K key,
       V value)

Adds a keyed object to the service's contribution.

Parameters:

key - unique id for the value

value - to contribute

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if key is not unique

override

void override(K key,
            V value)

Overrides an existing contribution by its key.

Parameters:

key - unique id of value to override

value - new value, or null to remove the key entirely

Since:

5.1.0.0

addInstance

void addInstance(K key,
               Class<? extends V> clazz)

Adds a keyed object as an instantiated instance (with dependencies injected) of a class. When the value type is an interface and the class to be contributed is a local file, then a reloadable proxy for the value class will be created and contributed.

Parameters:

key - unique id for the value

clazz - class to instantiate and contribute

Since:

5.1.0.0

overrideInstance

void overrideInstance(K key,
                    Class<? extends V> clazz)

Overrides an existing contribution with a new instance. When the value type is an interface and the class to be contributed is a local file, then a reloadable proxy for the value class will be created and contributed.

Parameters:

key - unique id of value to override

clazz - class to instantiate as override
