All Known Subinterfaces:

ModuleDef2

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultModuleDefImpl, SpringModuleDef, SyntheticModuleDef

public interface ModuleDef

Defines the contents of a module. In the default case, this is information about the services provided by the module builder class.

Method Summary

Class	getBuilderClass() Returns the class that will be instantiated.
Set<ContributionDef>	getContributionDefs() Returns all the contribution definitions built/provided by this module.
Set<DecoratorDef>	getDecoratorDefs() Returns all the decorator definitions built/provided by this module.
String	getLoggerName() Returns the name used to create a Logger instance.
ServiceDef	getServiceDef(String serviceId) Returns a service definition via the service's id.
Set<String>	getServiceIds() Returns the ids of the services built/provided by the module.

Method Detail

getServiceIds

Set<String> getServiceIds()

Returns the ids of the services built/provided by the module.

getServiceDef

ServiceDef getServiceDef(String serviceId)

Returns a service definition via the service's id. Ideally, the returned value should be an instance of ServiceDef2, and will be converted to such if necessary.

Parameters:

serviceId - the id of the service to retrieve (case is ignored)

Returns:

service definition or null if it doesn't exist

getDecoratorDefs

Set<DecoratorDef> getDecoratorDefs()

Returns all the decorator definitions built/provided by this module.

getContributionDefs

Set<ContributionDef> getContributionDefs()

Returns all the contribution definitions built/provided by this module.

getBuilderClass

Class getBuilderClass()

Returns the class that will be instantiated. Annotated instance methods of this class are invoked to build services, to decorate/intercept services, and make contributions to other services.

Note: this name is maintained for compatibilty; the term "module builder" is now just "module class".

getLoggerName

String getLoggerName()

Returns the name used to create a Logger instance. This is typically the builder class name.
