Interface Configuration<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

ValidatingConfigurationWrapper

public interface Configuration<T>

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

This implementation is used for un-ordered configuration data.

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

void	add(T object) Adds an object to the service's contribution.
void	addInstance(Class<? extends T> clazz) Automatically instantiates an instance of the class, with dependencies injected, and adds it to the configuration.

Method Detail

add

void add(T object)

Adds an object to the service's contribution.

Parameters:

object - to add to the service's configuration

addInstance

void addInstance(Class<? extends T> clazz)

Automatically instantiates an instance of the class, with dependencies injected, and adds it to the configuration. When the configuration type is an interface and the class to be contributed is a local file, then a reloadable proxy for the class will be created and contributed.

Parameters:

clazz - what class to instantiate
