Method Detail

addSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration addSingletonBean(String name,
                                   Class clazz)

Adds a singleton bean definition

Parameters:

name - The name of the bean

clazz - The class of the bean

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

getUnrefreshedApplicationContext

ApplicationContext getUnrefreshedApplicationContext()

addPrototypeBean

BeanConfiguration addPrototypeBean(String name,
                                   Class clazz)

Adds a prototype bean definition

Parameters:

name - The name of the bean

clazz - The class of the bean

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

getApplicationContext

ApplicationContext getApplicationContext()

Retrieves the application context from the current state

Returns:

The ApplicationContext instance

addSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration addSingletonBean(String name)

Adds an empty singleton bean configuration

Parameters:

name - The name of the singleton bean

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

addPrototypeBean

BeanConfiguration addPrototypeBean(String name)

Adds an empty prototype bean configuration

Parameters:

name - The name of the prototype bean

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

createSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(Class clazz)

Creates a singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references. Hence should be used for creating nested beans

Parameters:

clazz -

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

addSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration addSingletonBean(String name,
                                   Class clazz,
                                   Collection args)

Creates a new singleton bean and adds it to the list of bean references

Parameters:

name - The name of the bean

clazz - The class of the bean

args - The constructor arguments of the bean

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

createSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(Class clazz,
                                      Collection constructorArguments)

Creates a singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references. Hence should be used for creating nested beans

Parameters:

clazz - The bean class

constructorArguments - The constructor arguments

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

createPrototypeBean

BeanConfiguration createPrototypeBean(String name)

Creates a new prototype bean configuration. Differs from addPrototypeBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references to be created via the getApplicationContext() method, hence can be used for creating nested beans

Parameters:

name - The bean name

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

createSingletonBean

BeanConfiguration createSingletonBean(String name)

Creates a new singleton bean configuration. Differs from addSingletonBean in that it doesn't add the bean to the list of bean references to be created via the getApplicationContext() method, hence can be used for creating nested beans

Parameters:

name - The bean name

Returns:

A BeanConfiguration instance

addBeanConfiguration

void addBeanConfiguration(String beanName,
                          BeanConfiguration beanConfiguration)

Parameters:

beanName - The name of the bean in the context

beanConfiguration - The BeanConfiguration instance

addBeanDefinition

void addBeanDefinition(String name,
                       BeanDefinition bd)

Adds a Spring BeanDefinition. Differs from BeanConfiguration which is a factory class for creating BeanDefinition instances

Parameters:

name - The name of the bean

bd - The BeanDefinition instance

containsBean

boolean containsBean(String name)

Returns whether the runtime spring config contains the specified bean

Parameters:

processor - The BeanFactoryPostProcessor instance

getBeanNames

List getBeanNames()

registerBeansWithContext

void registerBeansWithContext(GenericApplicationContext applicationContext)

Registers the beans held within this RuntimeSpringConfiguration instance with the given ApplicationContext

Parameters:

applicationContext - The ApplicationContext instance

addAbstractBean

BeanConfiguration addAbstractBean(String name)
