Method Detail

getDependentClass

public ClassDescription getDependentClass()

Returns the description of the class of this dependency.

Returns:

the class of this dependency

resolve

public BeanProvider resolve(BeanStore store,
                            DependencyProvider depProvider)

Resolves this dependency on the specified bean store. This implementation iterates over the beans defined in the store. If a bean provider is found whose bean class is either the same or a sub class of the class defined in this dependency, it is returned. Otherwise the parent bean store will be searched recursively.

Specified by:

resolve in interface Dependency

Parameters:

store - the bean store to be searched

depProvider - the dependency provider

Returns:

the found bean provider

Throws:

InjectionException - if no fitting bean provider can be found

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object with another one. Two class dependencies are considered equal if and only if they refer to the same class.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare to

Returns:

a flag whether the objects are equal

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hash code for this object.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

a hash code

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this object. This string will contain the name of the class referred to by this dependency.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string for this object

getInstance

public static ClassDependency getInstance(Class<?> cls)

Returns a ClassDependency instance for the specified class.

Parameters:

cls - the class of the dependency (must not be null)

Returns:

an instance pointing to the specified class

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class is null

getInstance

public static ClassDependency getInstance(ClassDescription clsdsc)

Returns a ClassDependency instance for the specified ClassDescription.

Parameters:

clsdsc - the class description

Returns:

an instance pointing to the specified class

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class description is null
