Interface Registry<T>

Type Parameters:

T - element type of this registry

All Superinterfaces:

DefinitionReferenceIdResolver

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRegistry

@Multibinding
public interface Registry<T>
extends DefinitionReferenceIdResolver

An instance of a registry is responsible for one particular DefinitionType; these definition can come from various sources.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
static class	Registry.InvalidDefinitionException Thrown by a registry when the underlying bean is not successfully resolved, not valid, or not enabled.
static class	Registry.NoSuchDefinitionException Thrown by a registry when it doesn't hold an entity that is asked for.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addDecorator(DefinitionDecorator<T> definitionDecorator)
Collection<T>	getAllDefinitions() Returns all resolvable, valid and enabled definitions.
Collection<DefinitionMetadata>	getAllMetadata()
Collection<DefinitionProvider<T>>	getAllProviders()
DefinitionProvider<T>	getProvider(DefinitionMetadata id) Gets a definition provider by its complete id object.
DefinitionProvider<T>	getProvider(String referenceId) Convenience method, where the given String is what the corresponding DefinitionMetadata.getReferenceId() would return.
DefinitionMetadataBuilder	newMetadataBuilder() Deprecated. since 5.4.6 historically this method exists so that specific Registry implementation can provide its own strategy of converting a DefinitionMetadata to a string. With introduction of DefinitionReferenceIdResolver interface metadata can lose DefinitionMetadata.getReferenceId() method and will not need a special per-registry metadata builder.
DefinitionQuery<T>	query() Deprecated. as of 5.5 - directly instantiate an implementation of DefinitionQuery
void	register(DefinitionProvider<T> definitionProvider)
void	removeDecorator(DefinitionDecorator<T> definitionDecorator)
void	start() Call start() once sources have been added; addSource() should however call source.startWith(registry) so maybe not ?
DefinitionType	type()
Set<DefinitionMetadata>	unregisterAndRegister(Collection<DefinitionMetadata> toRemove, Collection<DefinitionProvider<T>> toAdd)

Method Detail

type

DefinitionType type()

newMetadataBuilder

@Deprecated
DefinitionMetadataBuilder newMetadataBuilder()

Deprecated. since 5.4.6 historically this method exists so that specific Registry implementation can provide its own strategy of converting a DefinitionMetadata to a string. With introduction of DefinitionReferenceIdResolver interface metadata can lose DefinitionMetadata.getReferenceId() method and will not need a special per-registry metadata builder.

Implementations of DefinitionMetadataBuilder determine how referenceId strings for this registry are generated.

start

void start()

Call start() once sources have been added; addSource() should however call source.startWith(registry) so maybe not ?

register

void register(DefinitionProvider<T> definitionProvider)

addDecorator

void addDecorator(DefinitionDecorator<T> definitionDecorator)

removeDecorator

void removeDecorator(DefinitionDecorator<T> definitionDecorator)

unregisterAndRegister

Set<DefinitionMetadata> unregisterAndRegister(Collection<DefinitionMetadata> toRemove,
                                              Collection<DefinitionProvider<T>> toAdd)

getProvider

DefinitionProvider<T> getProvider(DefinitionMetadata id)

Gets a definition provider by its complete id object.

getProvider

DefinitionProvider<T> getProvider(String referenceId)
                           throws Registry.NoSuchDefinitionException

Convenience method, where the given String is what the corresponding DefinitionMetadata.getReferenceId() would return.

Throws:

Registry.NoSuchDefinitionException - (which is a RuntimeException) if the given reference is not known.

DefinitionMetadata.getReferenceId()

getAllProviders

Collection<DefinitionProvider<T>> getAllProviders()

getAllDefinitions

Collection<T> getAllDefinitions()

Returns all resolvable, valid and enabled definitions.

getAllMetadata

Collection<DefinitionMetadata> getAllMetadata()

query

@Deprecated
DefinitionQuery<T> query()

Deprecated. as of 5.5 - directly instantiate an implementation of DefinitionQuery

Implementations are expected to return a subtype of DefinitionQuery that's able to callback its registry to perform the search.
