Method Detail

setBean

void setBean(Object bean)

Sets the bean for the given context.

Parameters:

bean - the bean to set

isSearchAncestors

boolean isSearchAncestors()

Flag to indicate if a bean should be searched for up the component tree. If set true and the current component does not have a bean, then ask the next bean aware ancestor for its bean. If false and the component does not have a bean, then do not search the tree for a bean and return null.

Setting this to false at the correct bean container level can stop a bean component going up the whole component tree looking for its bean and being given the wrong bean.

Returns:

true if search ancestors for a bean, otherwise false to not search
