Method Detail

type

public java.lang.Class<T> type()

Description copied from interface: Inhabitant

Type of the inhabitant.

The only binding contract that needs to be honored is that the Inhabitant.get() method returns an instance assignable to this type. That is, get().getClass()==type() doesn't necessarily have to hold, but type().isInstance(get()) must.

This is particularly true when Factory is involved, as in such case HK2 has no way of knowing the actual type. That said, this method is not designed for the semantics of contract/implementation split --- implementations of a contract should return the concrete type from this method, and use habitat index to support look-up by contract.

Specified by:

type in interface Inhabitant<T>

Overrides:

type in class EventPublishingInhabitant<T>

Returns:

Always non-null, same value.

get

public T get(Inhabitant onBehalfOf)

Description copied from interface: Inhabitant

Returns the instance of this inhabitant.

THIS METHOD SHOULD BE ONLY USED BY HK2 IMPLEMENTATION.

Inhabitants are often used with the decorator pattern (see AbstractCreatorInhabitantImpl for example), yet during the object initializtion inside the Inhabitant.get() method, we often need the reference to the outer-most Inhabitant registered to the Habitat (for example so that we can request the injection of {link Inhabita} that represents itself, or to inject companions.)

So this overloaded version of the get method takes the outer-most Inhabitant. This method is only invoked from within HK2 where the decorator pattern is used.

Specified by:

get in interface Inhabitant<T>

Overrides:

get in class EventPublishingInhabitant<T>

verifyState

protected void verifyState()
                    throws ComponentException

Verifies that the state of the RunLevelService is appropriate for this instance activation.

Throws:

ComponentException - if not in an appropriate state

getState

public RunLevelState<?> getState()
