OpenWebBeansPlugin (SPI definition 4.0.0 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

OpenWebBeansEjbPlugin, OpenWebBeansJavaEEPlugin

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractOwbPlugin
```
public interface OpenWebBeansPlugin
```
Interface which all OpenWebBeans plugins have to implement to extend the webbeans-core with additional IOC functionality.

There are 4 different types of functions for this interface:
1. plugin lifecycle like #startUp() and #shutDown()
2. injection execution will be called every time a been gets injected like #injectResource(Type, Annotation[])
see org.apache.webbeans.plugins.PluginLoader for documentation of the whole mechanism

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`<T> T`	`getSupportedService(Class<T> serviceClass)`	Gets service instance.
`void`	`isManagedBean(Class<?> clazz)`	Make sure that the given class is ok for simple web bean conditions, otherwise throw a `WebBeansConfigurationException`
`void`	`shutDown()`	At shutdown, the plugin must release all locked resources.
`void`	`startUp()`	initialise the plugin.
`boolean`	`supportService(Class<?> serviceClass)`	Returns true if plugin provides given service implementation false otherwise.
`boolean`	`supportsJavaEeComponentInjections(Class<?> targetClass)`	Returns true if given class supports injections, false otherwise.

- Method Detail
  - startUp
```
void startUp()
```
    initialise the plugin. This is called once after the very plugin has been loaded.
  - shutDown
```
void shutDown()
```
    At shutdown, the plugin must release all locked resources. This is called once before the very plugin gets destroyed. This is usually the case when the WebApplication gets stopped.
  - isManagedBean
```
void isManagedBean(Class<?> clazz)
```
    Make sure that the given class is ok for simple web bean conditions, otherwise throw a WebBeansConfigurationException
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - the class to check
  - supportService
```
boolean supportService(Class<?> serviceClass)
```
    Returns true if plugin provides given service implementation false otherwise.
    
    Parameters:
    
    serviceClass - any service class
    
    Returns:
    
    true if plugin provides given service implementation
  - supportsJavaEeComponentInjections
```
boolean supportsJavaEeComponentInjections(Class<?> targetClass)
```
    Returns true if given class supports injections, false otherwise.
    
    Parameters:
    
    targetClass - any target class
    
    Returns:
    
    true if given class supports injections
  - getSupportedService
```
<T> T getSupportedService(Class<T> serviceClass)
```
    Gets service instance.
    
    Type Parameters:
    
    T - type
