Class AliasDescriptor<T>

Type Parameters:
T - The cache type
All Implemented Interfaces:
Externalizable, Serializable, ActiveDescriptor<T>, Descriptor, SingleCache<T>

public class AliasDescriptor<T> extends AbstractActiveDescriptor<T>
An active descriptor class that serves as an alias for another descriptor. This alias can have only one contract that may or may not also be advertised by the host descriptor. An AliasDescriptor can have a different name from the host descriptor as well

    • getImplementationClass

      public Class<?> getImplementationClass()
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      The implementation class that should be used to generate new instances of this descriptor.

      If the class returned is a Factory, then the factory is used to create instances. In this case the system will get an instance of the factory and use it to create the instances

      Returns:
      The class that directly implements the contract types, or the class that is the factory for an object that implements the contract types
    • getImplementationType

      public Type getImplementationType()
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      If known the Type of the implementation. If unknown will return the same as ActiveDescriptor.getImplementationClass()
      Returns:
      The type of the implementation or the implementation class
    • create

      public T create(ServiceHandle<?> root)
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      Creates an instance of the ActiveDescriptor. All of the Injectee's must be created prior to instantiation, and associated with the ExtendedProvider so that they can be destroyed properly
      Parameters:
      root - The root service handle, which can be used to associated all the PerLookup objects with this creation
      Returns:
      An instance of this ActiveDescriptor
    • isReified

      public boolean isReified()
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      This method returns true if this descriptor has been reified (class loaded). If this method returns false then the other methods in this interface will throw an IllegalStateException. Once this method returns true it may be
      Specified by:
      isReified in interface ActiveDescriptor<T>
      Overrides:
      isReified in class AbstractActiveDescriptor<T>
      Returns:
      true if this descriptor has been reified, false otherwise
    • getImplementation

      public String getImplementation()
      Description copied from interface: Descriptor
      Returns the fully qualified class name of the implementation class. If this is a factory descriptor then this will return the fully qualified name of the class implementing the factory interface.
      Specified by:
      getImplementation in interface Descriptor
      Overrides:
      getImplementation in class DescriptorImpl
      Returns:
      Might return null in some cases, but will usually return the fully qualified class name of the implementation class or of the factory class for this descriptor
    • getContractTypes

      public Set<Type> getContractTypes()
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      The set of types that this ActiveDescriptor must produce. These types may be Classes or ParameterizedTypes, and may be no other subclass of Type
      Specified by:

    • getInjectees

      public List<Injectee> getInjectees()
      Description copied from interface: ActiveDescriptor
      Returns the full list of Injectees this class has. These references will be resolved prior to the class being constructed, even if these injectees are field or method injectees.
