Interface ClassFileServices

All Superinterfaces:

BootstrapService, Service

All Known Implementing Classes:

WeldSEClassFileServices

public interface ClassFileServices
extends BootstrapService

An optional service that provides fast access to Java class metadata without the need to load the given class. An integrator may use this service to expose its bytecode scanning facility. If a service implementation is present, Weld uses it to optimize the bootstrap process. The ClassFileServices implementation is used to determine whether a given Java class fulfills CDI bean requirements instead of loading the class using a ClassLoader and examining the result using Java reflection.
