Field Detail

DEFAULT

static final ApplicationContextFactory DEFAULT

A default ApplicationContextFactory implementation that will create an appropriate context for the WebApplicationType.

Method Detail

getEnvironmentType

default java.lang.Class<? extends org.springframework.core.env.ConfigurableEnvironment> getEnvironmentType(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Return the Environment type expected to be set on the created application context. The result of this method can be used to convert an existing environment instance to the correct type.

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

the expected application context type or null to use the default

Since:

2.6.14

createEnvironment

default org.springframework.core.env.ConfigurableEnvironment createEnvironment(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Create a new Environment to be set on the created application context. The result of this method must match the type returned by getEnvironmentType(WebApplicationType).

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

an environment instance or null to use the default

Since:

2.6.14

create

org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext create(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Creates the application context for a SpringApplication, respecting the given webApplicationType.

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

the newly created application context

ofContextClass

static ApplicationContextFactory ofContextClass(java.lang.Class<? extends org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext> contextClass)

Creates an ApplicationContextFactory that will create contexts by instantiating the given contextClass via its primary constructor.

Parameters:

contextClass - the context class

Returns:

the factory that will instantiate the context class

of

static ApplicationContextFactory of(java.util.function.Supplier<org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext> supplier)

Creates an ApplicationContextFactory that will create contexts by calling the given Supplier.

Parameters:

supplier - the context supplier, for example AnnotationConfigApplicationContext::new

Returns:

the factory that will instantiate the context class
