gate.util.spring
Class GateAwareObject

java.lang.Object
  gate.util.spring.GateAwareObject

All Implemented Interfaces:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware

Direct Known Subclasses:

DuplicateResourceFactoryBean, FeatureMapFactoryBean, GateResourceFactoryBean, SavedApplicationFactoryBean

public class GateAwareObject
extends Object
implements org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanFactoryAware

Convenience superclass for objects that may be created by Spring and need to ensure that GATE is initialised before they do their work. Subclasses can call ensureGateInit() to force the initialisation of any Init beans in the creating BeanFactory, thus ensuring that GATE will be properly initialised. The method does nothing if the bean factory has not been set (e.g. if the object is being used outside Spring). In this case, we assume that GATE initialisation has already been handled elsewhere.
