Element Detail

name

public abstract String name

Names can be used to identify specific ObjectFactories for method injection on a test, if no name is specified, then a default name will be used, and parameters of the test will fail if the reference an annotation with a name that does not exits.

Returns:

the name used to look up entities in this context

Default:

"__default"

instance

public abstract String instance

Only meaningful when used as Parameter annotation. Specifies the name of an instance in a the object factory related to this annotation we desire to be passed to the test as input at runtime.

Returns:

the name of an instance in an IoCContext

Default:

"__default"

classes

public abstract Class<?>[] classes

Classes that define the context we wish to work with.

Returns:

an array of classes used to build an IoCContext (the means of doing so is up to the objectFactoryClass())

Default:

{}

objectFactoryClass

public abstract Class<? extends ObjectFactory> objectFactoryClass

Classes of object factory we wish to use, if none is specified a discovery of object factories will ensue, if only one is supported by the current classloader, it will be used.

Returns:

the implementation of ObjectFactory we wish to use to build the context

Default:

com.github.advisedtesting.core.ObjectFactory.class

implementedBy

public abstract Class<? extends org.aopalliance.intercept.MethodInterceptor> implementedBy

implementedBy() returns a Class that implements MethodInterceptor. This field will be accessed via reflection so the name must be exact. If the class also implements Closeable the Closeable.close() method will be called at the close of the global context.

Returns:

the MethodInterceptor used to build the context, should never need to be changed.

Default:

com.github.advisedtesting.context.internal.IoCContextAdvice.class
