Interface ContractMatcherExtension<S extends org.fabric3.api.model.type.contract.ServiceContract,T extends org.fabric3.api.model.type.contract.ServiceContract>

public interface ContractMatcherExtension<S extends org.fabric3.api.model.type.contract.ServiceContract,T extends org.fabric3.api.model.type.contract.ServiceContract>

Determines if ServiceContracts are compatible using a particular mapping, for example, WSDL-to-Java.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
java.lang.Class<S>	getSource() Returns the contract type this extension maps from
java.lang.Class<T>	getTarget() Returns the contract type this extension maps to
MatchResult	isAssignableFrom(S source, T target, boolean reportErrors) Determines if two ServiceContracts are compatible for wiring.

Method Detail

getSource

java.lang.Class<S> getSource()

Returns the contract type this extension maps from

Returns:

the contract type this extension maps from

getTarget

java.lang.Class<T> getTarget()

Returns the contract type this extension maps to

Returns:

the contract type this extension maps to

isAssignableFrom

MatchResult isAssignableFrom(S source,
                             T target,
                             boolean reportErrors)

Determines if two ServiceContracts are compatible for wiring. Some interface languages, such as Java, allow for inheritance. In these cases, compatibility will include checking if the source contract is a super type of the target contract.

Parameters:

source - the source contract. Typically, this is the contract specified by a component reference.

target - the target contract. Typically this is the contract specified by a service.

reportErrors - true if errors should be reported in the result

Returns:

the result
