Interface Component

All Known Subinterfaces:

ConfigurableObjectProvider, ExecutableComponent, ObjectProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractComponent

public interface Component

This interface is the most abstracted representation of a configuration element in a mule artifact. It contains the minimal required contract for components.

Annotations are handled by the runtime and must not be tampered by custom implementations. The runtime will put values and remove values from the annotations and that behaviour should not be changed by any custom implementation.

Since:

1.0

Method Detail

getAnnotation

Object getAnnotation(QName name)

Gets the value of specified annotation.

Returns:

the value of specified annotation

getAnnotations

Map<QName,Object> getAnnotations()

Gets all annotations.

Returns:

all annotation

setAnnotations

void setAnnotations(Map<QName,Object> annotations)

Sets annotations to the object.

getLocation

ComponentLocation getLocation()

Returns:

the location properties of this component in the mule app configuration, or null if this object was generated programmatically and not from a configuration element.

getRootContainerLocation

Location getRootContainerLocation()

The actual root container component location. Some components may belong to a template component in the configuration such as a subflow or a module operation. Since those are template that end up being part of another root container component, like a flow, then the root container may differ from the one on ComponentLocation#getRootContainerLocation().

Returns:

the root container component location.
