Method Detail

lookup

public Object lookup(String path)

First try our local registry then the parent.

Specified by:

lookup in interface BeanDirectory

Overrides:

lookup in class SimpleBeanRegistry

Parameters:

path - The path.

Returns:

The resultant value or null.

lookup

public <T> T lookup(String path,
                    Class<T> required)
             throws ArooaConversionException

Description copied from interface: BeanDirectory

Get a value, as above, but also convert it into to given type.

Conversion in the directory is required when the client code has no access to the converters required, for instance in a nested Oddjob.

Specified by:

lookup in interface BeanDirectory

Overrides:

lookup in class SimpleBeanRegistry

Type Parameters:

T - The required type.

Parameters:

path - The full path

required - The required type.

Returns:

An object of the required type or null if none can be found.

Throws:

ArooaConversionException - If an object can be found but it can't be converted into the required type.

getIdFor

public String getIdFor(Object bean)

Description copied from class: SimpleBeanRegistry

Find the id for the given component.

Specified by:

getIdFor in interface BeanDirectory

Overrides:

getIdFor in class SimpleBeanRegistry

Parameters:

bean - The component.

Returns:

The id or null if none can be found.

getAllByType

public <T> Iterable<T> getAllByType(Class<T> type)

Description copied from interface: BeanDirectory

Get all objects in the directory of the required type.

Why an Iterable not a Collection or Set? It was thought that this would force read only use. Maybe it should be an array...

Specified by:

getAllByType in interface BeanDirectory

Overrides:

getAllByType in class SimpleBeanRegistry

Type Parameters:

T - The required type.

Parameters:

type - The type.

Returns:

An Iterable for matches. Never null.
