Class ProviderCreatingFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.beans.factory.config.AbstractFactoryBean<Provider>
      org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ProviderCreatingFactoryBean

All Implemented Interfaces:

Aware, BeanClassLoaderAware, BeanFactoryAware, DisposableBean, FactoryBean<Provider>, InitializingBean

public class ProviderCreatingFactoryBean
extends AbstractFactoryBean<Provider>

A FactoryBean implementation that returns a value which is a JSR-330 Provider that in turn returns a bean sourced from a BeanFactory.

This is basically a JSR-330 compliant variant of Spring's good old ObjectFactoryCreatingFactoryBean. It can be used for traditional external dependency injection configuration that targets a property or constructor argument of type javax.inject.Provider, as an alternative to JSR-330's @Inject annotation-driven approach.

Since:

3.0.2

Method Detail

setTargetBeanName

public void setTargetBeanName(String targetBeanName)

Set the name of the target bean.

The target does not have to be a non-singleton bean, but realisticially always will be (because if the target bean were a singleton, then said singleton bean could simply be injected straight into the dependent object, thus obviating the need for the extra level of indirection afforded by this factory approach).

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Description copied from class: AbstractFactoryBean

Eagerly create the singleton instance, if necessary.

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Overrides:

afterPropertiesSet in class AbstractFactoryBean<Provider>

Throws:

Exception - in the event of misconfiguration (such as failure to set an essential property) or if initialization fails.

getObjectType

public Class getObjectType()

Description copied from class: AbstractFactoryBean

This abstract method declaration mirrors the method in the FactoryBean interface, for a consistent offering of abstract template methods.

Specified by:

getObjectType in interface FactoryBean<Provider>

Specified by:

getObjectType in class AbstractFactoryBean<Provider>

Returns:

the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

See Also:

FactoryBean.getObjectType()

createInstance

protected Provider createInstance()

Description copied from class: AbstractFactoryBean

Template method that subclasses must override to construct the object returned by this factory.

Invoked on initialization of this FactoryBean in case of a singleton; else, on each AbstractFactoryBean.getObject() call.

Specified by:

createInstance in class AbstractFactoryBean<Provider>

Returns:

the object returned by this factory

AbstractFactoryBean.getObject()
