Interface ManagedBeanFactory

All Superinterfaces:

AutowireCapableBeanFactory, BeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory, ConfigurableBeanFactory, ConfigurableListableBeanFactory, HierarchicalBeanFactory, ListableBeanFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractManagedBeanFactory

public interface ManagedBeanFactory

extends ConfigurableBeanFactory

Creates and caches (corresponding to the faces specific scope definitions) managed beans declared in a faces configuration file. Implementations should create non-managed beans in the way described in the Spring docs. Scoping should be done for all scoped beans (see ScopedBeanDefinition) with the help of the configured ScopedBeanStorage (see setScopedBeanStorage(ScopedBeanStorage)).

Furthermore this class provides convenience methods for retrieving bean names and bean types by type and scope. For further information see getBeansOfType(Class, String, boolean) and ListableBeanFactory.getBeanNamesForType(Class, boolean, boolean) respectively.

Method Detail

getBeanNamesForType

public java.lang.String[] getBeanNamesForType(java.lang.Class type,
                                              java.lang.String scope)

Returns the names of beans matching the given type (including subclasses) and given scope.

Parameters:

type - the class or interface to match, or null for all bean names

scope - the scope to match, or null for all scopes

Returns:

the names of beans matching the given object type (including subclasses) and given scope, or an empty array if none

getBeansOfType

public java.util.Map getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class type,
                                    java.lang.String scope,
                                    boolean createBeanIfNecessary)

Returns the bean instances that match the given object type (including subclasses) and given scope. If the requested beans are not created yet they will be created if createBeanIfNecessary is true.

Parameters:

type - the class or interface to match, or null for all concrete beans

scope - the scope to match, or null for all scopes

createBeanIfNecessary - whether to create beans not created yet and return them, or not

Returns:

a Map with the matching beans, containing the bean names as keys and the corresponding bean instances as values

Throws:

BeansException - if a bean could not be created

setScopedBeanStorage

public void setScopedBeanStorage(ScopedBeanStorage scopedBeanStorage)

Sets the appropriate storage to use.

Parameters:

scopedBeanStorage - The scopedBeanStorage to set.
