Method Details

addService

boolean addService(Class<?> serviceClass, BeanContextServiceProvider serviceProvider)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Adds a service to this BeanContext. BeanContextServiceProviders call this method to register a particular service with this context. If the service has not previously been added, the BeanContextServices associates the service with the BeanContextServiceProvider and fires a BeanContextServiceAvailableEvent to all currently registered BeanContextServicesListeners. The method then returns true, indicating that the addition of the service was successful. If the given service has already been added, this method simply returns false.

Parameters:: serviceClass - the service to add; serviceProvider - the BeanContextServiceProvider associated with the service
Returns:: true if the service was successful added, false otherwise

revokeService

void revokeService(Class<?> serviceClass, BeanContextServiceProvider serviceProvider, boolean revokeCurrentServicesNow)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

BeanContextServiceProviders wishing to remove a currently registered service from this context may do so via invocation of this method. Upon revocation of the service, the BeanContextServices fires a BeanContextServiceRevokedEvent to its list of currently registered BeanContextServiceRevokedListeners and BeanContextServicesListeners.

Parameters:: serviceClass - the service to revoke from this BeanContextServices; serviceProvider - the BeanContextServiceProvider associated with this particular service that is being revoked; revokeCurrentServicesNow - a value of true indicates an exceptional circumstance where the BeanContextServiceProvider or BeanContextServices wishes to immediately terminate service to all currently outstanding references to the specified service.

hasService

boolean hasService(Class<?> serviceClass)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Reports whether or not a given service is currently available from this context.

Parameters:: serviceClass - the service in question
Returns:: true if the service is available

getService

Object getService(BeanContextChild child, Object requestor, Class<?> serviceClass, Object serviceSelector, BeanContextServiceRevokedListener bcsrl) throws TooManyListenersException

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

A BeanContextChild, or any arbitrary object associated with a BeanContextChild, may obtain a reference to a currently registered service from its nesting BeanContextServices via invocation of this method. When invoked, this method gets the service by calling the getService() method on the underlying BeanContextServiceProvider.

Parameters:: child - the BeanContextChild associated with this request; requestor - the object requesting the service; serviceClass - class of the requested service; serviceSelector - the service dependent parameter; bcsrl - the BeanContextServiceRevokedListener to notify if the service should later become revoked
Returns:: a reference to this context's named Service as requested or null
Throws:: TooManyListenersException - if there are too many listeners

releaseService

void releaseService(BeanContextChild child, Object requestor, Object service)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Releases a BeanContextChild's (or any arbitrary object associated with a BeanContextChild) reference to the specified service by calling releaseService() on the underlying BeanContextServiceProvider.

Parameters:: child - the BeanContextChild; requestor - the requestor; service - the service

getCurrentServiceClasses

Iterator<?> getCurrentServiceClasses()

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Gets the currently available services for this context.

Returns:: an Iterator consisting of the currently available services

getCurrentServiceSelectors

Iterator<?> getCurrentServiceSelectors(Class<?> serviceClass)

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.
