Seam Solder provides a number of base classes which can be extended to create custom beans. Seam Solder also provides bean builders which can be used to dynamically create beans using a fluent API.
AbstractImmutableBean
An immutable (and hence thread-safe) bean, whose constructor will substitute specification defaults if
null is passed for a particular attribute. Subclasses must implement the
create() and destroy() methods.
AbstractImmutableProducer
An immutable (and hence thread-safe) abstract class for creating producers. Subclasses must implement
produce() and dispose().
BeanBuilder
A builder for creating immutable beans which can read the type and annotations from an
AnnotatedType.
BeansA set of utilities for working with beans.
ForwardingBean
A base class for implementing Bean which forwards all calls to delegate().
ForwardingInjectionTarget
A base class for implementing InjectionTarget which forwards all calls to delegate().
ForwardingObserverMethod
A base class for implementing ObserverMethod which forwards all calls to delegate().
ImmutableBean
An immutable (and hence thread-safe) bean, whose constructor will substitute specification defaults if
null is passed for a particular attribute. An implementation of
ContextualLifecycle may be registered to receive lifecycle callbacks.
ImmutableInjectionPointAn immutable (and hence thread-safe) injection point.
ImmutableNarrowingBeanAn immutable (and hence thread-safe) narrowing bean. Narrowing beans allow you to build a general purpose bean (likely a producer method), and register it for a narrowed type (or qualifiers).
ImmutablePassivationCapableBean
An immutable (and hence thread-safe) bean, whose constructor will substitute specification defaults if
null is passed for a particular attribute. An implementation of
ContextualLifecycle may be registered to receive lifecycle callbacks. The bean implements
PassivationCapable, and an id must be provided.
ImmutablePassivationCapableNarrowingBean
An immutable (and hence thread-safe) narrowing bean. Narrowing beans allow you to build a general purpose
bean (likely a producer method), and register it for a narrowed type (or qualifiers). The bean implements
PassivationCapable, and an id must be provided.
NarrowingBeanBuilder
A builder for creating immutable narrowing beans which can read the type and annotations from an
AnnotatedType.
The use of these classes is in general trivially understood with an understanding of basic programming patterns and the CDI specification, so no in depth explanation is provided here. The JavaDoc for each class and method provides more detail.
