public class ComponentMetadataRepo

Method Detail

readMetadata

public static void readMetadata(URL metadataFile)
                         throws IOException,
                                ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

IOException

ClassNotFoundException

findComponentMetadata

public static ComponentMetadata findComponentMetadata(Class<?> componentType)

Locates metadata for a given component type if registered. If not registered, superclasses/interfaces are consulted, until, finally, an empty instance of ComponentMetadata is returned effectively declaring that the component has no dependencies or any lifecycle methods declared.

Parameters:

componentType - component type to look for

Returns:

metadata expressed as a ComponentMetadata instance

findComponentMetadata

public static ComponentMetadata findComponentMetadata(String componentName)

Locates metadata for a given component type if registered. If not registered, a null is returned.

Parameters:

componentName - name of component type to look for

Returns:

metadata expressed as a ComponentMetadata instance, or null

findFactoryForComponent

public static String findFactoryForComponent(Class<?> componentType)

Locates the fully qualified class name of a factory capable of constructing an instance of

componentType

. Typically this is a factory annotated with DefaultFactoryFor.

Parameters:

componentType - component to create

Returns:

a factory, or null if not found.

initialize

public static void initialize(Iterable<ModuleMetadataFileFinder> moduleMetadataFiles,
                              ClassLoader cl)

Initializes this repository. The Iterable passed in should contain all ModuleMetadataFileFinder instances for all loaded Infinispan modules. Note that the core module is always loaded and need not be contained in this iterable.

Parameters:

moduleMetadataFiles - file finders to iterate through and load into the repository
