Class ClassBinding

java.lang.Object
  org.jbpm.wire.binding.ClassBinding

All Implemented Interfaces:

Binding

public class ClassBinding
extends java.lang.Object
implements Binding

this Binding specifies a ClassDescriptor.

A Class descriptor is defined by a <class> xml element.

This element can have an attribute "name", which specifies the name of the created object in the WireContext.

This element must have an attribute "classname", which specifies the name of the class to load as an object.

Example

Consider the following class:

public class Foo { ... }

The following Xml declaration will load the class 'Foo' and store it under the name 'c' in the WireContext.

 <objects>
   <class name='c' classname='Foo' />
 </objects>

The object 'c' will be an instance of java.lang.Class<Foo>. The method c.newInstance() can for example be used to create a new instance of 'Foo'.
