Method Detail

getManagedObjectClass

java.lang.Class<? extends ManagedObject> getManagedObjectClass()

Obtains the Class of the ManagedObject instances from the ManagedObjectSource.

This is to enable coupled configuration rather than specifying in a possibly unrelated configuration file.

Note this does not prevent the configuration passed to the ManagedObjectSource.init(ManagedObjectSourceContext) method to specify this. Class must however be the same given the same configuration.

Returns:

Class of the ManagedObject.

getObjectClass

java.lang.Class<?> getObjectClass()

Obtains the Class of the object returned from ManagedObject.getObject().

This is to enable coupled configuration rather than specifying in a possibly unrelated configuration file.

Note this does not prevent the configuration passed to the ManagedObjectSource.init(ManagedObjectSourceContext) method to specify this. Class must however be the same given the same configuration.

Returns:

The Class of the object being managed by the ManagedObject.

getDependencyMetaData

ManagedObjectDependencyMetaData<O>[] getDependencyMetaData()

Obtains the list of ManagedObjectDependencyMetaData instances should this ManagedObjectSource provide a CoordinatingManagedObject.

Returns:

Meta-data of the required dependencies for this ManagedObjectSource.

getFlowMetaData

ManagedObjectFlowMetaData<F>[] getFlowMetaData()

Obtains the list of ManagedObjectFlowMetaData instances should this ManagedObjectSource require instigating a Flow.

Returns:

Meta-data of Flow instances instigated by this ManagedObjectSource.

getExecutionMetaData

ManagedObjectExecutionMetaData[] getExecutionMetaData()

Obtains the list of ManagedObjectExecutionMetaData instances should the ManagedObjectSource require ExecutionStrategy.

Returns:

Meta-data of ExecutionStrategy instances required by this ManagedObjectSource.

getExtensionInterfacesMetaData

ManagedObjectExtensionMetaData<?>[] getExtensionInterfacesMetaData()

Obtains the meta-data regarding the extension interfaces that this ManagedObject implements.

Returns:

Meta-data regarding the extension interfaces that this ManagedObject implements.
