Method Summary

java.util.Set<InjectionPoint>	getInjectionPoints() Returns the set of all InjectionPoints.
T	produce(CreationalContext<T> ctx) Causes an instance to be produced via the Producer.

Method Detail

produce

T produce(CreationalContext<T> ctx)

Causes an instance to be produced via the Producer.

If the Producer represents a class, this will invoke the constructor annotated Inject if it exists, or the constructor with no parameters otherwise. If the class has interceptors, produce() is responsible for building the interceptors and decorators of the instance.

If the Producer represents a producer field or method, this will invoke the producer method on, or access the producer field of, a contextual instance of the bean that declares the producer.

Parameters:

ctx - The CreationalContext to use for the produced object

Returns:

the instance produced

dispose

void dispose(T instance)

Destroys the instance.

If the Producer represents a class, then this operation does nothing.

If the Producer represents a producer field or method, this calls the disposer method, if any, on a contextual instance of the bean that declares the disposer method or performs any additional required cleanup, if any, to destroy state associated with a resource.

Parameters:

instance - The instance to dispose

getInjectionPoints

java.util.Set<InjectionPoint> getInjectionPoints()

Returns the set of all InjectionPoints. If the Producer represents a class, then this returns returns the set of InjectionPoint objects representing all injected fields, bean constructor parameters and initializer method parameters. For a producer method, this returns the set of InjectionPoint objects representing all parameters of the producer method.

Returns:

the set of all injection points for the producer
