Method Detail

createBean

public Object createBean(Class beanClass,
                         BeanDeclaration data,
                         Object param)
                  throws Exception

Creates an instance of a bean class. This implementation expects that the passed in bean declaration is a declaration for a configuration. It will determine the responsible configuration provider and delegate the call to this instance. If creation of the configuration fails and the optional attribute is set, the exception will be ignored. If the forceCreate attribute is set, too, the provider is asked to create an empty configuration. A return value of null means that no configuration could be created.

Specified by:

createBean in interface BeanFactory

Parameters:

beanClass - the bean class (will be ignored)

data - the declaration

param - an additional parameter (will be ignored)

the newly created configuration

Throws:

Exception - if an error occurs
