Constructor Summary

BeanConfig(BeanConfig config)
Copies a bean configuration.

BeanConfig(String className, Properties properties)
Creates a bean configuration.

Method Summary

ClassLoader	getClassLoader() Returns the current ClassLoader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.
String	getClassName() Returns the class name of the configured bean.
static ClassLoader	getDefaultClassLoader() Returns the current ClassLoader used for new instances of this class as the loader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.
Properties	getParameters() Returns the initial properties of the configured bean.
Object	newInstance() Creates a new instance of the configured bean class.
void	setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader) Sets the ClassLoader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.

Constructor Detail

BeanConfig

public BeanConfig(String className,
                  Properties properties)

Creates a bean configuration. Note that a copy of the given bean properties is stored as a part of the created configuration object. Thus the caller is free to modify the given properties once the configuration object has been created.

Parameters:

className - class name of the bean

properties - initial properties of the bean

BeanConfig

public BeanConfig(BeanConfig config)

Copies a bean configuration.

Parameters:

config - the configuration to be copied

Method Detail

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Returns the class name of the configured bean.

Returns:

class name of the bean

getParameters

public Properties getParameters()

Returns the initial properties of the configured bean.

Returns:

initial properties of the bean

newInstance

public Object newInstance()
                   throws ConfigurationException

Creates a new instance of the configured bean class.

Returns:

new bean instance

Throws:

ConfigurationException - on bean configuration errors

getClassLoader

public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Returns the current ClassLoader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.

See Also:

newInstance(), setClassLoader(ClassLoader), getDefaultClassLoader(), setDefaultClassLoader(ClassLoader)

setClassLoader

public void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Sets the ClassLoader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to set on this instance. If this is null the system class loader will be used, which may lead to unexpected class loading failures.

See Also:

newInstance(), getClassLoader(), getDefaultClassLoader(), setDefaultClassLoader(ClassLoader)

getDefaultClassLoader

public static ClassLoader getDefaultClassLoader()

Returns the current ClassLoader used for new instances of this class as the loader used to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.

See Also:

newInstance(), getClassLoader(), setClassLoader(ClassLoader), setDefaultClassLoader(ClassLoader)

setDefaultClassLoader

public static void setDefaultClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)

Sets the ClassLoader used for new instances of this class as the loader to instantiate objects in the newInstance() method.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to set as the default class loader. If this is null the system class loader will be used, which may lead to unexpected class loading failures.
