Interface Configuration<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:
ValidatingConfigurationWrapper

public interface Configuration<T>
Object passed into a service contributor method that allows the method provide contributed values to the service's configuration. A service can collect contributions in three different ways:
  • As an un-ordered collection of values
  • As an ordered list of values (where each value has a unique id, pre-requisites and post-requisites)
  • As a map of keys and values
This implementation is used for un-ordered configuration data. The service defines the type of contribution, in terms of a base class or service interface. Contributions must be compatible with the type.

      Parameters:
      object - to add to the service's configuration
    • addInstance

      void addInstance(Class<? extends T> clazz)
      Automatically instantiates an instance of the class, with dependencies injected, and adds it to the configuration. When the configuration type is an interface and the class to be contributed is a local file, then a reloadable proxy for the class will be created and contributed.
      Parameters:
      clazz - what class to instantiate
