Method Detail

invokeDelegateMethod

protected T invokeDelegateMethod()

Invoker the target method with arguments set by setArguments(Object[]).

Returns:

object returned by invoked method

Throws:

DynamicMethodInvocationException - if the MethodInvoker used throws exception

invokeDelegateMethodWithArgument

protected T invokeDelegateMethodWithArgument(Object object)

Invokes the target method with given argument.

Parameters:

object - argument for the target method

Returns:

object returned by target method

Throws:

DynamicMethodInvocationException - if the MethodInvoker used throws exception

invokeDelegateMethodWithArguments

protected T invokeDelegateMethodWithArguments(Object[] args)

Invokes the target method with given arguments.

Parameters:

args - arguments for the invoked method

Returns:

object returned by invoked method

Throws:

DynamicMethodInvocationException - if the MethodInvoker used throws exception

afterPropertiesSet

public void afterPropertiesSet()
                        throws Exception

Specified by:

afterPropertiesSet in interface InitializingBean

Throws:

Exception

setTargetObject

public void setTargetObject(Object targetObject)

Parameters:

targetObject - the delegate - bean id can be used to set this value in Spring configuration

setTargetMethod

public void setTargetMethod(String targetMethod)

Parameters:

targetMethod - name of the method to be invoked on setTargetObject(Object).

setArguments

public void setArguments(Object[] arguments)

Parameters:

arguments - arguments values for the { setTargetMethod(String). These will be used only when the subclass tries to invoke the target method without providing explicit argument values. If arguments are set to not-null value afterPropertiesSet() will check the values are compatible with target method's signature. In case arguments are null (not set) method signature will not be checked and it is assumed correct values will be supplied at runtime.
