public class ScriptFactoryPostProcessor
extends InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter
implements BeanClassLoaderAware, BeanFactoryAware, ResourceLoaderAware, DisposableBean, Ordered

BeanPostProcessor that handles ScriptFactory definitions, replacing each factory with the actual scripted Java object generated by it.

This is similar to the FactoryBean mechanism, but is specifically tailored for scripts and not built into Spring's core container itself but rather implemented as an extension.

NOTE: The most important characteristic of this post-processor is that constructor arguments are applied to the ScriptFactory instance while bean property values are applied to the generated scripted object. Typically, constructor arguments include a script source locator and potentially script interfaces, while bean property values include references and config values to inject into the scripted object itself.

The following ScriptFactoryPostProcessor will automatically be applied to the two ScriptFactory definitions below. At runtime, the actual scripted objects will be exposed for "bshMessenger" and "groovyMessenger", rather than the ScriptFactory instances. Both of those are supposed to be castable to the example's Messenger interfaces here.

<bean class="org.springframework.scripting.support.ScriptFactoryPostProcessor"/>

 <bean id="bshMessenger" class="org.springframework.scripting.bsh.BshScriptFactory">
   <constructor-arg value="classpath:mypackage/Messenger.bsh"/>
   <constructor-arg value="mypackage.Messenger"/>
   <property name="message" value="Hello World!"/>
 </bean>

 <bean id="groovyMessenger" class="org.springframework.scripting.bsh.GroovyScriptFactory">
   <constructor-arg value="classpath:mypackage/Messenger.groovy"/>
   <property name="message" value="Hello World!"/>
 </bean>

NOTE: Please note that the above excerpt from a Spring XML bean definition file uses just the <bean/>-style syntax (in an effort to illustrate using the ScriptFactoryPostProcessor itself). In reality, you would never create a <bean/> definition for a ScriptFactoryPostProcessor explicitly; rather you would import the tags from the 'lang' namespace and simply create scripted beans using the tags in that namespace... as part of doing so, a ScriptFactoryPostProcessor will implicitly be created for you.

The Spring reference documentation contains numerous examples of using tags in the 'lang' namespace; by way of an example, find below a Groovy-backed bean defined using the 'lang:groovy' tag.

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:lang="http://www.springframework.org/schema/lang">

   <!-- this is the bean definition for the Groovy-backed Messenger implementation -->
   <lang:groovy id="messenger" script-source="classpath:Messenger.groovy">
     <lang:property name="message" value="I Can Do The Frug" />
   </lang:groovy>

   <!-- an otherwise normal bean that will be injected by the Groovy-backed Messenger -->
   <bean id="bookingService" class="x.y.DefaultBookingService">
     <property name="messenger" ref="messenger" />
   </bean>

 </beans>

Constructor Detail

ScriptFactoryPostProcessor

public ScriptFactoryPostProcessor()
Method Detail

setDefaultRefreshCheckDelay

public void setDefaultRefreshCheckDelay(long defaultRefreshCheckDelay)
Set the delay between refresh checks, in milliseconds. Default is -1, indicating no refresh checks at all.

Note that an actual refresh will only happen when the ScriptSource indicates that it has been modified.

See Also:
ScriptSource.isModified()

setDefaultProxyTargetClass

public void setDefaultProxyTargetClass(boolean defaultProxyTargetClass)
Flag to signal that refreshable proxies should be created to proxy the target class not its interfaces.

Parameters:
defaultProxyTargetClass - the flag value to set

setBeanClassLoader

public void setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)
Description copied from interface: BeanClassLoaderAware
Callback that supplies the bean class loader to a bean instance.

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as InitializingBean's InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() method or a custom init-method.

Specified by:
setBeanClassLoader in interface BeanClassLoaderAware
Parameters:
classLoader - the owning class loader; may be null in which case a default ClassLoader must be used, for example the ClassLoader obtained via ClassUtils.getDefaultClassLoader()

setBeanFactory

public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory)
Description copied from interface: BeanFactoryAware
Callback that supplies the owning factory to a bean instance.

Invoked after the population of normal bean properties but before an initialization callback such as InitializingBean.afterPropertiesSet() or a custom init-method.

Specified by:
setBeanFactory in interface BeanFactoryAware
Parameters:
beanFactory - owning BeanFactory (never null). The bean can immediately call methods on the factory.
See Also:
BeanInitializationException

setResourceLoader

public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader)
Description copied from interface: ResourceLoaderAware
Set the ResourceLoader that this object runs in.

This might be a ResourcePatternResolver, which can be checked through instanceof ResourcePatternResolver. See also the ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver method.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked before ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:
setResourceLoader in interface ResourceLoaderAware
Parameters:
resourceLoader - ResourceLoader object to be used by this object
See Also:
ResourcePatternResolver, ResourcePatternUtils.getResourcePatternResolver(org.springframework.core.io.ResourceLoader)

getOrder

public int getOrder()
Description copied from interface: Ordered
Return the order value of this object, with a higher value meaning greater in terms of sorting.

Normally starting with 0, with Integer.MAX_VALUE indicating the greatest value. Same order values will result in arbitrary positions for the affected objects.

Higher values can be interpreted as lower priority. As a consequence, the object with the lowest value has highest priority (somewhat analogous to Servlet "load-on-startup" values).

Specified by:
getOrder in interface Ordered
Returns:
the order value

predictBeanType

public Class predictBeanType(Class beanClass,
                             String beanName)
Description copied from interface: SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor
Predict the type of the bean to be eventually returned from this processor's InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor.postProcessBeforeInstantiation(java.lang.Class, java.lang.String) callback.

Specified by:
predictBeanType in interface SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor
Overrides:
predictBeanType in class InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter
Parameters:
beanClass - the raw class of the bean
beanName - the name of the bean
Returns:
the type of the bean, or null if not predictable

postProcessBeforeInstantiation

public Object postProcessBeforeInstantiation(Class beanClass,
                                             String beanName)
Description copied from interface: InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor
Apply this BeanPostProcessor before the target bean gets instantiated. The returned bean object may be a proxy to use instead of the target bean, effectively suppressing default instantiation of the target bean.

If a non-null object is returned by this method, the bean creation process will be short-circuited. The only further processing applied is the BeanPostProcessor.postProcessAfterInitialization(java.lang.Object, java.lang.String) callback from the configured BeanPostProcessors.

This callback will only be applied to bean definitions with a bean class. In particular, it will not be applied to beans with a "factory-method".

Post-processors may implement the extended SmartInstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor interface in order to predict the type of the bean object that they are going to return here.

Specified by:
postProcessBeforeInstantiation in interface InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessor
Overrides:
postProcessBeforeInstantiation in class InstantiationAwareBeanPostProcessorAdapter
Parameters:
beanClass - the class of the bean to be instantiated
beanName - the name of the bean
Returns:
the bean object to expose instead of a default instance of the target bean, or null to proceed with default instantiation
See Also:
AbstractBeanDefinition.hasBeanClass(), AbstractBeanDefinition.getFactoryMethodName()

protected void prepareScriptBeans(BeanDefinition bd,
                                  String scriptFactoryBeanName,
                                  String scriptedObjectBeanName)
Prepare the script beans in the internal BeanFactory that this post-processor uses. Each original bean definition will be split into a ScriptFactory definition and a scripted object definition.

Parameters:
bd - the original bean definition in the main BeanFactory
scriptFactoryBeanName - the name of the internal ScriptFactory bean
scriptedObjectBeanName - the name of the internal scripted object bean

resolveRefreshCheckDelay

protected long resolveRefreshCheckDelay(BeanDefinition beanDefinition)
Get the refresh check delay for the given ScriptFactory BeanDefinition. If the BeanDefinition has a metadata attribute under the key REFRESH_CHECK_DELAY_ATTRIBUTE which is a valid Number type, then this value is used. Otherwise, the the defaultRefreshCheckDelay value is used.

Parameters:
beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition to check
Returns:
the refresh check delay

resolveProxyTargetClass

protected boolean resolveProxyTargetClass(BeanDefinition beanDefinition)

createScriptFactoryBeanDefinition

protected BeanDefinition createScriptFactoryBeanDefinition(BeanDefinition bd)

Parameters:
bd - the full script bean definition
Returns:
the extracted ScriptFactory bean definition
See Also:
ScriptFactory

getScriptSource

                                             ResourceLoader resourceLoader)
Convert the given script source locator to a ScriptSource instance.

By default, supported locators are Spring resource locations (such as "file:C:/myScript.bsh" or "classpath:myPackage/myScript.bsh") and inline scripts ("inline:myScriptText...").

Parameters:
beanName - the name of the scripted bean
scriptSourceLocator - the script source locator
