Field Details

DEFAULT

static final ApplicationContextFactory DEFAULT

A default ApplicationContextFactory implementation that will create an appropriate context for the WebApplicationType.

Method Details

getEnvironmentType

default Class<? extends ConfigurableEnvironment> getEnvironmentType(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Return the Environment type expected to be set on the created application context. The result of this method can be used to convert an existing environment instance to the correct type.

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

the expected application context type or null to use the default

Since:

2.6.14

createEnvironment

default ConfigurableEnvironment createEnvironment(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Create a new Environment to be set on the created application context. The result of this method must match the type returned by getEnvironmentType(WebApplicationType).

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

an environment instance or null to use the default

Since:

2.6.14

create

ConfigurableApplicationContext create(WebApplicationType webApplicationType)

Creates the application context for a SpringApplication, respecting the given webApplicationType.

Parameters:

webApplicationType - the web application type

Returns:

the newly created application context

ofContextClass

static ApplicationContextFactory ofContextClass(Class<? extends ConfigurableApplicationContext> contextClass)

Creates an ApplicationContextFactory that will create contexts by instantiating the given contextClass through its primary constructor.

Parameters:

contextClass - the context class

Returns:

the factory that will instantiate the context class

of

static ApplicationContextFactory of(Supplier<ConfigurableApplicationContext> supplier)
