Interface AutoConfigurationImportFilter

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface AutoConfigurationImportFilter

Filter that can be registered in spring.factories to limit the auto-configuration classes considered. This interface is designed to allow fast removal of auto-configuration classes before their bytecode is even read.

An AutoConfigurationImportFilter may implement any of the following Aware interfaces, and their respective methods will be called prior to match(java.lang.String[], org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.AutoConfigurationMetadata):

• EnvironmentAware
• BeanFactoryAware
• BeanClassLoaderAware
• ResourceLoaderAware

Since:

1.5.0

Method Details

match

boolean[] match(String[] autoConfigurationClasses,
 AutoConfigurationMetadata autoConfigurationMetadata)

Apply the filter to the given auto-configuration class candidates.

Parameters:

autoConfigurationClasses - the auto-configuration classes being considered. This array may contain null elements. Implementations should not change the values in this array.

autoConfigurationMetadata - access to the meta-data generated by the auto-configure annotation processor

Returns:

a boolean array indicating which of the auto-configuration classes should be imported. The returned array must be the same size as the incoming autoConfigurationClasses parameter. Entries containing false will not be imported.
