Method Detail

getFactory

public BeanFactory getFactory()

Description copied from interface: BeanFactoryReference

Returns the BeanFactory instance held by this reference

Specified by:

getFactory in interface BeanFactoryReference

release

public void release()

Description copied from interface: BeanFactoryReference

Indicate that the BeanFactory instance referred to by this object is not needed any longer by the client code which obtained the ref object. Depending on the actual implementation of BeanFactoryLocator, and the actual type of BeanFactory, this may possibly not actually do anything; alternately in the case of a 'closeable' BeanFactory or derived class (such as ApplicationContext) may 'close' it, or may 'close' it once no more references remain.

In an EJB usage scenario this would normally be called from ejbRemove and ejbPassivate.

Specified by:

release in interface BeanFactoryReference
