Method Detail

addArgumentValues

public void addArgumentValues(ConstructorArgumentValues other)

Copy all given argument values into this object.

addIndexedArgumentValue

public void addIndexedArgumentValue(int index,
                                    Object value)

Add argument value for the given index in the constructor argument list.

Parameters:

index - the index in the constructor argument list

value - the argument value

addIndexedArgumentValue

public void addIndexedArgumentValue(int index,
                                    Object value,
                                    String type)

Add argument value for the given index in the constructor argument list.

Parameters:

index - the index in the constructor argument list

value - the argument value

getIndexedArgumentValue

public ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder getIndexedArgumentValue(int index,
                                                                     Class requiredType)

Get argument value for the given index in the constructor argument list.

Parameters:

index - the index in the constructor argument list

Returns:

the ValueHolder for the argument, or null if none set

getIndexedArgumentValues

public Map getIndexedArgumentValues()

Return the map of indexed argument values.

Returns:

Map with Integer indizes as keys and ValueHolders as values

ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder

addGenericArgumentValue

public void addGenericArgumentValue(Object value)

Add generic argument value to be matched by type.

Note: A single generic argument value will just be used once, rather than matched multiple times (as of Spring 1.1).

Parameters:

value - the argument value

addGenericArgumentValue

public void addGenericArgumentValue(Object value,
                                    String type)

Add generic argument value to be matched by type.

Note: A single generic argument value will just be used once, rather than matched multiple times (as of Spring 1.1).

Parameters:

value - the argument value

getGenericArgumentValue

public ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder getGenericArgumentValue(Class requiredType)

Look for a generic argument value that matches the given type.

Parameters:

requiredType - the type to match (can be null to find an arbitrary next generic argument value, as fallback)

Returns:

the ValueHolder for the argument, or null if none set

getGenericArgumentValue

public ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder getGenericArgumentValue(Class requiredType,
                                                                     Set usedValueHolders)

Look for the next generic argument value that matches the given type, ignoring argument values that have already been used in the current resolution process.

Parameters:

requiredType - the type to match (can be null to find an arbitrary next generic argument value, as fallback)

usedValueHolders - a Set of ValueHolder objects that have already been used in the current resolution process and should therefore not be returned again

Returns:

the ValueHolder for the argument, or null if none found

getGenericArgumentValues

public List getGenericArgumentValues()

Return the list of generic argument values.

Returns:

List of ValueHolders

ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder

getArgumentValue

public ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder getArgumentValue(int index,
                                                              Class requiredType)

Look for an argument value that either corresponds to the given index in the constructor argument list or generically matches by type.

Parameters:

index - the index in the constructor argument list

requiredType - the type to match

Returns:

the ValueHolder for the argument, or null if none set

getArgumentValue

public ConstructorArgumentValues.ValueHolder getArgumentValue(int index,
                                                              Class requiredType,
                                                              Set usedValueHolders)

Look for an argument value that either corresponds to the given index in the constructor argument list or generically matches by type.

Parameters:

index - the index in the constructor argument list

requiredType - the type to match

usedValueHolders - a Set of ValueHolder objects that have already been used in the current resolution process and should therefore not be returned again (allowing to return the next generic argument match in case of multiple generic argument values of the same type)

Returns:

the ValueHolder for the argument, or null if none set

getArgumentCount

public int getArgumentCount()

Return the number of arguments held in this instance.

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Return if this holder does not contain any argument values, neither indexed ones nor generic ones.
