Class InjectionPoint

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.beans.factory.InjectionPoint

Direct Known Subclasses:

DependencyDescriptor

public class InjectionPoint
extends Object

A simple descriptor for an injection point, pointing to a method/constructor parameter or a field. Exposed by UnsatisfiedDependencyException. Also available as an argument for factory methods, reacting to the requesting injection point for building a customized bean instance.

Since:

4.3

Constructor Detail

InjectionPoint

public InjectionPoint(MethodParameter methodParameter)

Create an injection point descriptor for a method or constructor parameter.

Parameters:

methodParameter - the MethodParameter to wrap

InjectionPoint

public InjectionPoint(Field field)

Create an injection point descriptor for a field.

Parameters:

field - the field to wrap

InjectionPoint

protected InjectionPoint(InjectionPoint original)

Copy constructor.

Parameters:

original - the original descriptor to create a copy from

InjectionPoint

protected InjectionPoint()

Just available for serialization purposes in subclasses.

Method Detail

getMethodParameter

public MethodParameter getMethodParameter()

Return the wrapped MethodParameter, if any.

Note: Either MethodParameter or Field is available.

Returns:

the MethodParameter, or null if none

getField

public Field getField()

Return the wrapped Field, if any.

Note: Either MethodParameter or Field is available.

Returns:

the Field, or null if none

getAnnotations

public Annotation[] getAnnotations()

Obtain the annotations associated with the wrapped field or method/constructor parameter.

getAnnotation

public <A extends Annotation> A getAnnotation(Class<A> annotationType)

Retrieve a field/parameter annotation of the given type, if any.

Parameters:

annotationType - the annotation type to retrieve

Returns:

the annotation instance, or null if none found

Since:

4.3.9

getDeclaredType

public Class<?> getDeclaredType()

Return the type declared by the underlying field or method/constructor parameter, indicating the injection type.

getMember

public Member getMember()

Returns the wrapped member, containing the injection point.

Returns:

the Field / Method / Constructor as Member

getAnnotatedElement

public AnnotatedElement getAnnotatedElement()

Return the wrapped annotated element.

Note: In case of a method/constructor parameter, this exposes the annotations declared on the method or constructor itself (i.e. at the method/constructor level, not at the parameter level). Use getAnnotations() to obtain parameter-level annotations in such a scenario, transparently with corresponding field annotations.

Returns:

the Field / Method / Constructor as AnnotatedElement

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
