Class AnnotationConfigContextLoader

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractContextLoader

org.springframework.test.context.support.AbstractGenericContextLoader

org.springframework.test.context.support.AnnotationConfigContextLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContextLoader, SmartContextLoader

public class AnnotationConfigContextLoader
extends AbstractGenericContextLoader

Concrete implementation of AbstractGenericContextLoader that loads bean definitions from annotated classes.

See the Javadoc for @ContextConfiguration for a definition of annotated class.

Note: AnnotationConfigContextLoader supports annotated classes rather than the String-based resource locations defined by the legacy ContextLoader API. Thus, although AnnotationConfigContextLoader extends AbstractGenericContextLoader, AnnotationConfigContextLoader does not support any String-based methods defined by AbstractContextLoader or AbstractGenericContextLoader. Consequently, AnnotationConfigContextLoader should chiefly be considered a SmartContextLoader rather than a ContextLoader.

Since:

3.1

Method Detail

processContextConfiguration

public void processContextConfiguration(ContextConfigurationAttributes configAttributes)

Process annotated classes in the supplied ContextConfigurationAttributes.

If the annotated classes are null or empty and AbstractContextLoader.isGenerateDefaultLocations() returns true, this SmartContextLoader will attempt to detect default configuration classes. If defaults are detected they will be set in the supplied configuration attributes. Otherwise, properties in the supplied configuration attributes will not be modified.

Specified by:

processContextConfiguration in interface SmartContextLoader

Overrides:

processContextConfiguration in class AbstractContextLoader

Parameters:

configAttributes - the context configuration attributes to process

See Also:

SmartContextLoader.processContextConfiguration(ContextConfigurationAttributes), AbstractContextLoader.isGenerateDefaultLocations(), detectDefaultConfigurationClasses(Class)

detectDefaultConfigurationClasses

protected java.lang.Class<?>[] detectDefaultConfigurationClasses(java.lang.Class<?> declaringClass)

Detect the default configuration classes for the supplied test class.

The default implementation simply delegates to AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils.detectDefaultConfigurationClasses(Class).

Parameters:

declaringClass - the test class that declared @ContextConfiguration

Returns:

an array of default configuration classes, potentially empty but never null

See Also:

AnnotationConfigContextLoaderUtils

modifyLocations

protected java.lang.String[] modifyLocations(java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                                             java.lang.String... locations)

AnnotationConfigContextLoader should be used as a SmartContextLoader, not as a legacy ContextLoader. Consequently, this method is not supported.

Overrides:

modifyLocations in class AbstractContextLoader

Parameters:

clazz - the class with which the locations are associated

locations - the resource locations to be modified

Returns:

an array of modified application context resource locations

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - in this implementation

See Also:

AbstractContextLoader.modifyLocations(java.lang.Class<?>, java.lang.String...)

generateDefaultLocations

protected java.lang.String[] generateDefaultLocations(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

AnnotationConfigContextLoader should be used as a SmartContextLoader, not as a legacy ContextLoader. Consequently, this method is not supported.

Overrides:

generateDefaultLocations in class AbstractContextLoader

Parameters:

clazz - the class for which the default locations are to be generated

Returns:

an array of default application context resource locations

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - in this implementation

See Also:

AbstractContextLoader.generateDefaultLocations(java.lang.Class<?>)

getResourceSuffix

protected java.lang.String getResourceSuffix()

AnnotationConfigContextLoader should be used as a SmartContextLoader, not as a legacy ContextLoader. Consequently, this method is not supported.

Specified by:

getResourceSuffix in class AbstractContextLoader

Returns:

the resource suffix; never null or empty

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - in this implementation

See Also:

AbstractContextLoader.getResourceSuffix()

validateMergedContextConfiguration

protected void validateMergedContextConfiguration(MergedContextConfiguration mergedConfig)

Ensure that the supplied MergedContextConfiguration does not contain locations.

Overrides:

validateMergedContextConfiguration in class AbstractGenericContextLoader

Parameters:

mergedConfig - the merged configuration to validate

Since:

4.0.4

See Also:

AbstractGenericContextLoader.validateMergedContextConfiguration(org.springframework.test.context.MergedContextConfiguration)

loadBeanDefinitions

protected void loadBeanDefinitions(GenericApplicationContext context,
                                   MergedContextConfiguration mergedConfig)

Register classes in the supplied context from the classes in the supplied MergedContextConfiguration.

Each class must represent an annotated class. An AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader is used to register the appropriate bean definitions.

Note that this method does not call createBeanDefinitionReader(org.springframework.context.support.GenericApplicationContext) since AnnotatedBeanDefinitionReader is not an instance of BeanDefinitionReader.

Overrides:

loadBeanDefinitions in class AbstractGenericContextLoader

Parameters:

context - the context in which the annotated classes should be registered

mergedConfig - the merged configuration from which the classes should be retrieved

See Also:

AbstractGenericContextLoader.loadBeanDefinitions(org.springframework.context.support.GenericApplicationContext, org.springframework.test.context.MergedContextConfiguration)

createBeanDefinitionReader

protected BeanDefinitionReader createBeanDefinitionReader(GenericApplicationContext context)

AnnotationConfigContextLoader should be used as a SmartContextLoader, not as a legacy ContextLoader. Consequently, this method is not supported.

Specified by:

createBeanDefinitionReader in class AbstractGenericContextLoader

Parameters:

context - the context for which the BeanDefinitionReader should be created

Returns:

a BeanDefinitionReader for the supplied context

Throws:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - in this implementation
