Constructor Detail

InjectionMetadata

public InjectionMetadata(Class<?> targetClass,
                         Collection<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement> elements)

Create a new InjectionMetadata instance.

Preferably use forElements(java.util.Collection<org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement>, java.lang.Class<?>) for reusing the EMPTY instance in case of no elements.

Parameters:

targetClass - the target class

elements - the associated elements to inject

See Also:

forElements(java.util.Collection<org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement>, java.lang.Class<?>)

Method Detail

needsRefresh

protected boolean needsRefresh(Class<?> clazz)

Determine whether this metadata instance needs to be refreshed.

Parameters:

clazz - the current target class

Returns:

true indicating a refresh, false otherwise

Since:

5.2.4

checkConfigMembers

public void checkConfigMembers(RootBeanDefinition beanDefinition)

inject

public void inject(Object target,
                   @Nullable
                   String beanName,
                   @Nullable
                   PropertyValues pvs)
            throws Throwable

Throws:

Throwable

clear

public void clear(@Nullable
                  PropertyValues pvs)

Clear property skipping for the contained elements.

Since:

3.2.13

forElements

public static InjectionMetadata forElements(Collection<InjectionMetadata.InjectedElement> elements,
                                            Class<?> clazz)

Return an InjectionMetadata instance, possibly for empty elements.

Parameters:

elements - the elements to inject (possibly empty)

clazz - the target class

Returns:

a new InjectionMetadata(Class, Collection) instance

Since:

5.2

needsRefresh

public static boolean needsRefresh(@Nullable
                                   InjectionMetadata metadata,
                                   Class<?> clazz)

Check whether the given injection metadata needs to be refreshed.

Parameters:

metadata - the existing metadata instance

clazz - the current target class

Returns:

true indicating a refresh, false otherwise
