Constructor Detail

FlowModelFlowBuilder

public FlowModelFlowBuilder(FlowModelHolder flowModelHolder)

Creates a flow builder that can build a Flow from a FlowModel.

Parameters:

flowModelHolder - the flow model holder

Method Detail

doInit

protected void doInit()
               throws FlowBuilderException

Initialize this builder. This could cause the builder to open a stream to an externalized resource representing the flow definition, for example.

Overrides:

doInit in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

createFlow

protected Flow createFlow()

Description copied from class: AbstractFlowBuilder

Factory method that initially creates the flow implementation during flow builder initialization. Simply delegates to the configured flow artifact factory by default.

Overrides:

createFlow in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Returns:

the flow instance, initially created but not yet built

buildVariables

public void buildVariables()
                    throws FlowBuilderException

Builds any variables initialized by the flow when it starts.

Specified by:

buildVariables in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildVariables in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildInputMapper

public void buildInputMapper()
                      throws FlowBuilderException

Builds the input mapper responsible for mapping flow input on start.

Specified by:

buildInputMapper in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildInputMapper in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildStartActions

public void buildStartActions()
                       throws FlowBuilderException

Builds any start actions to execute when the flow starts.

Specified by:

buildStartActions in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildStartActions in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildStates

public void buildStates()
                 throws FlowBuilderException

Builds the states of the flow.

Specified by:

buildStates in interface FlowBuilder

Specified by:

buildStates in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildGlobalTransitions

public void buildGlobalTransitions()
                            throws FlowBuilderException

Builds any transitions shared by all states of the flow.

Specified by:

buildGlobalTransitions in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildGlobalTransitions in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildEndActions

public void buildEndActions()
                     throws FlowBuilderException

Builds any end actions to execute when the flow ends.

Specified by:

buildEndActions in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildEndActions in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildOutputMapper

public void buildOutputMapper()
                       throws FlowBuilderException

Builds the output mapper responsible for mapping flow output on end.

Specified by:

buildOutputMapper in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildOutputMapper in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building the flow

buildExceptionHandlers

public void buildExceptionHandlers()
                            throws FlowBuilderException

Creates and adds all exception handlers to the flow built by this builder.

Specified by:

buildExceptionHandlers in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

buildExceptionHandlers in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building this flow

hasFlowChanged

public boolean hasFlowChanged()

Description copied from interface: FlowBuilder

As the underlying flow managed by this builder changed since the last build occurred?

Specified by:

hasFlowChanged in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

hasFlowChanged in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Returns:

true if changed, false if not

getFlowResourceString

public java.lang.String getFlowResourceString()

Description copied from interface: FlowBuilder

Returns a string describing the location of the flow resource; the logical location where the source code can be found. Used for informational purposes.

Specified by:

getFlowResourceString in interface FlowBuilder

Overrides:

getFlowResourceString in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Returns:

the flow resource string

doDispose

protected void doDispose()
                  throws FlowBuilderException

Shutdown the builder, releasing any resources it holds. A new flow construction process should start with another call to the AbstractFlowBuilder.init(FlowBuilderContext) method.

Overrides:

doDispose in class AbstractFlowBuilder

Throws:

FlowBuilderException - an exception occurred building this flow

getFlowModel

protected FlowModel getFlowModel()

getLocalContext

protected org.springframework.webflow.engine.builder.model.LocalFlowBuilderContext getLocalContext()

setLocalContext

protected void setLocalContext(org.springframework.webflow.engine.builder.model.LocalFlowBuilderContext localFlowBuilderContext)

registerFlowBeans

protected void registerFlowBeans(org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableBeanFactory beanFactory)

Register beans in the bean factory local to the flow definition being built.

Subclasses may override this method to customize the population of the bean factory local to the flow definition being built; for example, to register mock implementations of services in a test environment.

Parameters:

beanFactory - the bean factory; register local beans with it using SingletonBeanRegistry.registerSingleton(String, Object)

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
