Method Detail

resolveInitializerClasses

static java.util.Set<java.lang.Class<? extends ApplicationContextInitializer<? extends ConfigurableApplicationContext>>> resolveInitializerClasses(java.util.List<ContextConfigurationAttributes> configAttributesList)

Resolve the set of merged ApplicationContextInitializer classes for the supplied list of ContextConfigurationAttributes.

Note that the inheritInitializers flag of @ContextConfiguration will be taken into consideration. Specifically, if the inheritInitializers flag is set to true for a given level in the class hierarchy represented by the provided configuration attributes, context initializer classes defined at the given level will be merged with those defined in higher levels of the class hierarchy.

Parameters:

configAttributesList - the list of configuration attributes to process; must not be null or empty; must be ordered bottom-up (i.e., as if we were traversing up the class hierarchy)

Returns:

the set of merged context initializer classes, including those from superclasses if appropriate (never null)
