Class ComponentLocator

java.lang.Object
  com.atlassian.sal.api.component.ComponentLocator

public abstract class ComponentLocator
extends Object

Unified interface to access components via their interface. Calling getComponent(Class) will work the same in any application, regardless of underlying dependency injection system used.

Since:

2.0

ComponentLocator

public ComponentLocator()

Method Detail

setComponentLocator

public static void setComponentLocator(ComponentLocator loc)

Sets the component locator to use. Should only be called once.

Parameters:

loc - The implementation to use

isInitialized

public static boolean isInitialized()

Returns:

True if intialized with a locator subclass

getComponent

public static <T> T getComponent(Class<T> iface)

Gets a component by its interface. Applications that don't support interface-based components will need to convert the interface name into a String

Parameters:

iface - The interface to find an implementation for

Returns:

The implementation

getComponent

public static <T> T getComponent(Class<T> iface,
                                 String componentKey)

Gets a component by its interface and its Id.

Parameters:

iface - The interface to find an implementation for

componentKey - id of the component

Returns:

The implementation

getComponentInternal

protected abstract <T> T getComponentInternal(Class<T> iface)

Gets the requested component, to be overridden for each application

Parameters:

iface - The interface to lookup

Returns:

The implementation

getComponentInternal

protected abstract <T> T getComponentInternal(Class<T> iface,
                                              String componentKey)

Gets the requested component, to be overridden for each application

Parameters:

iface - The interface to lookup

componentKey - key of the component

Returns:

The implementation

getComponents

public static <T> Collection<T> getComponents(Class<T> iface)

Gets a components by interface. Applications that don't support interface-based components will need to covert the interface name into a String

Parameters:

iface - The interface to find an implementation for

Returns:

The implementation

getComponentsInternal

protected abstract <T> Collection<T> getComponentsInternal(Class<T> iface)

convertClassToName

protected String convertClassToName(Class iface)

Converts the interface name into a String key

Parameters:

iface - The interface to convert

Returns:

The String key to use to find the implementation
