Method Detail

getInterfaceClassName

java.lang.String getInterfaceClassName()

Returns:

the fully qualified class name of the service interface. This may be the name of a ordinary class or an interface.

getDefaultImplementation

ImplementationDefinition getDefaultImplementation()

Returns:

the default implementation of the service. The default is selected by ImplementationDefinition.isDefault() if multiple exist.

addImplementation

void addImplementation(ImplementationDefinition implementation)

Adds an implementation definition to the service point.

Parameters:

implementation - the implementation

Throws:

ApplicationRuntimeException - if this point is not visible from the module that defines the implementation

getImplementations

java.util.Collection getImplementations()

Returns:

the impelementations of this service point as instances of ImplementationDefinition

getInterceptors

java.util.Collection getInterceptors()

Returns:

the interceptors of this service point as instances of InterceptorDefinition

addInterceptor

void addInterceptor(InterceptorDefinition interceptor)

Adds an interceptor definition to the service point.

Parameters:

interceptor - the interceptor

Throws:

ApplicationRuntimeException - if this point is not visible from the module that defines the interceptor.
