Method Detail

autowireProperties

java.lang.Object autowireProperties(java.lang.Object target,
                                    java.lang.String[] propertyNames)

Autowires the properties of target defined in propertyNames. All available strategies are tried until one strategy succeeds.

Parameters:

target - the target object whose properties should be wired

propertyNames - the properties to wire

Returns:

the wired target object

autowireProperties

java.lang.Object autowireProperties(java.lang.Object target)

Autowires all writable properties of target. All available strategies are tried until one strategy succeeds.

Parameters:

target - the target object whose properties should be wired

Returns:

the wired target object

autowireProperties

java.lang.Object autowireProperties(java.lang.String strategy,
                                    java.lang.Object target,
                                    java.lang.String[] propertyNames)

Autowires the properties of target defined in propertyNames using a certain strategy.

Parameters:

strategy - name of the strategy to be used. Standard strategies are defined in AutowiringStrategy

target - the target object whose properties should be wired

propertyNames - the properties to wire

Returns:

the wired target object

autowireProperties

java.lang.Object autowireProperties(java.lang.String strategy,
                                    java.lang.Object target)

Autowires all writable properties of target using a certain strategy.

Parameters:

strategy - name of the strategy to be used. Standard strategies are defined in AutowiringStrategy

target - the target object whose properties should be wired

Returns:

the wired target object
