Package javax.enterprise.inject.spi

Interface BeforeBeanDiscovery

public interface BeforeBeanDiscovery

This event type is thrown by the container before the bean discovery process begins. If any observer method of the BeforeBeanDiscovery event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition error by the container.

Method Details

addQualifier

void addQualifier(Class<? extends Annotation> qualifier)

Declares an annotation type as a Qualifier qualifier type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it.

Parameters:

qualifier - The annotation to treat as a qualifier

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

addQualifier

void addQualifier(AnnotatedType<? extends Annotation> qualifier)

Declares an annotation type as a Qualifier qualifier type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it.

Parameters:

qualifier - The annotation to treat as a qualifier

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

1.1

addScope

void addScope(Class<? extends Annotation> scopeType,
 boolean normal,
 boolean passivating)

Declares an annotation type as a scope type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a scope type without adding the NormalScope or Scope annotations to it. You can also use this method to override an existing normal scope definition.

Parameters:

scopeType - The annotation type to treat as a scope type

normal - Indicates if the scope is normal

passivating - Indicates if the scope is passivation capable

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

• AfterBeanDiscovery.addContext(javax.enterprise.context.spi.Context)

addStereotype

void addStereotype(Class<? extends Annotation> stereotype,
 Annotation... stereotypeDef)

Declares an annotation type as a stereotype, and specifies its meta-annotations.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a stereotype without adding Stereotype to it. You can also use this method to override an existing stereotype definition.

Parameters:

stereotype - The annotation type to treat as a stereotype

stereotypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the stereotype

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

addInterceptorBinding

void addInterceptorBinding(AnnotatedType<? extends Annotation> bindingType)

Declares an annotation type as an interceptor binding type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it.

Parameters:

bindingType - The annotation type to treat as an interceptor binding type

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

addInterceptorBinding

void addInterceptorBinding(Class<? extends Annotation> bindingType,
 Annotation... bindingTypeDef)

Declares an annotation type as an interceptor binding type, and specifies its meta-annotations.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it.

Parameters:

bindingType - The annotation type to treat as an interceptor binding type

bindingTypeDef - An optional list of annotations defining the interceptor

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

1.1

addAnnotatedType

void addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType<?> type)

Adds a given AnnotatedType to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery.

This method is deprecated from CDI 1.1 and addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType, String) should be used instead.

Parameters:

type - The AnnotatedType to add for later scanning

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

addAnnotatedType

void addAnnotatedType(AnnotatedType<?> type,
 String id)

Adds a given AnnotatedType to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery.

Thanks to the id parameter, this method allows multiple annotated types, based on the same underlying type, to be defined. AnnotatedTypes discovered by the container use the fully qualified class name of AnnotatedType.getJavaClass() to identify the type.

AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedType(Class, String) and AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedTypes(Class) allows annotated types to be obtained by identifier.

Parameters:

type - The AnnotatedType to add for later scanning

id - the identifier used to distinguish this AnnotatedType from an other one based on the same underlying type

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

1.1

addAnnotatedType

<T> AnnotatedTypeConfigurator<T> addAnnotatedType(Class<T> type,
 String id)

Obtains a new AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure a new AnnotatedType and add it to the set of types which will be scanned during bean discovery at the end of the observer invocation

Thanks to the id parameter, this method allows multiple annotated types, based on the same underlying type, to be defined with a builder. AnnotatedTypes discovered by the container use the fully qualified class name of AnnotatedType.getJavaClass() to identify the type.

AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedType(Class, String) and AfterBeanDiscovery.getAnnotatedTypes(Class) allows annotated types to be obtained by identifier.

Each call returns a new AnnotatedTypeConfigurator

Parameters:

type - class used to initialized the type and annotations on the AnnotatedTypeConfigurator

id - the identifier used to distinguish this AnnotatedType from an other one based on the same underlying type

Returns:

a non reusable AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure the new AnnotatedType

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

2.0

configureQualifier

<T extends Annotation> AnnotatedTypeConfigurator<T> configureQualifier(Class<T> qualifier)

Obtains a new AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure a new AnnotatedType and declares it as a Qualifier qualifier type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation a qualifier without adding Qualifier to it and need to easily add other annotations (like Nonbinding on its members.

Parameters:

qualifier - The annotation class used to initialized the configurator

Returns:

a non reusable AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure the qualifier

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

2.0

configureInterceptorBinding

<T extends Annotation> AnnotatedTypeConfigurator<T> configureInterceptorBinding(Class<T> bindingType)

Obtains a new AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure a new AnnotatedType and declares it as an interceptor binding type.

This is only required if you wish to make an annotation an interceptor binding type without adding InterceptorBinding to it and need to easily add other annotations (like Nonbinding on its members.

Parameters:

bindingType - The annotation class used to initialized the configurator

Returns:

a non reusable AnnotatedTypeConfigurator to configure the interceptor binding

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

Since:

2.0
