Interface ProcessBeanAttributes<T>

public interface ProcessBeanAttributes<T>

Each AnnotatedType gets scanned by the CDI container and turned into initial BeanAttributes. Those BeanAttributes can be modified by observing this very ProcessBeanAttributes system event. The modified BeanAttributes will get used to construct the final Bean.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addDefinitionError(Throwable t) Adding definition error.
BeanAttributesConfigurator<T>	configureBeanAttributes()
Annotated	getAnnotated()
BeanAttributes<T>	getBeanAttributes()
void	ignoreFinalMethods() Usually having a non-static final field with any modifier other than private leads to a DeploymentException.
void	setBeanAttributes(BeanAttributes<T> beanAttributes) Use the given BeanAttributes to later create the Bean from it.
void	veto() Tell the container it should ignore this Bean.

Method Detail

getAnnotated

Annotated getAnnotated()

Returns:

the AnnotatedType for bean classes, AnnotatedMethod for producer methods and AnnotatedField for producer fields.

getBeanAttributes

BeanAttributes<T> getBeanAttributes()

Returns:

the BeanAttributes parsed from the Annotated

setBeanAttributes

void setBeanAttributes(BeanAttributes<T> beanAttributes)

Use the given BeanAttributes to later create the Bean from it.

Parameters:

beanAttributes -

veto

void veto()

Tell the container it should ignore this Bean.

addDefinitionError

void addDefinitionError(Throwable t)

Adding definition error. Container aborts processing after calling all observers.

Parameters:

t - throwable

ignoreFinalMethods

void ignoreFinalMethods()

Usually having a non-static final field with any modifier other than private leads to a DeploymentException. This is to prevent user failures as those fields cannot be proxied. In certain situations one want's to provide a CDI bean for such a class nonetheless. By invoking this method on a Bean wich such a class we can effectively prevent the container from treating this situation as a Deployment error.

configureBeanAttributes

BeanAttributesConfigurator<T> configureBeanAttributes()

Returns:

a bean attributes configurator to configure this bean's attributes. It is initialised with the BeanAttributes from the event which gets processed.
