ServletContextFactoryBean (Spring Framework) - Spring Framework 1.2.9 API 文档英文版


org.springframework.web.context.support
Class ServletContextFactoryBean

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextFactoryBean
All Implemented Interfaces:
FactoryBean, ServletContextAware

public class ServletContextFactoryBean
extends Object
implements FactoryBean, ServletContextAware

Simple FactoryBean that exposes the ServletContext for bean references. Can be used as alternative to implementing ServletContextAware, allowing to pass in the ServletContext to a constructor argument or any custom bean property.

Note that there's a special FactoryBean for exposing a specific ServletContext attribute, named ServletContextAttributeFactoryBean. So if all you need from the ServletContext is access to a specific attribute, ServletContextAttributeFactoryBean allows you to expose a constructor argument or bean property of the attribute type, which is a preferable to a dependency on the full ServletContext.

Since:
1.1.4

Constructor Detail

ServletContextFactoryBean

public ServletContextFactoryBean()
Method Detail

setServletContext

public void setServletContext(ServletContext servletContext)
Description copied from interface: ServletContextAware
Set the ServletContext that this object runs in.

Invoked after population of normal bean properties but before an init callback like InitializingBean's afterPropertiesSet or a custom init-method. Invoked after ApplicationContextAware's setApplicationContext.

Specified by:
setServletContext in interface ServletContextAware
Parameters:
servletContext - ServletContext object to be used by this object

getObject

public Object getObject()
Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
Return an instance (possibly shared or independent) of the object managed by this factory. As with a BeanFactory, this allows support for both the Singleton and Prototype design pattern.

If this method returns null, the factory will consider the FactoryBean as not fully initialized and throw a corresponding FactoryBeanNotInitializedException.

Specified by:
getObject in interface FactoryBean
Returns:
an instance of the bean (should not be null; a null value will be considered as an indication of incomplete initialization)
See Also:
FactoryBeanNotInitializedException

getObjectType

public Class getObjectType()
Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
Return the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known in advance. This allows to check for specific types of beans without instantiating objects, for example on autowiring.

For a singleton, this should try to avoid singleton creation as far as possible; it should rather estimate the type in advance. For prototypes, returning a meaningful type here is advisable too.

This method can be called before this FactoryBean has been fully initialized. It must not rely on state created during initialization; of course, it can still use such state if available.

NOTE: Autowiring will simply ignore FactoryBeans that return null here. Therefore it is highly recommended to implement this method properly, using the current state of the FactoryBean.

Specified by:
getObjectType in interface FactoryBean
Returns:
the type of object that this FactoryBean creates, or null if not known at the time of the call

ListableBeanFactory.getBeansOfType(java.lang.Class)

isSingleton

public boolean isSingleton()
Description copied from interface: FactoryBean
Is the bean managed by this factory a singleton or a prototype? That is, will getObject() always return the same object (a reference that can be cached)?

NOTE: If a FactoryBean indicates to hold a singleton object, the object returned from getObject() might get cached by the owning BeanFactory. Hence, do not return true unless the FactoryBean always exposes the same reference.

The singleton status of the FactoryBean itself will generally be provided by the owning BeanFactory; usually, it has to be defined as singleton there.

Specified by:
isSingleton in interface FactoryBean
Returns:
if this bean is a singleton
