Method Detail

get

java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String name)
              throws LocatorException

Returns a reference to the object with the given name.

Parameters:

name - of the object to return

Returns:

an instance of an object, or null if not found

Throws:

LocatorException - if there is no access to the class or the class cannot be instantiated

getNames

java.lang.String[] getNames()

Returns the list of names of references available through this Locator. Must return null if there are not any registered names.

Returns:

the list of names of references

register

void register(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.Class clazz)

Registers a class related to a name. The class is used to create an instance of the object to return in the get(String) method.

Parameters:

name - of the object to register

clazz - the Class of the object to register

registerDefault

void registerDefault(java.lang.String name,
                     java.lang.Class clazz)

register

void register(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.String description,
              java.lang.Class clazz)

Registers a class related to a name. The class is used to create an instance of the object to return in the get(String) method.

Parameters:

name - of the object to register

description - of the object to register

clazz - the Class of the object to register

registerDefault

void registerDefault(java.lang.String name,
                     java.lang.String description,
                     java.lang.Class clazz)

register

void register(java.lang.String name,
              LocatorObjectFactory factory)

Registers an object factory related to a name. The factory is used to create an instance of the object to return in the get(String) method.

Parameters:

name - of the object to register

factory - the factory of objects to register

register

void register(java.lang.String name,
              java.lang.String description,
              LocatorObjectFactory factory)

Registers an object factory related to a name. The factory is used to create an instance of the object to return in the get(String) method.

Parameters:

name - of the object to register

description - of the object to register

factory - the factory of objects to register

getLocatorName

java.lang.String getLocatorName()

Returns the name of the Locator, for registration, logging, and other uses.

Returns:

the name of the Locator
