Interface Component

All Known Implementing Classes:

ComponentProxy

public interface Component

Component interface. Interface contains two methods: construct() and destruct(), which Component may choose to implement to allow construction and destruction outside of the constructor/destructor. This is mandatory if a component refers to other components, which could in turn refer back to this component.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	construct() Called by the Manager immediately after the object has been constructed and registered with the Manager.
void	destruct() Called immediately before the object is destructed.
boolean	doesImplement(java.lang.String type) Checks if component implements given type.
java.lang.Object	getObject() Returns implementation of component object.
java.lang.String[]	implementedInterfaces() Returns list of intefaces implemented by this component.

Method Detail

construct

void construct()
        throws RemoteException

Called by the Manager immediately after the object has been constructed and registered with the Manager. This is a good place to resolve references to dependent components.

Throws:

RemoteException

destruct

void destruct()
       throws RemoteException

Called immediately before the object is destructed. Here references to other components should be released. After this method completes, the Manager unregisters the component.

Throws:

RemoteException

doesImplement

boolean doesImplement(java.lang.String type)

Checks if component implements given type.

Parameters:

type - implementation of the type to be checked.

implementedInterfaces

java.lang.String[] implementedInterfaces()

Returns list of intefaces implemented by this component.

getObject

java.lang.Object getObject()

Returns implementation of component object.
