Annotations scanning part 2
alesj May 19, 2008 10:13 AMI'm slowly adding more and more tests to this (resolved) issue:
- http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=134098
I've added a deployer that knows how to scan newly added @Bean and @BeanFactory annotations - corresponding to MC beans and beanfactories.
The code that does this is pretty simple:
public void deploy(DeploymentUnit unit, AnnotationEnvironment env) throws DeploymentException { Set<Class<?>> beans = env.classIsAnnotatedWith(Bean.class);
then you can do what ever you like with that information. ;-)
This is what I do in my case (create new BeanMetaData if it doesn't exist yet):
for (Class<?> beanClass : beans) { Bean bean = beanClass.getAnnotation(Bean.class); String name = bean.name(); if (name == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null bean name: " + beanClass); DeploymentUnit component = components.get(name); BeanMetaData bmd = null; if (component != null) bmd = component.getAttachment(BeanMetaData.class); if (bmd == null) { BeanMetaDataBuilder builder = BeanMetaDataBuilder.createBuilder(name, beanClass.getName()); String[] aliases = bean.aliases(); if (aliases != null && aliases.length > 0) builder.setAliases(new HashSet<Object>(Arrays.asList(aliases))); builder.setMode(bean.mode()) .setAccessMode(bean.accessMode()) .setAutowireType(bean.autowireType()) .setErrorHandlingMode(bean.errorHandlingMode()) .setAutowireCandidate(bean.autowireCandidate()); addBeanComponent(unit, builder.getBeanMetaData()); }
For all those who missed recent annotations scanning work, this is the class that should be of interest - AnnotationEnvironment - simply pull it out from the right DeploymentUnit as attachment:
/** * Information holder about annotation processing. * * @author <a href="mailto:ales.justin@jboss.com">Ales Justin</a> */ public interface AnnotationEnvironment { /** * Get all classes annotated with annotation param. * * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for * @return set of matching classes */ Set<Class<?>> classIsAnnotatedWith(Class<? extends Annotation> annotation); /** * Get all classes who have some constructor annotated with annotation param. * * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for * @return set of matching classes */ <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Constructor>> classHasConstructorAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); /** * Get all classes who have some field annotated with annotation param. * * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for * @return set of matching classes */ <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Field>> classHasFieldAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); /** * Get all classes who have some method annotated with annotation param. * * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for * @return set of matching classes */ <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, Method>> classHasMethodAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); /** * Get all classes who have some method's/constructor's parameter annotated with annotation param. * * @param annotation the annotation we're querying for * @return set of matching classes */ <A extends Annotation> Set<Element<A, AccessibleObject>> classHasParameterAnnotatedWith(Class<A> annotation); }
The code handles class loading lazily (Javassist + keeping weak ref to classloader from unit), meaning class won't get loaded until you actually need the information, e.g. AOP could modify it before.
