Class SpringLoader

java.lang.Object
  org.apache.xbean.server.spring.loader.SpringLoader

All Implemented Interfaces:

Loader

Direct Known Subclasses:

PureSpringLoader

public class SpringLoader
extends Object
implements Loader

SpringLoader loads Spring xml configurations into a Kernel. This service uses the XBean version of FileSystemXmlApplicationContext so custom XML extensions are available. This loader also support the specification of SpringXmlPreprocessors and BeanFactoryPostProcessors to apply to the configuration.

Since:

2.0

Constructor Summary

SpringLoader()
Creates an empty SpringLoader.

Constructor Detail

SpringLoader

public SpringLoader()

Creates an empty SpringLoader. Note this loader is not usable until a kernel is specified.

Method Detail

getKernel

public org.apache.xbean.kernel.Kernel getKernel()

Gets the kernel in which configuraitons are loaded.

Specified by:

getKernel in interface Loader

Returns:

the kernel in which configurations are loaded

setKernel

public void setKernel(org.apache.xbean.kernel.Kernel kernel)

Sets the kernel in which configurations are loaded.

Parameters:

kernel - the kernel in which configurations are loaded

getBeanFactoryPostProcessors

public List getBeanFactoryPostProcessors()

Gets the BeanFactoryPostProcessors to apply to the configuration.

Returns:

the BeanFactoryPostProcessors to apply to the configuration

setBeanFactoryPostProcessors

public void setBeanFactoryPostProcessors(List beanFactoryPostProcessors)

Sets the BeanFactoryPostProcessors to apply to the configuration.

Parameters:

beanFactoryPostProcessors - the BeanFactoryPostProcessors to apply to the configuration

getBaseDir

public File getBaseDir()

Gets the base directory from which configuration locations are resolved.

Returns:

the base directory from which configuration locations are resolved

setBaseDir

public void setBaseDir(File baseDir)

Sets the base directory from which configuration locations are resolved.

Parameters:

baseDir - the base directory from which configuration locations are resolved

getXmlPreprocessors

public List getXmlPreprocessors()

Gets the SpringXmlPreprocessors applied to the configuration.

Returns:

the SpringXmlPreprocessors applied to the configuration

setXmlPreprocessors

public void setXmlPreprocessors(List xmlPreprocessors)

Sets the SpringXmlPreprocessors applied to the configuration.

Parameters:

xmlPreprocessors - the SpringXmlPreprocessors applied to the configuration

load

public org.apache.xbean.kernel.ServiceName load(String location)
                                         throws Exception

Loads the specified configuration into the kernel. The location specifies a file relative to the baseDir using baseDir.toURI().resolve(location).getPath() + ".xml". This service uses the XBean version of FileSystemXmlApplicationContext so custom XML extensions are available.

Specified by:

load in interface Loader

Parameters:

location - the location of the configuration file relative to the base directory without the .xml extension

Returns:

the name of the SpringConfiguration service for this location

Throws:

Exception - if a problem occurs while loading the Spring configuration file

getApplicationContext

public org.springframework.context.support.AbstractXmlApplicationContext getApplicationContext()

Returns the last Spring application context that was read via the call to load(String)

createXmlApplicationContext

protected org.springframework.context.support.AbstractXmlApplicationContext createXmlApplicationContext(String configLocation)

A factory method for creating the application context
