Class ObjectFactory

java.lang.Object
  com.opensymphony.xwork2.ObjectFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

SpringObjectFactory

public class ObjectFactory
extends Object
implements Serializable

ObjectFactory is responsible for building the core framework objects. Users may register their own implementation of the ObjectFactory to control instantiation of these Objects.

This default implementation uses the buildBean method to create all classes (interceptors, actions, results, etc).

isNoArgConstructorRequired

public boolean isNoArgConstructorRequired()

Allows for ObjectFactory implementations that support Actions without no-arg constructors.

Returns:

true if no-arg constructor is required, false otherwise

getClassInstance

public Class getClassInstance(String className)
                       throws ClassNotFoundException

Utility method to obtain the class matched to className. Caches look ups so that subsequent lookups will be faster.

Parameters:

className - The fully qualified name of the class to return

Returns:

The class itself

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

buildAction

public Object buildAction(String actionName,
                          String namespace,
                          ActionConfig config,
                          Map<String,Object> extraContext)
                   throws Exception

Build an instance of the action class to handle a particular request (eg. web request)

Parameters:

actionName - the name the action configuration is set up with in the configuration

namespace - the namespace the action is configured in

config - the action configuration found in the config for the actionName / namespace

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Returns:

instance of the action class to handle a web request

Throws:

Exception

buildBean

public Object buildBean(Class clazz,
                        Map<String,Object> extraContext)
                 throws Exception

Build a generic Java object of the given type.

Parameters:

clazz - the type of Object to build

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Throws:

Exception

injectInternalBeans

protected Object injectInternalBeans(Object obj)

Parameters:

obj -

buildBean

public Object buildBean(String className,
                        Map<String,Object> extraContext)
                 throws Exception

Build a generic Java object of the given type.

Parameters:

className - the type of Object to build

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Throws:

Exception

buildBean

public Object buildBean(String className,
                        Map<String,Object> extraContext,
                        boolean injectInternal)
                 throws Exception

Build a generic Java object of the given type.

Parameters:

className - the type of Object to build

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Throws:

Exception

buildInterceptor

public Interceptor buildInterceptor(InterceptorConfig interceptorConfig,
                                    Map<String,String> interceptorRefParams)
                             throws ConfigurationException

Builds an Interceptor from the InterceptorConfig and the Map of parameters from the interceptor reference. Implementations of this method should ensure that the Interceptor is parameterized with both the parameters from the Interceptor config and the interceptor ref Map (the interceptor ref params take precedence), and that the Interceptor.init() method is called on the Interceptor instance before it is returned.

Parameters:

interceptorConfig - the InterceptorConfig from the configuration

interceptorRefParams - a Map of params provided in the Interceptor reference in the Action mapping or InterceptorStack definition

Throws:

ConfigurationException

buildResult

public Result buildResult(ResultConfig resultConfig,
                          Map<String,Object> extraContext)
                   throws Exception

Build a Result using the type in the ResultConfig and set the parameters in the ResultConfig.

Parameters:

resultConfig - the ResultConfig found for the action with the result code returned

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Throws:

Exception

buildValidator

public Validator buildValidator(String className,
                                Map<String,String> params,
                                Map<String,Object> extraContext)
                         throws Exception

Build a Validator of the given type and set the parameters on it

Parameters:

className - the type of Validator to build

params - property name -> value Map to set onto the Validator instance

extraContext - a Map of extra context which uses the same keys as the ActionContext

Throws:

Exception
