Interface ProcessBean<X>

Type Parameters:

X - The class of the bean

All Known Subinterfaces:

ProcessManagedBean<X>, ProcessProducerField<T,X>, ProcessProducerMethod<T,X>, ProcessSessionBean<X>, ProcessSyntheticBean<X>

public interface ProcessBean<X>

The container fires an event of this type for each enabled bean, interceptor or decorator deployed in a bean archive, before registering the Bean object.

The event object type depends upon what kind of bean was discovered:

• For a managed bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type ProcessManagedBean.
• For a session bean with bean class X, the container must raise an event of type ProcessSessionBean.
• For a producer method with method return type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type ProcessProducerMethod.
• For a producer field with field type X of a bean with bean class T, the container must raise an event of type ProcessProducerField.
• For a custom implementation of Bean, the container must raise an event of type ProcessSyntheticBean.

Resources are considered to be producer fields.

If any observer method of a ProcessBean event throws an exception, the exception is treated as a definition error by the container.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addDefinitionError(Throwable t) Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.
Annotated	getAnnotated() Returns the AnnotatedType representing the bean class, the AnnotatedMethod representing the producer method, or the AnnotatedField representing the producer field.
Bean<X>	getBean() Returns the Bean object that is about to be registered.

Method Detail

getAnnotated

Annotated getAnnotated()

Returns the AnnotatedType representing the bean class, the AnnotatedMethod representing the producer method, or the AnnotatedField representing the producer field.

If invoked upon a ProcessSyntheticBean event, non-portable behavior results and the returned value should be ignored.

Returns:

the AnnotatedType for the bean being registered

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

getBean

Bean<X> getBean()

Returns the Bean object that is about to be registered. The Bean may implement Interceptor or Decorator.

Returns:

the Bean object about to be registered

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation

addDefinitionError

void addDefinitionError(Throwable t)

Registers a definition error with the container, causing the container to abort deployment after bean discovery is complete.

Parameters:

t - The definition error to register as a Throwable

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called outside of the observer method invocation
