Class Key<T>

java.lang.Object

org.elasticsearch.common.inject.Key<T>

public class Key<T>
extends java.lang.Object

Binding key consisting of an injection type and an optional annotation. Matches the type and annotation at a point of injection.

For example, Key.get(Service.class, Transactional.class) will match:

    @Inject
   public void setService( @Transactional Service service) {
     ...
   }
 

Key supports generic types via subclassing just like TypeLiteral.

Keys do not differentiate between primitive types (int, char, etc.) and their corresponding wrapper types (Integer, Character, etc.). Primitive types will be replaced with their wrapper types when keys are created.

Constructor Detail

Key

protected Key(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> annotationType)

Constructs a new key. Derives the type from this class's type parameter.

Clients create an empty anonymous subclass. Doing so embeds the type parameter in the anonymous class's type hierarchy so we can reconstitute it at runtime despite erasure.

Example usage for a binding of type Foo annotated with @Bar:

new Key<Foo>(Bar.class) {}.

Key

protected Key(java.lang.annotation.Annotation annotation)

Constructs a new key. Derives the type from this class's type parameter.

Clients create an empty anonymous subclass. Doing so embeds the type parameter in the anonymous class's type hierarchy so we can reconstitute it at runtime despite erasure.

Example usage for a binding of type Foo annotated with @Bar:

new Key<Foo>(new Bar()) {}.

Key

protected Key()

Constructs a new key. Derives the type from this class's type parameter.

Clients create an empty anonymous subclass. Doing so embeds the type parameter in the anonymous class's type hierarchy so we can reconstitute it at runtime despite erasure.

Example usage for a binding of type Foo:

new Key<Foo>() {}.
