Method Detail

registerBinding

public void registerBinding(Class type, Class implementationType)
Registers a binding from the specified "public" domain object type to the specified implementation type. Whenever the container is asked to create an element with the binding's public type, it will instantiate the binding's implementation type. If the implementation type has a constructor annotated with javax.inject.Inject, its arguments will be injected.

In general, registering a binding is preferable over implementing and registering a factory.

Parameters:
type - a public domain object type
implementationType - the corresponding implementation type
- a public domain object type

registerFactory

public void registerFactory(Class type, NamedDomainObjectFactory factory)
Registers a factory for creating elements of the specified type. Typically, the specified type is an interface type.
throws:
IllegalArgumentException if the specified type is not a subtype of the container element type
Parameters:
type - the type of objects created by the factory
factory - the factory to register
- the type of objects created by the factory

registerFactory

public void registerFactory(Class type, Closure factory)
Registers a factory for creating elements of the specified type. Typically, the specified type is an interface type.
throws:
IllegalArgumentException if the specified type is not a subtype of the container element type
Parameters:
type - the type of objects created by the factory
factory - the factory to register
- the type of objects created by the factory
