Field Detail

applicationContextFactory

protected ApplicationContextFactory applicationContextFactory

Factory for creating ApplicationContexts

Constructor Detail

ApplicationContextManager

public ApplicationContextManager(ApplicationContextFactory applicationContextFactory)

Creates a new instance, using the given ApplicationContextFactory. The given list of BeanPostProcessors will be registered on all ApplicationContexts that are created.

Parameters:

applicationContextFactory - The factory for creating ApplicationContexts, not null.

Method Detail

getApplicationContext

public org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext getApplicationContext(Object testObject)

Gets the application context for the given test as described in the class javadoc. A UnitilsException will be thrown if no context could be retrieved or created.

Parameters:

testObject - The test instance, not null

Returns:

The application context, not null

hasApplicationContext

public boolean hasApplicationContext(Object testObject)

Checks whether the given test object has an application context linked to it. If true is returned, getApplicationContext(java.lang.Object) will return an application context, If false is returned, it will raise an exception.

Parameters:

testObject - The test instance, not null

Returns:

True if an application context is linked

invalidateApplicationContext

public void invalidateApplicationContext(Class<?>... classes)

Forces the reloading of the application context the next time that it is requested. If classes are given only contexts that are linked to those classes will be reset. If no classes are given, all cached contexts will be reset.

Parameters:

classes - The classes for which to reset the contexts

createInstanceForValues

protected org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext createInstanceForValues(Object testObject,
                                                                     Class<?> testClass,
                                                                     List<String> locations)

Creates a new application context for the given locations. The application context factory is used to create the instance. After creating the context, this will also register all BeanPostProcessors and refresh the context.

Note: for this to work, the application context may not have been refreshed in the factory. By registering the bean post processors before the refresh, we can intercept bean creation and bean wiring. This is no longer possible if the context is already refreshed.

Specified by:

createInstanceForValues in class AnnotatedInstanceManager<org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext,SpringApplicationContext>

Parameters:

locations - The locations where to find configuration files, not null

Returns:

the context, not null

getAnnotationValues

protected List<String> getAnnotationValues(SpringApplicationContext annotation)

Gets the locations that are specified for the given SpringApplicationContext annotation. An array with 1 empty string should be considered to be empty and null should be returned.

Specified by:

getAnnotationValues in class AnnotatedInstanceManager<org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext,SpringApplicationContext>

Parameters:

annotation - The annotation, not null

Returns:

The locations, null if no values were specified
