java.beans.beancontext
public interface: BeanContext [javadoc | source]

All Implemented Interfaces:
    Collection, DesignMode, BeanContextChild, Visibility

All Known Implementing Classes:
    BeanContextServicesSupport, BeanContextSupport, BeanContextServices

The BeanContext acts a logical hierarchical container for JavaBeans.

Field Summary
public static final  Object globalHierarchyLock    This global lock is used by both BeanContext and BeanContextServices implementors to serialize changes in a BeanContext hierarchy and any service requests etc. 
Method from java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext Summary:
addBeanContextMembershipListener,   getResource,   getResourceAsStream,   instantiateChild,   removeBeanContextMembershipListener
Method from java.beans.beancontext.BeanContext Detail:
 public  void addBeanContextMembershipListener(BeanContextMembershipListener bcml)
    Adds the specified BeanContextMembershipListener
to receive BeanContextMembershipEvents from
this BeanContext whenever it adds
or removes a child Component(s).
 public URL getResource(String name,
    BeanContextChild bcc) throws IllegalArgumentException
    Analagous to java.lang.ClassLoader.getResource(), this
method allows a BeanContext implementation to interpose
behavior between the child Component
and underlying ClassLoader.
 public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name,
    BeanContextChild bcc) throws IllegalArgumentException
    Analagous to java.lang.ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(),
this method allows a BeanContext implementation
to interpose behavior between the child Component
and underlying ClassLoader.
 public Object instantiateChild(String beanName) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException
    Instantiate the javaBean named as a
child of this BeanContext.
The implementation of the JavaBean is
derived from the value of the beanName parameter,
and is defined by the
java.beans.Beans.instantiate() method.
 public  void removeBeanContextMembershipListener(BeanContextMembershipListener bcml)
    Removes the specified BeanContextMembershipListener
so that it no longer receives BeanContextMembershipEvents
when the child Component(s) are added or removed.
