Class ExoContainer

java.lang.Object

org.exoplatform.container.AbstractContainer

org.exoplatform.container.ExoContainer

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, org.exoplatform.container.spi.Container, org.picocontainer.Disposable, org.picocontainer.Startable

Direct Known Subclasses:

PortalContainer, RootContainer, StandaloneContainer

public class ExoContainer
extends org.exoplatform.container.AbstractContainer

Created by The eXo Platform SAS
The Exo Container is an object responsible for loading services/components. The eXoContainer class is inherited by all the containers, including RootContainer, PortalContainer, and StandaloneContainer. It itself inherits from a Container which allows eXo to apply the Inversion of Control (also known as IoC) principles.

Register a component using the componentImplementation as key. Calling this method is equivalent to calling registerComponentImplementation(componentImplementation, componentImplementation).

Parameters:

componentImplementation - the concrete component class.

Returns:

the ComponentAdapter that has been associated with this component. In the majority of cases, this return value can be safely ignored, as one of the getXXX() methods of the Container interface can be used to retrieve a reference to the component later on.

Parameters:

componentInstance - the instance of the component to register

Returns:

the ComponentAdapter that has been associated with this component. In the majority of cases, this return value can be safely ignored, as one of the getXXX() methods of the Container interface can be used to retrieve a reference to the component later on.
