Method Detail

getSource

public Object getSource()

Description copied from interface: Element

Returns an arbitrary object containing information about the "place" where this element was configured. Used by Guice in the production of descriptive error messages.

Tools might specially handle types they know about; StackTraceElement is a good example. Tools should simply call toString() on the source object if the type is unfamiliar.

Specified by:

getSource in interface Element

getKey

public Key<T> getKey()

getDependency

public Dependency<T> getDependency()

Since:

4.0

acceptVisitor

public <T> T acceptVisitor(ElementVisitor<T> visitor)

Description copied from interface: Element

Accepts an element visitor. Invokes the visitor method specific to this element's type.

Specified by:

acceptVisitor in interface Element

Parameters:

visitor - to call back on

initializeDelegate

public void initializeDelegate(Provider<T> delegate)

Sets the actual provider.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the delegate is already set

applyTo

public void applyTo(Binder binder)

Description copied from interface: Element

Writes this module element to the given binder (optional operation).

Specified by:

applyTo in interface Element

Parameters:

binder - to apply configuration element to

getDelegate

public Provider<T> getDelegate()

Returns the delegate provider, or null if it has not yet been initialized. The delegate will be initialized when this element is processed, or otherwise used to create an injector.

getProvider

public Provider<T> getProvider()

Returns the looked up provider. The result is not valid until this lookup has been initialized, which usually happens when the injector is created. The provider will throw an IllegalStateException if you try to use it beforehand.
