Public Methods

public T acceptVisitor (ElementVisitor<T> visitor)

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

Parameters
visitor to call back on

public void applyTo (Binder binder)

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

Parameters
binder to apply configuration element to

public TypeListener getListener ()

Returns the registered listener.

public Object getSource ()

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.

public Matcher<? super TypeLiteral<?>> getTypeMatcher ()

Returns the type matcher which chooses which types the listener should be notified of.
