    • getName

      public String getName()
      Get ContainerTypeDescription name
      Returns:
      String name for the ContainerTypeDescription. Will not be null.

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Get the String description associated with this ContainerTypeDescription instance
      Returns:
      String description. May be null.
    • isServer

      public boolean isServer()
    • isHidden

    • getSupportedAdapterTypes

      public String[] getSupportedAdapterTypes()
      Get array of supported adapters for this container type description. The returned array entries will be the fully qualified names of the adapter classes. Note that the returned types do not guarantee that a subsequent call to IContainer.getAdapter(Class) with the same type name as a returned value will return a non-null result. In other words, even if the class name is in the returned array, subsequent calls to IContainer.getAdapter(Class) may still return null.
      Returns:
      String[] of supported adapters. The entries in the returned array will be the fully qualified class names of adapters supported by the given description. An empty string array (String[0]) will be returned if no adapters are supported.
    • traceAndLogException

      protected void traceAndLogException(int code, String method, Throwable e)
    • getSupportedParameterTypes

      public Class[][] getSupportedParameterTypes()
      Get array of parameter types for this ContainerTypeDescription. Each of the rows of the returned array specifies a Class[] of parameter types. These parameter types correspond to the types of Objects that can be passed into the second parameter of IContainerInstantiator.createInstance(ContainerTypeDescription, Object[]). For example, if this method returns a Class [] = {{ String.class, String.class }, { String.class }} this indicates that a call to createInstance(description,new String[] { "hello", "there" }) and a call to createInstance(description,new String[] { "hello" }) will be understood by the underlying provider implementation.
      Returns:
      Class[][] array of Class arrays. Each row corresponds to a Class[] that describes the types of Objects for second parameter to IContainerInstantiator.createInstance(ContainerTypeDescription, Object[]). If no parameter types are understood as arguments, a Class[0][0] array will be returned
    • getSupportedIntents

      public String[] getSupportedIntents()
      Returns:
      String[] of container's intents.
