beanDefinition

Constructor Detail

BeanDefinitionResource

public BeanDefinitionResource(BeanDefinition beanDefinition)

Create a new BeanDefinitionResource.

Parameters:

beanDefinition - the BeanDefinition objectto wrap

Method Detail

getBeanDefinition

public final BeanDefinition getBeanDefinition()

Return the wrapped BeanDefinition object.

exists

public boolean exists()

Description copied from class: AbstractResource

This implementation checks whether a File can be opened, falling back to whether an InputStream can be opened. This will cover both directories and content resources.

Specified by:

exists in interface Resource

Overrides:

exists in class AbstractResource

isReadable

public boolean isReadable()

Description copied from class: AbstractResource

This implementation always returns true.

Specified by:

isReadable in interface Resource

Overrides:

isReadable in class AbstractResource

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: InputStreamSource

Return an InputStream.

It is expected that each call creates a fresh stream.

This requirement is particularly important when you consider an API such as JavaMail, which needs to be able to read the stream multiple times when creating mail attachments. For such a use case, it is required that each getInputStream() call returns a fresh stream.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the stream could not be opened

MimeMessageHelper.addAttachment(String, InputStreamSource)

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Description copied from interface: Resource

Return a description for this resource, to be used for error output when working with the resource.

Implementations are also encouraged to return this value from their toString method.

See Also:

Object.toString()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

This implementation compares the underlying BeanDefinition.

Overrides:

equals in class AbstractResource

See Also:

Resource.getDescription()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying BeanDefinition.

Overrides:

hashCode in class AbstractResource
