Is it just me or what you're proposing is very similar to what
StrategyBuilder.build(Class, Map) already does in the sense that you want
to associate certain objets to a given class (the config field in
ObjectFactoryImpl)?

I created a pretty simple service that's proven quite useful. The
interface
is
*public* *interface* ObjectFactory {
*public* <T> T build(Class<T> clazz);
}
it's built on top of autobuild and since it's a service you can plug in
different factories. The one I have this
*public* *class* ObjectFactoryImpl<T> *implements* ObjectFactory {
*private* *final* Map<Class, Class> config;
*private* *final* ObjectLocator locator;
*public* ObjectFactoryImpl(Map<Class,Class> config, ObjectLocator
locator)
{
*this*.config = config;
*this*.locator = locator;
}
@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "hiding" })
@Override
*public* <T> T build(Class<T> clazz) {
*if* ( config.containsKey(clazz) ) {
*return* (T) locator.autobuild(config.get(clazz));
}
*return* locator.autobuild(clazz);
}
}
This allows constructing real objects from interfaces with a config like
this:
@Contribute(ObjectFactory.*class*)
*public* *static* *void*
contributeObjectFactory(MappedConfiguration<Class,
Class> configuration) {
configuration.add(PayLaterPayment.*class*, PayLaterPaymentDDB.*class*);
configuration.add(CreditCardPayment.*class*,
CreditCardPaymentDDB.*class*);
configuration.add(PayPalPayment.*class*,PayPalPaymentDDB.*class*);
configuration.add(Invoice.*class*,InvoiceDDB.*class*);
configuration.add(InvoiceItem.*class*,LineItem.*class*);
}
What makes this useful is you can build modules that define interfaces
and
then do things like
*public* *class* PayPalButton {
@Parameter
*private* PaymentMethod payment;
@Inject
*private* ObjectFactory objectFactory;
*void* onSelectedFromPayPal() { payment = objectFactory
.build(PayPalPayment.*class*); }
}
I also think it would make BeanEditForm even more useful. If there any
interest I'll open a JIRA and add the code.
Thanks
