InheritanceDefaultFlexAutowireProcessor Inheritance DefaultAutowireProcessor

Extension of the DefaultAutowireProcessor that also allows object fields to be bound to other objects.

Use this annotation syntax to use field binding in your object:

[Autowired(host="objectName","property.chain")] public var myProperty:String;

Where the objectName key is an object name in the container.

This autowire processor is created by default by the FlexXMLApplicationContext

preprocessObjectDefinition(objectDefinition:IObjectDefinition):void

Performs AUTODETECT and CONSTRUCTOR checks.

Method that can be invoked by an IObjectFactory implementation for any type of pre-processing of the IObjectDefinition associated with the object that needs to be created.

Typically this method can be used to do some kind of constructor configuration.

autoWireField(object:Object, field:Field, objectName:String):void

Checks for the existence of a host and chain metadata argument key, if found the bindField() method is invoked.

Checks of the specified Field instance contains any autowiring metadata, abd based on this class the appropriate wiring methods.
DefaultFlexAutowireProcessor
 Inherited
autoWireFieldByName(object:Object, field:Field, metadata:MetaData, objectName:String):void
Takes the field name or the value of the AUTOWIRED_ARGUMENT_NAME metadata argument, retrieves the object with that name form the objectFactory and injects it into the specified field.
DefaultAutowireProcessor
 Inherited
autoWireFieldByPropertyName(object:Object, field:Field, metadata:MetaData, objectName:String):void
Takes the value of the AUTOWIRED_ARGUMENT_EXTERNALPROPERTY metadata argument, looks up the key in the objectFactory's Properties array and injects it into the specified field.
DefaultAutowireProcessor
 Inherited
autoWireFieldByType(object:Object, field:Field, metadata:MetaData, objectName:String):void
Tries to retrieve an autowire candidate based on the type of the specified field, and when found injects the candidate into the specified field.

bindField(object:Object, field:Field, metadata:MetaData, objectName:String):void

Constructor detail
DefaultFlexAutowireProcessor()constructor
public function DefaultFlexAutowireProcessor(objectFactory:IObjectFactory)

Creates a new DefaultFlexAutowireProcessor instance.

Parameters
objectFactory:IObjectFactory
Method detail
autoWireField()method
protected override function autoWireField(object:Object, field:Field, objectName:String):void

Checks for the existence of a host and chain metadata argument key, if found the bindField() method is invoked.

Checks of the specified Field instance contains any autowiring metadata, abd based on this class the appropriate wiring methods. Parameters
object:Object — The object being autowired
 
field:Field — The field that will be examined for the necessary metadata
 
objectName:String — The name of the object in the objectFactory
bindField()method 
protected function bindField(object:Object, field:Field, metadata:MetaData, objectName:String):void

Retrieves the values for the host and chain argument keys and uses these to create a binding between the host object and the specified object being autowired.

Parameters
object:Object — The object that is being autowired
 
field:Field — The field that will receive the binding
 
metadata:MetaData — The metadata describing the binding
 
objectName:String — The name of the object as known by the container

Throws
