Method Detail

getContainer

public static Container getContainer()

Gets the Container singleton.

By default this class will instantiate a new container and hold it in a static class variable as the singleton to return for other calls. This behaviour can be changed by setting a system property with key org.jdtaus.core.container.ContainerFactory to the name of a class defining a public static Container getContainer() method returning the singleton instance of Container.

Returns:

the singleton Container instance.

Throws:

ContainerError - for unrecoverable container errors.

newContainer()

newContainer

public static Container newContainer()

Creates a new instance of the Container singleton implementation.

The container implementation to be used can be controlled via a system property with key org.jdtaus.core.container.Container set to a class name to be loaded as the container implementation.

This method should be used by getContainer() implementors to retrieve a new Container instance.

Returns:

a new instance of the configured Container implementation.

Throws:

ContainerError - for unrecoverable container errors.
