Interface BeanContextChild

All Known Subinterfaces:
BeanContext, BeanContextServices
All Known Implementing Classes:
BeanContextChildSupport, BeanContextServicesSupport, BeanContextSupport
@Deprecated(since="23", forRemoval=true) public interface BeanContextChild
Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

JavaBeans wishing to be nested within, and obtain a reference to their execution environment, or context, as defined by the BeanContext sub-interface shall implement this interface.

Conformant BeanContexts shall as a side effect of adding a BeanContextChild object shall pass a reference to itself via the setBeanContext() method of this interface.

Note that a BeanContextChild may refuse a change in state by throwing PropertyVetoedException in response.

In order for persistence mechanisms to function properly on BeanContextChild instances across a broad variety of scenarios, implementing classes of this interface are required to define as transient, any or all fields, or instance variables, that may contain, or represent, references to the nesting BeanContext instance or other resources obtained from the BeanContext via any unspecified mechanisms.

    • setBeanContext

      void setBeanContext(BeanContext bc) throws PropertyVetoException
      Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

      Objects that implement this interface, shall fire a java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent, with parameters: propertyName "beanContext", oldValue (the previous nesting BeanContext instance, or null), newValue (the current nesting BeanContext instance, or null).

      A change in the value of the nesting BeanContext property of this BeanContextChild may be vetoed by throwing the appropriate exception.

      Parameters:
      bc - The BeanContext with which to associate this BeanContextChild.
      Throws:
      PropertyVetoException - if the addition of the specified BeanContext is refused.
