Interface Instantiator<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - The type to be instantiated

    @Deprecated
    public interface Instantiator<T>
    Deprecated.
    Alternative techniques for accelerating dependency injection make the use of this interface redundant

    Instantiates an instance of a specific type. Note that instances of this type are automatically generated by the AnnotationProcessor at compile time. Sub-classes of this type MUST NOT be manually defined.

    In order to be able to generate an Instantiator for a type, the type's constructor must have package or public level visibility. If this requirement is not met then an Instantiator will not be generated for the type.

        Produce a new instance of the specified type
        Parameters:
        dependencies - Instances of types that the instantiated type depends on. Theses dependencies match the order established by the parameter declarations of the type's @Injected constructor.
        Returns:
        instance of the specified type
        Throws:
        java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if an error occurs during invocation of the instantiated type's constructor
