Obtaining an invoker

- * - * The CDI container allows {@linkplain InvokerBuilder building} an invoker for non-private - * methods declared on a managed bean class or inherited from a supertype. Attempting to build - * an invoker for a private method or a constructor of a managed bean class leads to a deployment - * problem. Attempting to build an invoker for a method of a class that is not a managed bean class - * or that is an interceptor or decorator class leads to a deployment problem. - *

- * Multiple managed beans may inherit a method from a common supertype. In that case, each bean - * conceptually has its own method and an invoker obtained for one bean may not be used to invoke - * the method on the other bean. - *

- * Using the {@link InvokerBuilder} is the only way to obtain an invoker. An {@code InvokerBuilder} - * can only be obtained in CDI portable extensions and build compatible extensions. - * - *

Example

- * - * To illustrate how invokers work, let's take a look at an example. Say that the following bean - * exists and has a method that you want to invoke indirectly: + * For example, assume the following managed bean exists: * * 
  * @Dependent
- * class MyService {
- *     String hello(String name) {
+ * public class MyService {
+ *     public String hello(String name) {
  *         return "Hello " + name + "!";
  *     }
  * }
  *
* - * When you obtain an {@code InvokerBuilder} for the {@code hello()} method, you can - * immediately build a direct invoker. In a portable extension, this results in an invoker: - * - * 
- * InvokerBuilder<Invoker<MyService, String>> builder = ...;
- * Invoker<MyService, String> invoker = builder.build();
- *
- * - * In a build compatible extension, this results in an opaque token that later - * materializes as an invoker: + * Further, assume that {@code invoker} is an invoker for the {@code hello()} method + * of the {@code MyService} bean and {@code myService} is a contextual reference for the bean. + * Then, to invoke the {@code hello()} method indirectly, a framework would call * * 
- * InvokerBuilder<InvokerInfo> builder = ...;
- * InvokerInfo invoker = builder.build();
+ * invoker.invoke(myService, new Object[] { "world" })
  *
* - * To call the {@code hello()} method through this invoker, call - * {@code invoker.invoke(myService, new Object[] {"world"})}. - * The return value is {@code "Hello world!"}. - *

- * An implementation of the direct invoker above is equivalent to the following class: + * The return value would be {@code "Hello world!"}. * - * 

- * class TheInvoker implements Invoker<MyService, String> {
- *     String invoke(MyService instance, Object[] arguments) {
- *         return instance.hello((String) arguments[0]);
- *     }
- * }
