Class BindingLoader


  • public class BindingLoader
    extends Object
    Stores a list of binding classes and provides ways to load or get a specific Binding object based on QName. It can handle storage of classes that support the ComponentAdapter interface or other classes but will attempt to instantiate and return a Binding object.

    It uses a Context (otherwise known as PicoContainer) to instantiate the relevant object and understand the dependencies that should also be loaded. The Context is required to be passed in by the caller
