Method Detail

visit

AbstractInhabitantImpl<?> visit(AbstractInhabitantImpl<?> inhabitant,
                                String typeName,
                                Set<String> indicies,
                                Iterator<InhabitantProviderInterceptor> remainingInterceptors,
                                InhabitantStore store)

Called by the framework to either decorate the inhabitant, or even intercept and replace the created inhabitant.

Parameters:

inhabitant - the inhabitant offered by the framework, or the previous interceptor

typeName - the type name of the inhabitant

indicies - the indicies of the inhabitant

remainingInterceptors - the interceptors that follow. It is the responsibility of the implementation to continue the visitations for remaining interceptors unless there is some special conditions warranting an immediate short-circuiting.

store - the store that can be used for adding additional inhabitants

Returns:

the Inhabitant for the framework to add, or null if none should be added
