Interface Injectable<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type of the instances produced
    All Superinterfaces:
    Constructable<T>
    public interface Injectable<T>
extends Constructable<T>
    Represents a source for an injectable dependency. Injectables can be provided in various ways, either by creating a new instance of a class, by using a known instance or by asking a provider for an instance.

    Implementations of this interface must provide implementations of Object.equals(Object) and Object.hashCode(). Two injectables are considered equal when the full generic type is equal, their qualifiers are equal and they come from the exact same source (same class, same method, same field, etc.)
