Class FacadeInvoker

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler

    public class FacadeInvoker
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler
    The facade invocation handler. Like the facade pattern, this invocation handler is used to facade an object with a set of interfaces.

    This Invocation handler assumes the object being facaded (a.k.a, the target) has all methods of these interfaces, but it might not implement all of these interfaces directly.

    It happens when you need to provide interfaces to classes that come from third parties.

    Example:

    class A {
      public void f() {...}
    }
    interface I {
      public void f();
    }
    Then, you could do:
    I i = (I)FacadeInvoker.newInstance(new A(), new Class[] {I});

                                                         java.lang.Class[] interfaces,

        Creates an object that implements the giving interfaces by wrapping a giving object, target.

        The target must have all methods in all given interfaces, but might not implement all these interfaces.

      • newInstance

        public static final java.lang.Object newInstance​(java.lang.Object target,
                                                         java.lang.Class[] interfaces)
        Creates an object that implements the giving interfaces by wrapping a giving object, target.

        A shortcut: newInstance( target, interfaces, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()).
