Constructor Detail

WrapperComponentSelector

public WrapperComponentSelector(java.lang.String key,
                        ServiceSelector selector)

This constructor is a constructor for a WrapperComponentSelector.

Parameters:

key - the key used to aquire this selector

selector - the selector to wrap

Method Detail

select

public Component select(java.lang.Object policy)
                 throws ComponentException

Select a Component based on a policy.

Parameters:

Parameters:

policy - a Object containing the selection criteria

Returns:

True if the component is available, False if it not.

release

public void release(Component object)

Return the Object when you are finished with it. This allows the ServiceSelector to handle the End-Of-Life Lifecycle events associated with the Object. Please note, that no Exception should be thrown at this point. This is to allow easy use of the ServiceSelector system without having to trap Exceptions on a release.

Parameters:

object - The Object we are releasing.
