Method Detail

• setResourceResolver

  void setResourceResolver(ResourceResolver resourceResolver)

  Set the ResourceResolver for this class.

  Note: we tried removing this interface, and having ConfigReader look for xxxConfig classes that took a ResourceResolver parameter in their constructor instead. This had disadvantages:

  • you start dictating how a class' constructor must look, which degrades the POJO approach
  • you end up using reflection to determine what constructor parameters there are. In general, an API should favour interfaces over reflection
  • you require clients to think about ResourceResolver when constructing the class programmatically. They can pass null, but this really calls for a default constructor. But if you have a default constructor, all subclasses must implement two constructors, and many must therefore make two calls to setDefaultFile
