java.lang.Object
  org.broadleafcommerce.core.extension.ExtensionManager<T>

Type Parameters:

T -

public abstract class ExtensionManager<T extends ExtensionHandler>
extends Object
implements InvocationHandler

The ExtensionManager pattern is intended for out of box components to be extended by Broadleaf modules. Each component that needs an extension should define an interface which is a descendant of ExtensionHandler. The concrete ExtensionManager class will utilize that interface as a parameter (e.g. T below). The default extension manager pattern loops through all handlers and examines their ExtensionResultStatusType to determine whether or not to continue with other handlers.

Constructor Summary

ExtensionManager(Class<T> _clazz)
Should take in a className that matches the ExtensionHandler interface being managed.

Method Summary

boolean	continueOnHandled() Returns whether or not this extension manager continues on ExtensionResultStatusType.HANDLED.
List<T>	getHandlers()
int	getPriority() ExtensionManagers don't really need a priority but they pick up this property due to the fact that we want them to implement the same interface as the handlers they are managing.
T	getProxy()
Object	invoke(Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args)
void	setHandlers(List<T> handlers)
boolean	shouldContinue(ExtensionResultStatusType result, ExtensionHandler handler, Method method, Object[] args) Utility method that is useful for determining whether or not an ExtensionManager implementation should continue after processing a ExtensionHandler call.
