Method Detail

getType

BindingType getType()

Returns the type of binding specification; this is generally BindingType.PREFIXED.

getValue

String getValue()

For a prefixed binding specification (the typical type), the value is a binding reference; a string used to contruct the actual binding, and consists of a prefix (such as "ognl:" or "message:") and a locator. The prefix selects a BindingFactory, and the locator is passed to the factory, which uses it to construct the IBindinginstance.

setType

void setType(BindingType type)

setValue

void setValue(String value)
