Interface ContainedBean<B>

All Superinterfaces:

ManagedBean<B>

@SPI({USE,IMPLEMENT,SUPPLY})
public interface ContainedBean<B>
extends ManagedBean<B>

A bean handle with lifecycle hooks for its owning BeanContainer. Consumers access the bean through ManagedBean; the container uses initialize() and release() to manage its lifecycle. Custom containers implement and supply these handles from their acquisition methods.

Consumers must request release through the managed bean registry or BeanContainer.releaseBean(ManagedBean), rather than invoking release() directly, so cache eviction and lifecycle bookkeeping take place as well.

Method Summary
