Interface ManagedObjectLocator

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractManagedObjectLocator, DefaultManagedObjectLocator

public interface ManagedObjectLocator

Provider interface for locating a Topic Oriented Application's 'managed' objects.

A 'managed' object is one that is of interest to the Talon server or TopicOrientedApplication for introspection (e.g @EventHandler or @AppCommandHandler annotated methods.)

It legal (though potentially inefficient) for a ManagedObjectLocator to return objects that end up not being of interest to the application.

A ManagedObjectLocator may return itself as a managed object in which case the ManagedObjectLocator itself will be eligible to serve as an event or command handler for the application. This may be useful, for example if the locator assumes responsibility for cleaning up any objects it constructs.
