Interface PhysicalTypeMetadataProvider

All Superinterfaces:

org.springframework.roo.metadata.MetadataProvider

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultPhysicalTypeMetadataProvider

public interface PhysicalTypeMetadataProvider
extends org.springframework.roo.metadata.MetadataProvider

Provides a classpath-related finder for PhysicalTypeMetadata instances.

Add-ons can rely on there being only one PhysicalTypeMetadataProvider active at a time. Initially this will be because there will only be one implementation that uses source code AST parsing, although it is intended that a bytecode-based parser may also be added in the future. If more than one implementation is eventually developed, they will be hidden below a single visible delegating implementation. As such add-ons do not need to consult a list of different implementations.
