Defining bean

You can configure bean by using following format:

beanName (class: className, active: activeValue, exportable: exportableValue) {
    # scope of bean properties
}

where beanName is name under which you want to configure bean. beanName must be wrapped in '', if beanName contains characters like =:,[]#+-*/ and is recommended, if beanName is numeric only.

Inside block between ( and ) you can define:

  • class which will be used as a bean, in example above we set class as className. (default: if you try to configure bean under name which has default class assigned with it in Tigase framework then this assigned class will be used. In other case you need to pass name of class to use as a bean)
  • active (boolean) whether you want the bean to be active or not (beans with active set to false are not loaded). (default: true)
  • exportable (boolean) defines if this bean should be exported and available for use for beans in inner scopes. This is advanced option in most cases it is recommended to omit this field in configuration. (default: false)

Spaces between beanName and block between () is optional as well as space between block () and block {}. It is recommended that properties of bean would be placed in separate lines with indentation and first property will be placed in new line.

Important

Usage of () block is very important. When this block is used in configuration it automatically sets active property of bean definition for bean for which it is used to to true. This is done due to fact that default value of active is true.

If you omit it in configuration, you will set bean configuration but it may remain inactive. In this state bean will not be loaded and as a result will not be used by Tigase XMPP Server.
