Package org.microbean.bean.model

package org.microbean.bean.model

Provides classes and interfaces related to modeling dependency resolutions.

This package is experimental, incomplete, and subject to change at any moment.

The general idea is:

• You start with a list of Beans (Aggregates, really). Each element will have dependencies. A dependency is represented by an AnnotatedConstruct (normally a Element. (A dependency will not represent the bean that supplies it.)
• From this list, you can extract a set of AnnotatedConstructs. These represent all the demand in the system.
• For each such AnnotatedConstruct, you can perform typesafe resolution and find a Bean that satisfies the demand.
• The resulting model should not have any "holes". That is, every AnnotatedConstruct should be matched up with exactly one Bean. When this is not the case, the model is invalid.
