                                                       Parameter... parameters)
                                                throws PicoCompositionException
        Create a new component adapter based on the specified arguments.
        Parameters:
        componentMonitor - the component monitor
        lifecycleStrategy - te lifecycle strategy
        componentProperties - the component properties
        componentKey - the key to be associated with this adapter. This value should be returned from a call to ComponentAdapter.getComponentKey() on the created adapter.
        componentImplementation - the implementation class to be associated with this adapter. This value should be returned from a call to ComponentAdapter.getComponentImplementation() on the created adapter. Should not be null.
        parameters - additional parameters to use by the component adapter in constructing component instances. These may be used, for example, to make decisions about the arguments passed into the component constructor. These should be considered hints; they may be ignored by some implementations. May be null, and may be of zero length.
        Returns:
        a new component adapter based on the specified arguments. Should not return null.
        Throws:
        PicoCompositionException - if the creation of the component adapter results in a PicoCompositionException.
      • verify

        void verify​(PicoContainer container)
        Verification for the ComponentFactory - subject to implementation.
        Parameters:
        container - the PicoContainer, that is used for verification.
        Throws:
        PicoCompositionException - if one or more dependencies cannot be resolved.
      • accept

        void accept​(PicoVisitor visitor)
        Accepts a visitor for this ComponentFactory. The method is normally called by visiting a PicoContainer, that cascades the visitor also down to all its ComponentFactory instances.
        Parameters:
        visitor - the visitor.
