How to bind methods or constructors to functional interfaces

To bind methods or constructors to functional interfaces we are going to use the FunctionalInterfaceFactory. FunctionalInterfaceFactory component uses to cache all generated functional interfaces for faster access. The complete source code of the following examples is available here.

To start we need to add the following dependency to our pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.burningwave</groupId>
    <artifactId>core</artifactId>
    <version>12.64.3</version>
</dependency>

… And to use Burningwave Core as a Java module, add the following to your module-info.java:

requires org.burningwave.core;

Constructors binding


To bind constructors to functional interfaces we will use the following constructors:

private Service(String id, String name, String... items) {                                                                          
    this.id = id;                                                                                                                   
    this.name = name;                                                                                                               
    this.items = items;                                                                                                             
    logInfo("\nMultiparameter constructor:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
}                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                    
private Service(String name, String... items) {                                                                                     
    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();                                                                                         
    this.name = name;                                                                                                               
    this.items = items;                                                                                                             
    logInfo("\nMultiparameter constructor:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
}                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                    
private Service(String... name) {                                                                                                   
    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();                                                                                         
    this.name = name[0];                                                                                                            
    this.items = null;                                                                                                              
    logInfo("\nSingle parameter varargs constructor:\n\tname: {}", this.name);                                                      
}

    logInfo("\nSingle parameter constructor:\n\tname: {}", this.name);                                                              
}

    logInfo("\nNo parameter constructor:\n\tname: {}", this.name);                                                                  
}    

… And now let’s see the code needed to bind and call the generated functional interfaces:

ComponentContainer componentContainer = ComponentContainer.getInstance();                                                            
FunctionalInterfaceFactory fIF = componentContainer.getFunctionalInterfaceFactory();                                                 
                                                                                                                                     
MultiParamsFunction<Service> serviceInstantiatorZero = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, String.class, String.class, String[].class);   
Service serviceZero = serviceInstantiatorZero.apply(UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Service Zero", new String[] {"item 1", "item 2"});
                                                                                                                                     
BiFunction<String, String[], Service> serviceInstantiatorOne = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, String.class, String[].class);         
Service serviceOne = serviceInstantiatorOne.apply("Service One", new String[] {"item 1", "item 2"});                                 
                                                                                                                                     
Function<String[], Service> serviceInstantiatorTwo = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, String[].class);                                 
Service serviceTwo = serviceInstantiatorTwo.apply(new String[] {"Service Two"});                                                     
                                                                                                                                     
Function<String, Service> serviceInstantiatorThree = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, String.class);                                   
Service serviceThree = serviceInstantiatorThree.apply("Service Three");                                                              
                                                                                                                                     
Supplier<Service> serviceInstantiatorFour = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class);                                                          
Service serviceFour = serviceInstantiatorFour.get();

Methods binding


To bind methods to functional interfaces we will use the following methods:

private Long reset(String id, String name, String... items) {                                                                  
    this.id = id;                                                                                                              
    this.name = name;                                                                                                          
    this.items = items;                                                                                                        
    logInfo("\nMultiparameter method:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
    return System.currentTimeMillis();                                                                                         
}

    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

}

private boolean resetWithBooleanReturn(String id, String name, String... items) {                                                                  
    this.id = id;                                                                                                                                  
    this.name = name;                                                                                                                              
    this.items = items;                                                                                                                            
    logInfo("\nMultiparameter method with boolean return:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
    return true;                                                                                                                                   
}                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                   
private boolean resetWithBooleanReturn(String name, String... items) {                                                                             
    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();                                                                                                        
    this.name = name;                                                                                                                              
    this.items = items;                                                                                                                            
    logInfo("\nMultiparameter method with boolean return:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
    return true;                                                                                                                                   
}                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                   
private boolean resetWithBooleanReturn(String... name) {                                                                                           
    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

    this.items = null;                                                                                                                             
    logInfo("\nSingle parameter varargs method with boolean return:\n\tname: {}", this.name);                                                      
    return true;                                                                                                                                   
}                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                   
private boolean resetWithBooleanReturn(String name) {                                                                                              
    this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

    return true;                                                                                                                                   
}       

… And now let’s see the code needed to bind and call the generated functional interfaces:

ComponentContainer componentContainer = ComponentContainer.getInstance();                                                                     
FunctionalInterfaceFactory fIF = componentContainer.getFunctionalInterfaceFactory();                                                          
                                                                                                                                              
MultiParamsPredicate methodInvokerZero = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "resetWithBooleanReturn", String.class, String.class, String[].class);
boolean executed = methodInvokerZero.test(service, UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Service Zero New Name", new String[] {"item 3", "item 4"}); 
                                                                                                                                              
MultiParamsPredicate methodInvokerOne = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "resetWithBooleanReturn", String.class, String[].class);               
executed = methodInvokerOne.test(service, "Service One", new String[] {"item 1", "item 2"});                                                  
                                                                                                                                              
BiPredicate<Service, String[]> methodInvokerTwo = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "resetWithBooleanReturn", String[].class);                   
executed = methodInvokerTwo.test(service, new String[] {"Service Two"});                                                                      
                                                                                                                                              
BiPredicate<Service, String> methodInvokerThree = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "resetWithBooleanReturn", String.class);                     
executed = methodInvokerThree.test(service, "Service Three");                                                                                 
                                                                                                                                              
Predicate<Service> methodInvokerFour = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "resetWithBooleanReturn");                                              
executed = methodInvokerFour.test(service);
