How to bind methods or constructors to functional interfaces in Java

Posted on December 8, 2020
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. First of all we must add the following dependency to our pom.xml:
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);
}
private Service(String name) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = name;
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter constructor:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
}
private Service() {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = "no name";
this.items = null;
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();
}
private Long reset(String name, String... items) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
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();
}
private Long reset(String... name) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = name[0];
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter varargs method:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
return System.currentTimeMillis();
}
private Long reset(String name) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = name;
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter method:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
return System.currentTimeMillis();
}
private Long reset() {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = "no name";
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nNo parameter method:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
return System.currentTimeMillis();
}
... 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<Long> methodInvokerZero = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "reset", String.class, String.class, String[].class);
Long currentTimeMillis = methodInvokerZero.apply(service, UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Service Zero New Name", new String[] {"item 3", "item 4"});
MultiParamsFunction<Long> methodInvokerOne = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "reset", String.class, String[].class);
currentTimeMillis = methodInvokerOne.apply(service, "Service One", new String[] {"item 1", "item 2"});
BiFunction<Service, String[], Long> methodInvokerTwo = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "reset", String[].class);
currentTimeMillis = methodInvokerTwo.apply(service, new String[] {"Service Two"});
BiFunction<Service, String, Long> methodInvokerThree = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "reset", String.class);
currentTimeMillis = methodInvokerThree.apply(service, "Service Three");
Function<Service, Long> methodInvokerFour = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "reset");
currentTimeMillis = methodInvokerFour.apply(service);
Void methods binding
To bind void methods to functional interfaces we will use the following methods:
private void voidReset(String id, String name, String... items) {
this.id = id;
this.name = name;
this.items = items;
logInfo("\nMultiparameter void method:\n\tid: {}\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.id, this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
}
private void voidReset(String name, String... items) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = name;
this.items = items;
logInfo("\nMultiparameter void method:\n\tname: {} \n\titems: {}", this.name, String.join(", ", this.items));
}
private void voidReset(String... name) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = name[0];
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter void varargs method:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
}
private void voidReset(String name) {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = "no name";
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter void method:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
}
private void voidReset() {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = "no name";
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nNo parameter void method:\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();
MultiParamsConsumer methodInvokerZero = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "voidReset", String.class, String.class, String[].class);
methodInvokerZero.accept(service, UUID.randomUUID().toString(), "Service Zero New Name", new String[] {"item 3", "item 4"});
MultiParamsConsumer methodInvokerOne = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "voidReset", String.class, String[].class);
methodInvokerOne.accept(service, "Service One", new String[] {"item 1", "item 2"});
BiConsumer<Service, String[]> methodInvokerTwo = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "voidReset", String[].class);
methodInvokerTwo.accept(service, new String[] {"Service Two"});
BiConsumer<Service, String> methodInvokerThree = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "voidReset", String.class);
methodInvokerThree.accept(service, "Service Three");
Consumer<Service> methodInvokerFour = fIF.getOrCreate(Service.class, "voidReset");
methodInvokerFour.accept(service);
Binding to methods with boolean return
To bind methods with boolean return to functional interfaces we will use the following methods:
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.name = name[0];
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();
this.name = name;
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nSingle parameter method with boolean return:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
return true;
}
private boolean resetWithBooleanReturn() {
this.id = UUID.randomUUID().toString();
this.name = "no name";
this.items = null;
logInfo("\nNo parameter method with boolean return:\n\tname: {}", this.name);
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);
