Allows the application to dynamically obtain instances of beans with a specified combination of required type and qualifiers.
In certain situations, injection is not the most convenient way to obtain a contextual reference. For example, it may not be used when:
In these situations, an instance of the Instance may be injected:
@Inject Instance<PaymentProcessor> paymentProcessor;
Any combination of qualifiers may be specified at the injection point:
@Inject @PayBy(CHEQUE) Instance<PaymentProcessor> chequePaymentProcessor;
Or, the &.064;Any qualifier may
be used, allowing the application to specify qualifiers dynamically:
@Inject @Any Instance<PaymentProcessor> anyPaymentProcessor;
Finally, the &.064;New qualifier
may be used, allowing the application to obtain a
&.064;New qualified bean:
@Inject @New(ChequePaymentProcessor.class) Instance<PaymentProcessor> chequePaymentProcessor;
For an injected Instance:
The inherited method returns a
contextual references for the unique bean that matches the required
type and required qualifiers and is eligible for injection into the
class into which the parent Instance was injected, or throws
an javax.inject.Provider.get() or
