I've added this | public interface GraphController | { | /** | * Get the context. | * | * @param name the context name | * @param state the required state | * @param info the seatch info | * @return found context or null if not available | * @throws Throwable for any error | */ | ControllerContext getContext(Object name, ControllerState state, SearchInfo info) throws Throwable; | where normally Controller(Impl) would implement this interface. And then decide on passed SearchInfo param what to do. e.g. implement the SearchInfo::type itself - due to some private/protected modifiers, internal info or let SearchInfo's strategy handle the lookup. In my current impl, I let strategy handle all different lookups. | DEFAULT(new DefaultSearchInfoWrapper()), | LOCAL(new LocalLookupStrategy()), | TOP(new TopLevelLookupStrategy()), | PARENT(new ParentOnlyLookupStrategy()), | DEPTH(new DepthLookupStrategy()), | LEAVES(new LeavesFirstLookupStrategy()), | WIDTH(new WidthLookupStrategy()), | CHILD_ONLY_DEPTH(new ChildrenOnlyDepthLookupStrategy()), | CHILD_ONLY_LEAVES(new ChildrenOnlyLeavesFirstLookupStrategy()), | CHILD_ONLY_WIDTH(new ChildrenOnlyWidthLookupStrategy()); | But I still don't see where to pass-in this search type info? I could add new annotation (@SearchType(Search)), which I would only handle in my annotation plugins, but not in XML (too much hassle to get ValueMetaData owner for this simple use case).
