This example shows the usage of the @Produces annotation. @Produces is a CDI mechanism which allows defining a source for injection. This example shows one of two ways of declaring a producer. Instead of a producer method (see CDI-produces-disposes example) a producer field can be used. A producer field can be used instead of a simple getter method. It could be used to inject resources, such as persistence contexts. One caveat to using producer fields over producer methods is that a @Disposes method cannot be used in conjunction with @Produces field.

For the purposes of this example, the type is hard-coded to a specific value. A Logger implementation shall contain a list of LogHandlers. We shall have three implementations of the LogHandler interface.

  • A DatabaseHandler

  • A FileHandler

  • A ConsoleHandler

The DatabaseHandler would seemingly write the logs to a database. The FileHandler would write the same logs to a file. The ConsoleHandler would just print the logs to a console (Standard out). This example is just an illustration of how the concepts within CDI work and is not intended to provide a logging framework design/implementation.

ConsoleHandler

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

public class ConsoleHandler implements LogHandler {

    private String name;

    public ConsoleHandler(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeLog(String s) {
        System.out.printf("##### Handler: %s, Writing to the console!\n", getName());
    }
}

DatabaseHandler

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

public class DatabaseHandler implements LogHandler {

    private String name;

    public DatabaseHandler(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeLog(String s) {
        System.out.printf("##### Handler: %s, Writing to the database!\n", getName());
        // Use connection to write log to database
    }
}

FileHandler

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

public class FileHandler implements LogHandler {

    private String name;

    public FileHandler(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    @Override
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }

    @Override
    public void writeLog(String s) {
        System.out.printf("##### Handler: %s, Writing to the file!\n", getName());
        // Write to log file
    }
}

LogFactory

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

import jakarta.enterprise.inject.Produces;

public class LogFactory {

    private int type = 2;

    @Produces
    LogHandler handler;

    public LogFactory(){
    	handler = getLogHandler();
    }

    public LogHandler getLogHandler() {
        switch (type) {
            case 1:
                return new FileHandler("@Produces created FileHandler!");
            case 2:
                return new DatabaseHandler("@Produces created DatabaseHandler!");
            case 3:
            default:
                return new ConsoleHandler("@Produces created ConsoleHandler!");
        }

    }
}

Logger

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

public interface Logger {

    public void log(String s);

    public LogHandler getHandler();
}

LoggerImpl

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

import jakarta.inject.Inject;
import jakarta.inject.Named;

@Named("logger")
public class LoggerImpl implements Logger {

    @Inject
    private LogHandler handler;

    @Override
    public void log(String s) {
        getHandler().writeLog(s);
    }

    public LogHandler getHandler() {
        return handler;
    }
}

LogHandler

package org.superbiz.cdi.produces.field;

public interface LogHandler {

    public String getName();

    public void writeLog(String s);
}

LoggerTest

        logger = null;
    }
