Annotation Type ConfigProperty

@Target(value={PARAMETER,FIELD,METHOD,CONSTRUCTOR,ANNOTATION_TYPE})
 @Retention(value=RUNTIME)
 @Documented
 @Qualifier
public @interface ConfigProperty

This Qualifier allows simple injection of configuration properties through the DeltaSpike configuration mechanism.

A default implementation is provided in DeltaSpike for basic String injection points:

   @Inject @ConfigProperty(name="locationId")
   private String locationId;
 

It's possible to use config properties in a type-safe manner, which requires a custom producer:

   @Target({FIELD, METHOD})
   @Retention(RUNTIME)
   @ConfigProperty(name = "locationId")
   @Qualifier
   public @interface Location {
   }
 

   @Location
   private String locationId;
 

   @ApplicationScoped
   public class CustomConfigPropertyProducer extends BaseConfigPropertyProducer {
     @Produces
     @Dependent
     @Location
     public String produceLocationId(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
       String configuredValue = getStringPropertyValue(injectionPoint);
       if (configuredValue == null) {
         return null;
       }
       return configuredValue;
     }
   }
 

Producers can be implemented to support other types of injection points:

   @Inject
   @Location
   private LocationId locationId;
 

   @ApplicationScoped
   public class CustomConfigPropertyProducer extends BaseConfigPropertyProducer {
     @Produces
     @Dependent
     @Location
     public LocationId produceLocationId(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
       String configuredValue = getStringPropertyValue(injectionPoint);
       if (configuredValue == null) {
         return null;
       }
       return LocationId.valueOf(configuredValue.trim().toUpperCase());
     }
   }
 

For custom producer implementations, BaseConfigPropertyProducer can be used as the base class.
