[izpack-user] the AutomatedInstallData.getInstance() method disappeared

[Julian Fawcett]

In 5.0.0-beta11 the AutomatedInstallData.getInstance() method has vanished.

It is not even deprecated - it has completely gone.

 

It was there in 5.0.0-beta1 and was still there in 5.0.0-beta9, but now it is no more.

 

Can anyone explain why it has gone, and what the alternatives are for any code that was relying on it? I have been using it to get the InstallData object from inside one of my custom InstallerListener classes. I can't see any other way of accessing it.

 

Thanks for any help.

I believe, you can use com.izforge.izpack.api.data.InstallData  as drop in replacement.

Thanks for your reply. I should have mentioned in my original post though that the getInstance() method of com.izforge.izpack.api.data.InstallData also seems to have disappeared.

5.0 is the result of a refactoring from the root. Picocontainer is used now and instance creation happens in a completely different manner by dependency inhection. Explicit instantiatiom of *InstallData has been removed. The advantages of this approach can be found on picocontainer.org.

Nevertheless, not all essential classes have been migrated to instantiation using picocontainer.

Installer listeners can have most objects injected at construction e.g.:

import com.izforge.izpack.api.data.InstallData;

public class MyListener extends AbstractInstallerListener {

    private final InstallData installData;

    public MyListener(InstallData installData) {
        this.installlData = installData;       
    }
}

I am upgrading my installer from 4x to 5x. I used automatedInstallData.getInstace in one of my executable class which I am running from process panel.In 5x this API is no more available. How could I solve this issue? I require this instance to get variables as I have to alter the value of some of variable based on some condition.

Thanks
