ExamReactor

org.ops4j.pax.exam.spi.ExamReactor
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

Part of the Plumbing Level API. The container creation control process needs a higher level control. Instead of directly creating containers out of org.ops4j.pax.exam.TestContainerFactory it is recommended to use ExamReactor instead.

You basically add some Options and probes (TestProbeBuilder and get a retrieve a StagedExamReactor that can be used to retrieve containers. Now its up to the reactor and its configuration when to use and re-use the TestContainers.

abstract void addProbe(TestProbeBuilder builder)
Add the probe that contribute to desired container(s) you will get after calling stage(StagedExamReactorFactory).
abstract StagedExamReactor stage(StagedExamReactorFactory factory)
Last thing you parseForTests on the reactor usually.
