Class ElementSource
element
was bound.
The declaring source
refers to a location in source code that
defines the Guice element
. For example, if the element is created from a method
annotated by @Provides, the declaring source of element would be the method itself.
The sequence of class names of modules
involved in the
element creation can be retrieved by getModuleClassNames()
. The order of the module
class names is reverse chronological. The first module (index 0) is the module that installs the
element
. The last module is the root module.
In order to support the cases where a Guice element
is created from another
Guice element
(original) (e.g., by Element.applyTo(com.google.inject.Binder)
), it also provides a
reference to the original element source (getOriginalElementSource()
).
