| /** |
| * Represents a service locator for lazy init proxies. When the first method invocation occurs on |
| * the lazy init proxy this locator will be used to retrieve the proxy target object that will |
| * receive the method invocation. |
| * <p> |
| * Generally implementations should be small when serialized because the main purpose of lazy init |
| * proxies is to be stored in session when the wicket pages are serialized, and when deserialized to |
| * be able to lookup the dependency again. The smaller the implementation of IProxyTargetLocator the |
| * less the drain on session size. |
| * <p> |
| * A small implementation may use a static lookup to retrieve the target object. |
| * <p> |
| * Example: |
| * |
| * <pre> |
| * class UserServiceLocator implements IProxyTargetLocator |
| * { |
| * Object locateProxyObject() |
| * { |
| * MyApplication app = (MyApplication)Application.get(); |
| * return app.getUserService(); |
| * } |
| * } |
| * </pre> |
