How to get id by Object instance

[nathanleewei]

<object id="objectId" class="com.xxx.xxx.AbcObject" />

Now I have got the instance of the object abcObject.

how can I get the id-"objectId" of it in xml config file?

Thanks

var clazz:Class=Class(getDefinitionByName(getQualified ClassName(object)));
var objectNames:Array=this._applicationContext.getObje ctNamesForType(clazz);
for(var j:int=0;j<objectNames.length;j++) {
var objectName:String = objectNames[j];
if(object==this._applicationContext.getObject(obje ctName)){
//do with objectName;
}
}

Hey Nathan,

please keep in mind that the code you've posted will only work on objects that have been marked as singletons. Non-singleton objects will yield a new instance everytime you call _applicationContext.getObject().

If you want to keep track of those you will have to create your own mechanism that keeps track of what object belongs to which object id.

I guess something like this could work:

var objectName:String = 'SomeObjectId';
var objectIdRegistry:Dictionary = new Dictionary(true);
var object:Object = _applicationContext.getObject(objectName);
objectIdRegistry[object] = objectName;

than somewhere else in your code if you want to know the object id that the object originated from:

var objectName:String = objectIdRegistry[object] as String;

That way you can keep track of both singletons and prototyped objects.

Hope that helps a little,

cheers,

Roland
