      Any existing map-entries are retained.

      Parameters:
      other - provides entries that are added to the current map

    • addFrom

      public void addFrom(List<? extends NameValue<?>> listNamedInstances) throws BeanMisconfiguredException
      Populates from a list of NamedBean.

      Any existing map-entries are retained.

      Parameters:
      listNamedInstances - list of NamedBean. The name of each bean maps to the class in the map.
      Throws:
      BeanMisconfiguredException - if the list of NamedBean contains an invalid class.
