Constructor Detail

ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder

public ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder()

If this constructor is used then HK2 descriptor files will be found by looking in the classpath of the process. The classloader used will be the classloader for this class itself. The names of the files found will be META-INF/hk2-locator/default.

This is most commonly used when using HK2 from a stand-alone client in which all the JAR files are on a single classpath

ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder

public ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder(ClassLoader cl)

This constructor can be used to select the particular classloader to search for HK2 descriptor files. The names of the the files found in this classloader will be META-INF/hk2-locator/default.

This is commonly used in more complex classloading scenarios where the HK2 descriptor files are not necessarily on the system classpath.

Parameters:

cl - May not be null and must be the classloader to use when searching for HK2 descriptor files

ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder

public ClasspathDescriptorFileFinder(ClassLoader cl,
                                     String... names)

This constructor can be used to select the particular classloader to search for HK2 descriptor files. The names of the the files found in this classloader will be META-INF/hk2-locator/name.

Parameters:

cl - May not be null and must be the classloader to use when searching for HK2 descriptor files

names - May not be null and must be the name of the files to search for in the META-INF/hk2-locator directory

Method Detail

findDescriptorFiles

public List<InputStream> findDescriptorFiles()
                                      throws IOException

Simple implementation of the findDescriptorFiles which does a simple getResources on the classloader in order to find the hk2 descriptor files

Specified by:

findDescriptorFiles in interface DescriptorFileFinder

Returns:

A non-null (but possibly empty) list of InputStreams for hk2 inhabitant files

Throws:

IOException - If there was an error finding the hk2 inhabitant files

getDescriptorFileInformation

public List<String> getDescriptorFileInformation()

Description copied from interface: DescriptorFileFinderInformation

This list must have the same cardinality as DescriptorFileFinder.findDescriptorFiles(). The Strings returned from this list must give identifying information about the InputStream with the same index. For example, if the InputStream is from a URL then the toString of the URL would be appropriate. If the InputStream is from a File then the Absolute path to that file might be appropriate

Specified by:

getDescriptorFileInformation in interface DescriptorFileFinderInformation

Returns:

Identifying information about the InputStream returned by DescriptorFileFinder.findDescriptorFiles() correlated by index

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
