Constructor Detail

RuleSet

public RuleSet(String name,
               String description,
               String classname,
               String[] classpath,
               String providerUri,
               String ruleSetUri,
               String rules,
               Map<String,Object> properties)

Create a JSR-94 rule set definition.

Parameters:

name - the name of the rule set, which is considered the unique identifier

description - the description

classname - the name of the Java class used for the component

classpath - the optional classpath (defined in a way compatible with a ClassLoaderFactory

providerUri - the URI of the JSR-94 RuleServiceProvider implementation to use

ruleSetUri - the URI of the JSR-94 RuleExecutionSet represented by this object; if null, the name is used

rules - the string containing the rules in a provider-specific language

properties - the provider-specific properties, whose values should be strings or byte arrays (the latter if the provider expects an Reader with the value)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any of the name, classname, provider URI, or rules parameters are null, empty or blank, or if the classname is not a valid Java classname

Method Detail

getProviderUri

public String getProviderUri()

Get the URI of the JSR-94 RuleServiceProvider implementation that should be used.

Returns:

the URI of the JSR-94 implementation; never null, empty or blank

getRuleSetUri

public String getRuleSetUri()

Get the URI of this rule set. The value must be valid as defined by JSR-94 RuleExecutionSet.

Returns:

the rule set's URI; never null, empty or blank

getRules

public String getRules()

Get the rules defined in terms of the language reqired by the provider.

Returns:

the rules for this rule set

getProperties

public Map<String,Object> getProperties()

Get this rule set's properties as an unmodifiable map. Note that the values of these properties are either strings if the value is to be passed literally, or a byte array if the value is to be passed as an InputStream.

Returns:

the unmodifiable properties; never null but possible empty

getExecutionSetProperties

public Map<Object,Object> getExecutionSetProperties()

Get the properties for this rule set that can be passed to an RuleExecutionSetProvider's createRuleExecutionSet method.

This method converts any byte array value in the properties into an Reader. Since ByteArrayInputStream is used, there is no need to close these stream.

Returns:

the properties; never null but possible empty

hasChanged

public boolean hasChanged(org.jboss.dna.common.component.ComponentConfig obj)

Overrides:

hasChanged in class org.jboss.dna.common.component.ComponentConfig

clone

public RuleSet clone()

Overrides:

clone in class Object
