Class SPIClassIterator<S>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.lucene.util.SPIClassIterator<S>

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Iterator<java.lang.Class<? extends S>>

public final class SPIClassIterator<S>
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.util.Iterator<java.lang.Class<? extends S>>

Helper class for loading SPI classes from classpath (META-INF files). This is a light impl of ServiceLoader but is guaranteed to be bug-free regarding classpath order and does not instantiate or initialize the classes found.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <S> SPIClassIterator<S>	get(java.lang.Class<S> clazz)
static <S> SPIClassIterator<S>	get(java.lang.Class<S> clazz, java.lang.ClassLoader loader)
boolean	hasNext()
static boolean	isParentClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parent, java.lang.ClassLoader child) Utility method to check if some class loader is a (grand-)parent of or the same as another one.
java.lang.Class<? extends S>	next()
void	remove()

Method Detail

get

public static <S> SPIClassIterator<S> get(java.lang.Class<S> clazz)

get

public static <S> SPIClassIterator<S> get(java.lang.Class<S> clazz,
                                          java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

isParentClassLoader

public static boolean isParentClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parent,
                                          java.lang.ClassLoader child)

Utility method to check if some class loader is a (grand-)parent of or the same as another one. This means the child will be able to load all classes from the parent, too.
