public Enumeration<URL> getResources(String name)
                              throws IOException

getArtifactName

public String getArtifactName()

Specified by:

getArtifactName in interface ArtifactClassLoader

Returns:

the artifact unique identifier

findResource

public URL findResource(String name)

Specified by:

findResource in interface ApplicationClassLoader

Specified by:

findResource in interface ArtifactClassLoader

Overrides:

findResource in class ClassLoader

Parameters:

name - name of the resource to find.

Returns:

the resource URL, null if it doesn't exists.

findLocalResource

public URL findLocalResource(String resourceName)

Description copied from interface: LocalResourceLocator

This method finds a resource in the local environment for this artifact, if the resource is not found and the artifact has a parent artifact then the operation is resolved by that parent, if there is no parent, the resources is searched in the global environment.

Specified by:

findLocalResource in interface LocalResourceLocator

Parameters:

resourceName - name of the resource to find.

Returns:

the resource URL, null if it doesn't exists.

getClassLoader

public ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Description copied from interface: ArtifactClassLoader

ClassLoader is an abstract class. Not an interface. There are parts of the code that requires a ClassLoader and others that requires an ArtifactClassLoader. Ideally I would make ArtifactClassLoader implement ClassLoader interface but there's no such interface. So if I have a method that requires a ClassLoader instance and an ArtifactClassLoader I would have to down cast and assume that it can be down casted or send two parameters, one for the ClassLoader and one for the ArtifactClassLoader: public void doSomething(ArtifactClassLoader acl) { doSomething2(acl); //this requires an ArtifactClassLoader doSomething3((ClassLoader)acl); //this requires a ClassLoader } public void doSomething(ArtifactClassLoader acl, ClassLoader cl) { doSomething2(acl); //this requires an ArtifactClassLoader doSomething3(cl); //this requires a ClassLoader } To overcome that problem seems much better to have a method in ArtifactClassLoader that can actually return a ClassLoader instance: public void doSomething(ArtifactClassLoader acl) { doSomething2(acl); //this requires an ArtifactClassLoader doSomething3(acl.getDomainClassLoader()); //this requires a ClassLoader }

Specified by:

getClassLoader in interface ArtifactClassLoader

Returns:

class loader to use for this artifact.

dispose

public void dispose()

Description copied from interface: DisposableClassLoader

Gets rid of the class loader resources.

Specified by:

dispose in interface DisposableClassLoader

addShutdownListener

public void addShutdownListener(ShutdownListener listener)

Description copied from interface: ArtifactClassLoader

Adds a shutdown listener to the class loader. This listener will be invoked synchronously right before the class loader is disposed and closed.

Specified by:

addShutdownListener in interface ArtifactClassLoader
