Constructor Detail

ASURLClassLoader

public ASURLClassLoader()

Constructor.

ASURLClassLoader

public ASURLClassLoader(ClassLoader parent)

Constructor.

Parameters:

parent - parent class loader

Method Detail

isDone

public boolean isDone()

preDestroy

public void preDestroy()

Specified by:

preDestroy in interface org.glassfish.hk2.api.PreDestroy

done

public void done()

This method should be called to free up the resources. It helps garbage collection. Must be synchronized for: (a) visibility of variables (b) race condition while checking 'doneCalled' (c) only one caller should close the zip files, (d) done should occur only once and set the flag when done. (e) shoudl not return 'true' when a previous thread might still be in the process of executing the method.

appendURL

public void appendURL(File file)
               throws IOException

Adds a URL to the search list, based on the specified File.

This variant of the method makes sure that the URL is valid, in particular encoding special characters (such as blanks) in the file path.

Parameters:

file - the File to use in creating the URL

Throws:

IOException - in case of errors converting the file to a URL

addURL

public void addURL(URL url)

Appends the specified URL to the list of URLs to search for classes and resources.

Overrides:

addURL in class URLClassLoader

Parameters:

url - the URL to be added to the search path of URLs

appendURL

public void appendURL(URL url)

Add a url to the list of urls we search for a class's bytecodes.

Parameters:

url - url to be added

getURLs

public URL[] getURLs()

Returns the urls of this class loader. Method is 'synchronized' to avoid the thread-unsafe null-check idiom idiom, also protects the caller from simultaneous changes while iterating, by returning a URL[] (copy) rather than the original. Also protects against changes to 'urlSet' while iterating over it.

Specified by:

getURLs in interface JasperAdapter

Overrides:

getURLs in class URLClassLoader

Returns:

the urls of this class loader or an empty array

getClasspath

public String getClasspath()

Returns all the "file" protocol resources of this ASURLClassLoader, concatenated to a classpath string. Notice that this method is called by the setClassPath() method of org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappLoader, since this ASURLClassLoader does not extend off of URLClassLoader.

Returns:

Classpath string containing all the "file" protocol resources of this ASURLClassLoader

refresh

public void refresh()
             throws IOException

Refreshes the memory of the class loader. This involves clearing the not-found cahces and recreating the hash tables for the URLEntries that record the files accessible for each.

Code that creates an ASURLClassLoader and then adds files to a directory that is in the loader's classpath should invoke this method after the new file(s) have been added in order to update the class loader's data structures which optimize class and resource searches.

Throws:

IOException - in case of errors refreshing the cache

addTransformer

public void addTransformer(ClassFileTransformer transformer)

Specified by:

addTransformer in interface org.glassfish.api.deployment.InstrumentableClassLoader

copy

public ClassLoader copy()

Create a new instance of a sibling classloader

Specified by:

copy in interface org.glassfish.api.deployment.InstrumentableClassLoader

Returns:

a new instance of a class loader that has the same visibility as this class loader

findResource

public URL findResource(String name)

Overrides:

findResource in class URLClassLoader

findResources

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

Returns an enumeration of java.net.URL objects representing all the resources with the given name. This method is synchronized to avoid (a) race condition checking 'doneCalled', (b) changes to contents or length of 'resourcesList' and/or 'notFoundResources' while iterating over them, (c) thread visibility to all of the above.

Overrides:

findResources in class URLClassLoader

Throws:

IOException

addEEPermissions

public void addEEPermissions(PermissionCollection eePc)
                      throws SecurityException

Description copied from interface: DDPermissionsLoader

Pass the EE permission to the classloader

Specified by:

addEEPermissions in interface DDPermissionsLoader

Parameters:

eePc - EE permissions throws AccessControlException if caller has no privilege

Throws:

SecurityException

addDeclaredPermissions

public void addDeclaredPermissions(PermissionCollection declaredPc)
                            throws SecurityException

Description copied from interface: DDPermissionsLoader

Pass the declared permission collection from the module handler to the classloader

Specified by:

addDeclaredPermissions in interface DDPermissionsLoader

Parameters:

declaredPc - the declared permission collection obtained from permissions.xml file throws AccessControlException if caller has no privilege

Throws:

SecurityException

getPermissions

protected PermissionCollection getPermissions(CodeSource codeSource)

Overrides:

getPermissions in class URLClassLoader

findClass

protected Class findClass(String name)
                   throws ClassNotFoundException

THREAD SAFETY: what happens when more than one thread requests the same class and thus works on the same classData? Or defines the same package? Maybe the same work just gets done twice, and that's all. CAUTION: this method might be overriden, and subclasses must be cautious (also) about thread safety.

Overrides:

findClass in class URLClassLoader

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

findClassData

protected com.sun.enterprise.loader.ASURLClassLoader.ClassData findClassData(String name)
                                                                      throws ClassNotFoundException

This method is responsible for locating the url from the class bytes have to be read and reading the bytes. It does not actually define the Class object.

To preclude a race condition on checking 'doneCalled', as well as transient errors if done() is called while running, this method is 'synchronized'.

Parameters:

name - class name in java.lang.Object format

Returns:

class bytes as well protection domain information

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

getClassLoaderName

protected String getClassLoaderName()

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this class loader.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this class loader

getResourceAsStream

public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)

Overrides:

getResourceAsStream in class URLClassLoader
