All Implemented Interfaces:: ComponentDefinitionsFactory, java.io.Serializable

public class ReloadableDefinitionsFactory
extends java.lang.Object
implements ComponentDefinitionsFactory

A reloadable factory. This factory is the main entrance to any factory implementation. It takes in charge real implementation instance, and allows reloading by creating a new instance.

                                    javax.servlet.ServletConfig servletConfig)
                             throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Constructor. Create a factory according to servlet settings.

Parameters:: servletContext - Our servlet context.; servletConfig - Our servlet config.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - If factory creation fail.

ReloadableDefinitionsFactory

public ReloadableDefinitionsFactory(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                                    java.util.Map properties)
                             throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Constructor. Create a factory according to servlet settings.

Parameters:: servletContext - Our servlet context.; properties - Map containing all properties.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - If factory creation fail.

Method Detail

createFactoryFromClassname

public ComponentDefinitionsFactory createFactoryFromClassname(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                                                              java.util.Map properties,
                                                              java.lang.String classname)
                                                       throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Create Definition factory from provided classname. If a factory class name is provided, a factory of this class is created. Otherwise, a default factory is created. Factory must have a constructor taking ServletContext and Map as parameter.

Parameters:: classname - Class name of the factory to create.; servletContext - Servlet Context passed to newly created factory.; properties - Map of name/property passed to newly created factory.
Returns:: newly created factory.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - If an error occur while initializing factory

createDefaultFactory

public ComponentDefinitionsFactory createDefaultFactory(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                                                        java.util.Map properties)
                                                 throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Create default Definition factory. Factory must have a constructor taking ServletContext and Map as parameter. In this implementation, default factory is of class I18nFactorySet

Parameters:: servletContext - Servlet Context passed to newly created factory.; properties - Map of name/property passed to newly created factory.
Returns:: newly created factory.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - If an error occur while initializing factory

createFactory

public ComponentDefinitionsFactory createFactory(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                                                 java.util.Map properties)
                                          throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Create Definition factory. Convenience method. ServletConfig is wrapped into a Map allowing retrieval of init parameters. Factory classname is also retrieved, as well as debug level. Finally, approriate createDefinitionsFactory() is called.

Parameters:: servletContext - Servlet Context passed to newly created factory.; properties - Map containing all properties.

getDefinition

public ComponentDefinition getDefinition(java.lang.String definitionName,
                                         javax.servlet.ServletRequest request,
                                         javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext)
                                  throws FactoryNotFoundException,
                                         DefinitionsFactoryException

Get a definition by its name. Call appropriate method on underlying factory instance. Throw appropriate exception if definition or definition factory is not found.

Specified by:: getDefinition in interface ComponentDefinitionsFactory

Parameters:: definitionName - Name of requested definition.; request - Current servlet request.; servletContext - Current servlet context.
Throws:: FactoryNotFoundException - Can't find definition factory.; DefinitionsFactoryException - General error in factory while getting definition.

reload

public void reload(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext)
            throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Reload underlying factory. Reload is done by creating a new factory instance, and replacing the old instance with the new one.

Parameters:: servletContext - Current servlet context.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - If factory creation fails.

getFactory

public ComponentDefinitionsFactory getFactory()

Get underlying factory instance.

Returns:: ComponentDefinitionsFactory

initFactory

public void initFactory(javax.servlet.ServletContext servletContext,
                        java.util.Map properties)
                 throws DefinitionsFactoryException

Init factory. This method is required by interface ComponentDefinitionsFactory. It is not used in this implementation, as it manages itself the underlying creation and initialization.

Specified by:: initFactory in interface ComponentDefinitionsFactory

Parameters:: servletContext - Servlet Context passed to newly created factory.; properties - Map of name/property passed to newly created factory. Map can contain more properties than requested.
Throws:: DefinitionsFactoryException - An error occur during initialization.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return String representation.

Overrides:: toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:: String representation.
