Interface ProductDerivation

All Known Subinterfaces:

OpenJPAProductDerivation

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractProductDerivation, JDBCPersistenceProductDerivation, JDBCProductDerivation, PersistenceProductDerivation

public interface ProductDerivation

Hooks for deriving products with additional functionality. Parses configuration information from global, default or explictly-specified resources. All implementations of this interface will have a chance to mutate a Configuration both before and after the user-specified configuration data is loaded. The order in which the product derivations are evaluated is determined by the specificity of the derivation type.

0.4.1

Field Summary

static int	TYPE_FEATURE
static int	TYPE_PRODUCT

Method Summary

boolean	afterSpecificationSet(Configuration conf) Called after the specification has been set.
boolean	beforeConfigurationConstruct(ConfigurationProvider cp) Provides the instance with a callback to mutate the initial properties of the ConfigurationProvider.
boolean	beforeConfigurationLoad(Configuration conf) Provides the instance with the opportunity to mutate conf before the user configuration is applied.
String	getConfigurationPrefix() Return the configuration prefix for properties of this product.
int	getType() Return the type of derivation.
ConfigurationProvider	load(File file, String anchor) Load given file, or return null if it is not a file this receiver understands.
ConfigurationProvider	load(String resource, String anchor, ClassLoader loader) Load the given given resource into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if it is not a resource this receiver understands.
ConfigurationProvider	loadDefaults(ClassLoader loader) Load defaults into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if no defaults are found.
ConfigurationProvider	loadGlobals(ClassLoader loader) Load globals into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if no globals are found.

Method Detail

getType

int getType()

Return the type of derivation.

getConfigurationPrefix

String getConfigurationPrefix()

Return the configuration prefix for properties of this product.

loadGlobals

ConfigurationProvider loadGlobals(ClassLoader loader)
                                  throws Exception

Load globals into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if no globals are found.

Throws:

Exception

loadDefaults

ConfigurationProvider loadDefaults(ClassLoader loader)
                                   throws Exception

Load defaults into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if no defaults are found.

Throws:

Exception

load

ConfigurationProvider load(String resource,
                           String anchor,
                           ClassLoader loader)
                           throws Exception

Load the given given resource into the returned ConfigurationProvider, or return null if it is not a resource this receiver understands. The given class loader may be null.

Parameters:

anchor - optional named anchor within a multiple-configuration resource

Throws:

Exception

load

ConfigurationProvider load(File file,
                           String anchor)
                           throws Exception

Load given file, or return null if it is not a file this receiver understands.

Parameters:

anchor - optional named anchor within a multiple-configuration file

Throws:

Exception

beforeConfigurationConstruct

boolean beforeConfigurationConstruct(ConfigurationProvider cp)

Provides the instance with a callback to mutate the initial properties of the ConfigurationProvider. This is primarily to alter or add properties that determine what type of configuration is constructed, and therefore is typically used at runtime only.

Returns:

true if given ConfigurationProvider has been mutated.

beforeConfigurationLoad

boolean beforeConfigurationLoad(Configuration conf)

Provides the instance with the opportunity to mutate conf before the user configuration is applied.

Returns:

true if given Configuration has been mutated.

afterSpecificationSet

boolean afterSpecificationSet(Configuration conf)

Called after the specification has been set.

Returns:

true if given Configuration has been mutated.
