GroovyClassLoader.InnerLoader

public class GroovyClassLoader
extends URLClassLoader

A ClassLoader which can load Groovy classes. The loaded classes are cached, classes from other classloaders should not be cached. To be able to load a script that was asked for earlier but was created later it is essential not to keep anything like a "class not found" information for that class name. This includes possible parent loaders. Classes that are not cached are always reloaded.

getClassCacheEntry(String), setClassCacheEntry(Class), clearCache()

addURL

public void addURL(URL url)

adds a URL to the classloader.

Overrides:

addURL in class URLClassLoader

Parameters:

url - the new classpath element

isRecompilable

protected boolean isRecompilable(Class cls)

Indicates if a class is recompilable. Recompilable means, that the classloader will try to locate a groovy source file for this class and then compile it again, adding the resulting class as entry to the cache. Giving null as class is like a recompilation, so the method should always return true here. Only classes that are implementing GroovyObject are compilable and only if the timestamp in the class is lower than Long.MAX_VALUE.

NOTE: First the parent loaders will be asked and only if they don't return a class the recompilation will happen. Recompilation also only happen if the source file is newer.

Parameters:

cls - the class to be tested. If null the method should return true

Returns:

true if the class should be compiled again

See Also:

isSourceNewer(URL, Class)

setShouldRecompile

public void setShouldRecompile(Boolean mode)

sets if the recompilation should be enable. There are 3 possible values for this. Any value different than null overrides the value from the compiler configuration. true means to recompile if needed false means to never recompile.

Parameters:

mode - the recompilation mode

See Also:

CompilerConfiguration

isShouldRecompile

public Boolean isShouldRecompile()

gets the currently set recompilation mode. null means, the compiler configuration is used. False means no recompilation and true means that recompilation will be done if needed.

Returns:

the recompilation mode

loadClass

public Class loadClass(String name, boolean lookupScriptFiles, boolean preferClassOverScript, boolean resolve) throws ClassNotFoundException, CompilationFailedException

loads a class from a file or a parent classloader.

Parameters:

name - of the class to be loaded

lookupScriptFiles - if false no lookup at files is done at all

preferClassOverScript - if true the file lookup is only done if there is no class

resolve - see ClassLoader.loadClass(java.lang.String, boolean)

Returns:

the class found or the class created from a file lookup

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the class could not be found

CompilationFailedException - if the source file could not be compiled

recompile

protected Class recompile(URL source, String className, Class oldClass) throws CompilationFailedException, IOException

(Re)Compiles the given source. This method starts the compilation of a given source, if the source has changed since the class was created. For this isSourceNewer is called.

Parameters:

source - the source pointer for the compilation

className - the name of the class to be generated

oldClass - a possible former class

Returns:

the old class if the source wasn't new enough, the new class else

Throws:

CompilationFailedException - if the compilation failed

IOException - if the source is not readable

ClassLoader.loadClass(java.lang.String, boolean)

getTimeStamp

protected long getTimeStamp(Class cls)

cls - the class

Returns:

the time stamp

isSourceNewer

protected boolean isSourceNewer(URL source, Class cls) throws IOException

Decides if the given source is newer than a class.

close

public void close() throws IOException
