Constructor Detail

AbstractClasspathResource

public AbstractClasspathResource()
Method Detail

setClasspath

public void setClasspath(Path classpath)
Set the classpath to use when looking up a resource.

Parameters:
classpath - to add to any existing classpath

createClasspath

public Path createClasspath()
Add a classpath to use when looking up a resource.

Returns:
The classpath to be configured

setClasspathRef

public void setClasspathRef(Reference r)
Set the classpath to use when looking up a resource, given as reference to a <path> defined elsewhere

Parameters:
r - The reference value

getClasspath

public Path getClasspath()
get the classpath used by this LoadProperties.

Returns:
The classpath

getLoader

public Reference getLoader()
Get the loader.

Returns:
the loader.

setLoaderRef

public void setLoaderRef(Reference r)
Use the reference to locate the loader. If the loader is not found, taskdef will use the specified classpath and register it with the specified name. This allow multiple taskdef/typedef to use the same class loader, so they can be used together. It eliminate the need to put them in the CLASSPATH.

Parameters:
r - the reference to locate the loader.

setParentFirst

public void setParentFirst(boolean b)
Whether to consult the parent classloader first.

Only relevant if a classpath has been specified.

Since:
Ant 1.8.0

setRefid

public void setRefid(Reference r)
Overrides the super version.

Overrides:
setRefid in class Resource
Parameters:
r - the Reference to set.

isExists

public boolean isExists()
Learn whether this resource exists. This implementation opens the input stream as the test.

Overrides:
isExists in class Resource
Returns:
true if this resource exists.

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException
Return an InputStream for reading the contents of this Resource.

Overrides:
getInputStream in class Resource
Returns:
an InputStream object.
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.

getClassLoader

protected AbstractClasspathResource.ClassLoaderWithFlag getClassLoader()
combines the various ways that could specify a ClassLoader and potentially creates one that needs to be cleaned up when it is no longer needed so that classes can get garbage collected.


openInputStream

protected abstract java.io.InputStream openInputStream(java.lang.ClassLoader cl)
                                                throws java.io.IOException
open the input stream from a specific classloader

Parameters:
cl - the classloader to use. Will be null if the system classloader is used
Returns:
an open input stream for the resource
Throws:
java.io.IOException - if an error occurs.

dieOnCircularReference

protected void dieOnCircularReference(java.util.Stack<java.lang.Object> stk,
                                      Project p)
Description copied from class: DataType
Check to see whether any DataType we hold references to is included in the Stack (which holds all DataType instances that directly or indirectly reference this instance, including this instance itself).

If one is included, throw a BuildException created by circularReference.

This implementation is appropriate only for a DataType that cannot hold other DataTypes as children.

The general contract of this method is that it shouldn't do anything if checked is true and set it to true on exit.

Overrides:
dieOnCircularReference in class DataType
Parameters:
stk - the stack of references to check.
p - the project to use to dereference the references.
