Class ModuleImpl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Module

    public final class ModuleImpl
    extends Object
    implements Module
    A module represents a set of resources accessible to third party modules. Each module has a module definition which defines its name, its list of exported resources and its dependencies to other modules. A module instance stores references to the class loader instances giving access to the module's implementation. A module instance belongs to a ModuleRegistry which can be used to get the list of available modules and/or get particular module implementation. Modules can only satisfy their dependencies within the ModuleRegistry instance they are registered in.

    • Method Detail

      • getClassLoader

        public com.sun.enterprise.module.impl.ClassLoaderFacade getClassLoader()
        Return the ClassLoader instance associated with this module. Only designated public interfaces will be loaded and returned by this classloader.
        Specified by:
        getClassLoader in interface Module
        Returns:
        the public ClassLoader
      • getModuleDefinition

        public ModuleDefinition getModuleDefinition()
        Returns the module definition for this module instance
        Specified by:
        getModuleDefinition in interface Module
        Returns:
        the module definition
      • getRegistry

        public ModulesRegistryImpl getRegistry()
        Returns the registry owning this module
        Specified by:
        getRegistry in interface Module
        Returns:
        the registry owning the module
      • detach

        public void detach()
        Detach this module from its registry. This does not free any of the loaded resources. Only proper release of all references to the public class loader will ensure module being garbage collected. Detached modules are orphan and will be garbage collected if resources are properly disposed.
        Specified by:
        detach in interface Module
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Return a String representation
        Overrides:
        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        a descriptive String about myself
      • addListener

        public void addListener​(ModuleChangeListener listener)
        Add a new module change listener
        Specified by:
        addListener in interface Module
        Parameters:
        listener - the listener
      • removeListener

        public void removeListener​(ModuleChangeListener listener)
        Unregister a module change listener
        Specified by:
        removeListener in interface Module
        Parameters:
        listener - the listener to unregister
      • fireChangeEvent

        protected void fireChangeEvent()
        fires a ModuleChange event to all listeners
      • refresh

        public void refresh()
        Trigger manual refresh mechanism, the module will check all its URLs and generate change events if any of them has changed. This will allow the owning registry to force a module upgrade at next module request.
        Specified by:
        refresh in interface Module
      • resolve

        public void resolve()
                     throws ResolveError
        Ensure that this module is resolved.

        If the module is already resolved, this method does nothing. Otherwise, iterate over all declared ModuleDependency instances and use the associated ModuleRegistry to resolve it. After successful completion of this method, the module state is ModuleState.RESOLVED.

        Specified by:
        resolve in interface Module
        Throws:
        ResolveError - if any of the declared dependency of this module cannot be satisfied
      • start

        public void start()
                   throws ResolveError
        Forces module startup. In most cases, the runtime will take care of starting modules when they are first used. There could be cases where code need to manually start a sub module. Invoking this method will move the module to the ModuleState.READY, the Lifecycle.start method will be invoked.
        Specified by:
        start in interface Module
        Throws:
        ResolveError
      • stop

        public boolean stop()
        Forces module stop. In most cases, the runtime will take care of stopping modules when the last module user released its interest. However, in certain cases, it may be interesting to manually stop the module. Stopping the module means that the module is removed from the registry, the class loader references are released (note : the class loaders will only be released if all instances of any class loaded by them are gc'ed). If a LifecyclePolicy for this module is defined, the Lifecycle.stop(Module) method will be called and finally the module state will be returned to ModuleState.NEW.
        Specified by:
        stop in interface Module
        Returns:
        true if unloading was successful
      • getImports

        public List<Module> getImports()

        Specified by:

        Returns:
        the list of imported modules
      • addImport

        public Module addImport​(ModuleDependency dependency)

      • isShared

        public boolean isShared()
        Returns true if this module is sharable. A sharable module means that onlu one instance of the module classloader will be used by all users.
        Specified by:
        isShared in interface Module
        Returns:
        true if this module is sharable.
      • isSticky

        public boolean isSticky()
