Interface ClassLoaderHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

EquinoxClassLoaderHandler, FelixClassLoaderHandler, JBossClassLoaderHandler, OSGiDefaultClassLoaderHandler, URLClassLoaderHandler, WeblogicClassLoaderHandler, WebsphereLibertyClassLoaderHandler, WebsphereTraditionalClassLoaderHandler

public interface ClassLoaderHandler

A ClassLoader handler. Custom ClassLoaderHandlers can be registered by listing their fully-qualified class name in the file: META-INF/services/io.github.lukehutch.fastclasspathscanner.scanner.classloaderhandler.ClassLoaderHandler However, if you do create a custom ClassLoaderHandler, please consider submitting a patch upstream for incorporation into FastClasspathScanner.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
ClassLoaderHandler.DelegationOrder	getDelegationOrder(ClassLoader classLoaderInstance) The delegation order configuration for a given ClassLoader instance (this is usually PARENT_FIRST for most ClassLoaders, since you don't generally want to be able to override system classes with user classes, but this can be overridden by some ClassLoaders, e.g.
void	handle(ClassLoader classLoader, ClasspathFinder classpathFinder, ScanSpec scanSpec, LogNode log) Determine if a given ClassLoader can be handled (meaning that its classpath elements can be extracted from it), and if it can, extract the classpath elements from the ClassLoader and register them with the ClasspathFinder using classpathFinder.addClasspathElement(pathElement) or classpathFinder.addClasspathElements(path).

Method Detail

getDelegationOrder

ClassLoaderHandler.DelegationOrder getDelegationOrder(ClassLoader classLoaderInstance)

The delegation order configuration for a given ClassLoader instance (this is usually PARENT_FIRST for most ClassLoaders, since you don't generally want to be able to override system classes with user classes, but this can be overridden by some ClassLoaders, e.g. WebSphere).

handle

void handle(ClassLoader classLoader,
            ClasspathFinder classpathFinder,
            ScanSpec scanSpec,
            LogNode log)
     throws Exception

Determine if a given ClassLoader can be handled (meaning that its classpath elements can be extracted from it), and if it can, extract the classpath elements from the ClassLoader and register them with the ClasspathFinder using classpathFinder.addClasspathElement(pathElement) or classpathFinder.addClasspathElements(path).

Parameters:

classLoader - The ClassLoader class to attempt to handle. If you can't directly use instanceof (because you are using introspection so that your ClassLoaderHandler implementation can be added to the upstream FastClasspathScanner project), you should iterate through the ClassLoader's superclass lineage to ensure subclasses of the target ClassLoader are correctly detected.

classpathFinder - The ClasspathFinder to register any discovered classpath elements with.

scanSpec - the scanning specification, in case it is needed, e.g. this could be used to reduce the number of classpath elements returned in cases where it is very costly for a given classloader to return the entire classpath. (The ScanSpec can be safely ignored, however, and the returned paths will be filtered by FastClasspathScanner.)

log - A logger instance -- if this is non-null, write debug information using log.log("message").

Throws:

Exception
