Class ClassManagerImpl


public class ClassManagerImpl
extends BshClassManager

Manage all classloading in BeanShell.
Allows classpath extension and class file reloading.
This class holds the implementation of the BshClassManager so that it
can be separated from the core package.
This class currently relies on 1.2 for BshClassLoader and weak references.
Is there a workaround for weak refs?  If so we could make this work
with 1.1 by supplying our own classloader code...
See "http://www.beanshell.org/manual/classloading.html" for details
on the bsh classloader architecture.
Bsh has a multi-tiered class loading architecture.  No class loader is
used unless/until the classpath is modified or a class is reloaded.
Note: we may need some synchronization in here
Note on jdk1.2 dependency:
We are forced to use weak references here to accomodate all of the 
fleeting namespace listeners.  (NameSpaces must be informed if the class 
space changes so that they can un-cache names).  I had the interesting 
thought that a way around this would be to implement BeanShell's own 
garbage collector...  Then I came to my senses and said - screw it, 
class re-loading will require 1.2.

Constructor Details

ClassManagerImpl

public ClassManagerImpl()
Used by BshClassManager singleton constructor

Method Details

addClassPath

public void addClassPath(URL path)
            throws IOException
Overrides:
addClassPath in interface BshClassManager


addListener

public void addListener(BshClassManager.Listener l)
Overrides:
addListener in interface BshClassManager


classForName

public Class classForName(String name)
Overrides:
classForName in interface BshClassManager

Returns:
the class or null


classLoaderChanged

protected void classLoaderChanged()
Clear global class cache and notify namespaces to clear their class caches. The listener list is implemented with weak references so that we will not keep every namespace in existence forever.
Overrides:
classLoaderChanged in interface BshClassManager


doSuperImport

public void doSuperImport()
            throws UtilEvalError
Support for "import *;" Hide details in here as opposed to NameSpace.
Overrides:
doSuperImport in interface BshClassManager


dump

public void dump(PrintWriter i)
Overrides:
dump in interface BshClassManager


getBaseLoader

public ClassLoader getBaseLoader()


getClassNameByUnqName

public String getClassNameByUnqName(String name)
            throws ClassPathException
Return the name or null if none is found, Throw an ClassPathException containing detail if name is ambigous.
Overrides:
getClassNameByUnqName in interface BshClassManager


getClassPath

public BshClassPath getClassPath()
            throws ClassPathException
Get the full blown classpath.


getResource

public URL getResource(String path)
Get a resource URL using the BeanShell classpath
Overrides:
getResource in interface BshClassManager

Parameters:
path - should be an absolute path


getResourceAsStream

public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String path)
Get a resource stream using the BeanShell classpath
Overrides:
getResourceAsStream in interface BshClassManager

Parameters:
path - should be an absolute path


hasSuperImport

protected boolean hasSuperImport()
A "super import" ("import *") operation has been performed.
Overrides:
hasSuperImport in interface BshClassManager


plainClassForName

public Class plainClassForName(String name)
            throws ClassNotFoundException
Delegate for bottom level implementation of Class.forName(). This is here solely to provide for Java version specific features. In this case - the Thread getContextClassLoader() which is required to get bsh to see user classpath when it's installed in a web application or in the jre/lib/ext directory.
Overrides:
plainClassForName in interface BshClassManager

See Also:
BshClassManager.plainClassForName()


reloadAllClasses

public void reloadAllClasses()
            throws ClassPathException
Overlay the entire path with a new class loader. Set the base path to the user path + base path. No point in including the boot class path (can't reload thos).
Overrides:
reloadAllClasses in interface BshClassManager


reloadClasses

public void reloadClasses(String[] classNames)
            throws ClassPathException
Reloading classes means creating a new classloader and using it whenever we are asked for classes in the appropriate space. For this we use a DiscreteFilesClassLoader
Overrides:
reloadClasses in interface BshClassManager


reloadPackage

public void reloadPackage(String pack)
            throws ClassPathException
Reload all classes in the specified package: e.g. "com.sun.tools" The special package name "" can be used to refer to unpackaged classes.
Overrides:
reloadPackage in interface BshClassManager


removeListener

public void removeListener(BshClassManager.Listener l)
Overrides:
removeListener in interface BshClassManager


reset

public void reset()
Clear all classloading behavior and class caches and reset to initial state.
Overrides:
reset in interface BshClassManager


setClassPath

public void setClassPath(URL[] cp)
Set a new base classpath and create a new base classloader. This means all types change.
Overrides:
setClassPath in interface BshClassManager
