All Implemented Interfaces:

Container, Contextualizable, Disposable, Initializable, LogEnabled, Serviceable

Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultContainer

public abstract class AbstractContainer

extends AbstractLogEnabled

implements Contextualizable, Serviceable, Initializable, Disposable, Container

This abstract implementation provides basic functionality for building an implementation of the Container interface. It exposes a protected getServiceManager() method so that the Container's Manager can expose that to the instantiating class.

Constructor Detail

AbstractContainer

public AbstractContainer()

Method Detail

setProxyManager

protected void setProxyManager(ProxyManager proxyManager)

Allows you to override the ProxyManager used in the container. In order for your proxymanager to be used, it must be set prior to adding any components.

Parameters:

proxyManager -

getProxyManager

protected ProxyManager getProxyManager()
                                throws java.lang.Exception

Guarantees that the ProxyManager will be assigned before use. If you do not set the proxy manager, the AbstractContainer will use the ProxyManager.DISCOVER algorithm.

Returns:

the ProxyManager.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is a problem

contextualize

public void contextualize(Context context)
                   throws ContextException

Pull the manager items from the context so we can use them to set up the system.

Specified by:

contextualize in interface Contextualizable

Parameters:

context - the impl context

Throws:

ContextException - if a contexaulization error occurs

service

public void service(ServiceManager serviceManager)
             throws ServiceException

Root ServiceManager. The Container may choose to have it's ServiceManager delegate to the root manager, or it may choose to be entirely self contained.

Specified by:

service in interface Serviceable

Parameters:

serviceManager - the service manager to apply to the impl

Throws:

ServiceException - is a servicing related error occurs

addComponent

protected void addComponent(ComponentHandlerMetaData metaData)
                     throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                            java.lang.Exception

Add a Component into the impl. This sets the component up for management by the impl by creating an appropriate ComponentHandler.

Parameters:

metaData - the information needed to construct a ComponentHandler for the component

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the classname defined by the meta data argument is undefined within the scope of the role manager

java.lang.Exception - if unable to create a Handler for the component

createObjectFactory

protected org.d_haven.mpool.ObjectFactory createObjectFactory(java.lang.String classname,
                                                              Configuration configuration)
                                                       throws java.lang.Exception

Create an objectFactory for specified Object configuration.

Parameters:

classname - the classname of object

configuration - the objests configuration

Returns:

the ObjectFactory

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if the specified class does not exist

java.lang.Exception

get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.String role,
                            java.lang.Object hint)
                     throws ServiceException

This is the method that the ContainerComponentManager and Selector use to gain access to the ComponentHandlers and ComponentSelectors. The actual access of the ComponentHandler is delegated to the Container.

Specified by:

get in interface Container

Parameters:

role - The role we intend to access a Component for.

hint - The hint that we use as a qualifier (note: if null, the default implementation is returned).

Returns:

Object a reference to the ComponentHandler or ComponentSelector for the role/hint combo.

Throws:

ServiceException - if the container cannot get the component

createHintMap

protected java.util.Map createHintMap()

Create the hint map for a role. The map may have to take care for thread-safety. By default a StaticBucketMap is created, but you may change the implementation or increment the number of buckets according your needs.

WARNING: This Map must be threadsafe, so either use the StaticBucketMap or a synchronized Map. Otherwise you will experience erratic behavior due to the nature of the asyncronous component management.

Returns:

the hint map implementation

getRoleKey

protected static java.lang.String getRoleKey(java.lang.String role,
                                             java.lang.Object hint)

Get the composite role name based on the specified role and hint. The default implementation puts a "/" on the end of the rolename and then adds the string representation of the hint. This is used for informational display purposes only.

Parameters:

role -

hint -

Returns:

has

public boolean has(java.lang.String role,
                   java.lang.Object hint)

This is the method that the ContainerComponentManager and Selector use to gain access to the ComponentHandlers and ComponentSelectors. The actual access of the ComponentHandler is delegated to the Container.

Specified by:

has in interface Container

Parameters:

role - The role we intend to access a Component for.

hint - The hint that we use as a qualifier (note: if null, the default implementation is returned).

Returns:

true if a reference to the role exists.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws CompositeException,
                       java.lang.Exception

Initializes the impl and all the components it hosts so that they are ready to be used. Unless components ask for lazy activation, this is where they are activated.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Throws:

CompositeException - if one or more components could not be initialized. The system is running properly so if the missing components are not vital to operation, it should be possible to recover gracefully

java.lang.Exception - if an error occurs

dispose

public void dispose()

Disposes of all components and frees resources that they consume.

Specified by:

dispose in interface Disposable

getServiceManager

protected ServiceManager getServiceManager()

Exposes to subclasses the service manager which this impl uses to manage its child components. The returned ServiceManager is aware of the services passed in to this impl, and services that were passed in through service() are hence available to subclasses.

Returns:

the service manager that contains the child components.

provideServiceManager

protected ServiceManager provideServiceManager(ServiceManager parent)
                                        throws ServiceException

Override this method to control creation of the serviceManager belonging to this container. This serviceManager is passed to child components as they are being created and is exposed via the getServiceManager() method. Invoked from the service() method. However even a self-contained container should be careful about cutting access to parent serviceManager completely, as important (and required) system services including Sink, LoggerManager, InstrumentManager, PoolManager and LifecycleExtensionManager are passed via ServiceManager also. SourceResolver hangs somewhere in between system and "user space" services. It's more or less okay to cut access to them if our child components do not need them and are not containers themselves, but if we have containers as our children they will require these services.

Throws:

ServiceException

provideComponentContext

protected Context provideComponentContext(Context parent)
                                   throws java.lang.Exception

Override this method to control what context will be passed to the components created by this container. Called the first time a component being created - withing this implementation it is a part of the configure() stage. You may derive your context from m_context or create a new one.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
