      Does this loader want templates produced with it cached in the Runtime.

    • modificationCheckInterval

      protected long modificationCheckInterval
      This property will be passed on to the templates that are created with this loader.

    • className

      protected String className
      Class name for this loader, for logging/debuggin purposes.

    • rsvc

      protected RuntimeServices rsvc

  • Constructor Details

    • ResourceLoader

  • Method Details

    • commonInit

      public void commonInit(RuntimeServices rs, ExtProperties configuration)
      This initialization is used by all resource loaders and must be called to set up common properties shared by all resource loaders
      Parameters:
      rs -
      configuration -

    • init

      public abstract void init(ExtProperties configuration)
      Initialize the template loader with a a resources class.
      Parameters:
      configuration -

    • getResourceReader

      public abstract Reader getResourceReader(String source, String encoding) throws ResourceNotFoundException
      Get the Reader that the Runtime will parse to create a template.
      Parameters:
      source -
      encoding -
      Returns:
      The reader for the requested resource.
      Throws:
      ResourceNotFoundException
      Since:
      2.0

    • isSourceModified

      public abstract boolean isSourceModified(Resource resource)
      Given a template, check to see if the source of InputStream has been modified.
      Parameters:
      resource -
      Returns:
      True if the resource has been modified.

    • getLastModified

      public abstract long getLastModified(Resource resource)
      Get the last modified time of the InputStream source that was used to create the template. We need the template here because we have to extract the name of the template in order to locate the InputStream source.
      Parameters:
      resource -
      Returns:
      Time in millis when the resource has been modified.

    • getClassName

      public String getClassName()
      Return the class name of this resource Loader
      Returns:
      Class name of the resource loader.

    • setCachingOn

      public void setCachingOn(boolean value)
      Set the caching state. If true, then this loader would like the Runtime to cache templates that have been created with InputStreams provided by this loader.
      Parameters:
      value -

    • isCachingOn

      public boolean isCachingOn()
      The Runtime uses this to find out whether this template loader wants the Runtime to cache templates created with InputStreams provided by this loader.
      Returns:
      True if this resource loader caches.

    • setModificationCheckInterval

      public void setModificationCheckInterval(long modificationCheckInterval)
      Set the interval at which the InputStream source should be checked for modifications.
      Parameters:
      modificationCheckInterval -

    • getModificationCheckInterval

      public long getModificationCheckInterval()
      Get the interval at which the InputStream source should be checked for modifications.
      Returns:
      The modification check interval.

    • resourceExists

      public boolean resourceExists(String resourceName)
      Check whether any given resource exists. This is not really a very efficient test and it can and should be overridden in the subclasses extending ResourceLoader2.
      Parameters:
      resourceName - The name of a resource.
      Returns:
      true if a resource exists and can be accessed.
      Since:
      1.6

    • buildReader

      protected Reader buildReader(InputStream rawStream, String encoding) throws IOException
      Builds a Reader given a raw InputStream and an encoding. Should be use by every subclass that whishes to accept optional BOMs in resources. This method does *not* close the given input stream whenever an exception is thrown.
      Parameters:
      rawStream - The raw input stream.
      encoding - The asked encoding.
      Returns:
      found reader
      Throws:
      IOException
      UnsupportedEncodingException
      Since:
      2.0
