Constructor Detail

PackageVersions

public PackageVersions(String pluginName,
               String dataDirectory)

Creates a new entry point to the persisted version data. Multiple instances of this class may be instantiated; the storage of the data itself does not live in any particular instance of this class. This call will not load the data from disk, it must explicitly be done by the user through a call to loadFromDisk().

Parameters:

pluginName - plugin loading the version data

dataDirectory - directory into which to persist the versions

Method Detail

loadFromDisk

public void loadFromDisk()

Loads the last known application (package) versions for the plugin this instance is scoped to. This method will absorb and log any errors that occur while saving; this call represents a best-effort to save the values. If a data store for the versions has already been found, this method will not reload it from disk. Thus it is safe to make this call multiple times not only per instance, but per class loader, as the data is stored as a static variable across all instances of this class.

saveToDisk

public void saveToDisk()

Saves the current state of the application (package) versions to disk. The values will be saved scoped to the plugin specified in the constructor. This method will absorb and log any errors that occur while saving; this call represents a best-effort to save the values.

getVersion

public String getVersion(String packageKey)

Retrieves the version for the package identified by the supplied package key. This method will synchronize against the data store, thus callers need not worry about handling calls across multiple discovery threads.

Parameters:

packageKey - identifies the package

Returns:

version of the package if it is known; null otherwise

unload

public void unload()

For internal use only - Removes the static data object to simulate the first load in the system. This should not be called by production code and is only for testing purposes.

putVersion

public void putVersion(String packageKey,
              String version)

Updates the store with a new version for the package identified by the specified key. If there is an existing version in the store, it will be overwritten. This method will synchronize on against the data store, thus callers need not worry about handling calls across multiple deploy threads.

Parameters:

packageKey - identifies the package

version - version of the package
