public PatchAwareContent(Content content,
                         java.lang.String symbolicName,
                         java.lang.String version)

                         java.io.File dir)

Method Detail

getPatch

public static java.net.URL getPatch(java.lang.String symbolicName,
                                    java.lang.String version,
                                    java.lang.String entry)

close

public void close()

Description copied from interface: Content

This method must be called when the content is no longer needed so that any resourses being used (e.g., open files) can be closed. Once this method is called, the content is no longer usable. If the content is already closed, then calls on this method should have no effect.

Specified by:

close in interface Content

hasEntry

public boolean hasEntry(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: Content

This method determines if the specified named entry is contained in the associated content. The entry name is a relative path with '/' separators.

Specified by:

hasEntry in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to find.

Returns:

true if a corresponding entry was found, false otherwise.

getEntries

public java.util.Enumeration getEntries()

Description copied from interface: Content

Returns an enumeration of entry names as String objects. An entry name is a path constructed with '/' as path element separators and is relative to the root of the content. Entry names for entries that represent directories should end with the '/' character.

Specified by:

getEntries in interface Content

getEntryAsBytes

public byte[] getEntryAsBytes(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: Content

This method returns the named entry as an array of bytes.

Specified by:

getEntryAsBytes in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to retrieve as a byte array.

Returns:

An array of bytes if the corresponding entry was found, null otherwise.

getEntryAsStream

public java.io.InputStream getEntryAsStream(java.lang.String name)
                                     throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: Content

This method returns the named entry as an input stream.

Specified by:

getEntryAsStream in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to retrieve as an input stream.

Returns:

An input stream if the corresponding entry was found, null otherwise.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getEntryAsContent

public Content getEntryAsContent(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: Content

This method returns the named entry as an IContent Typically, this method only makes sense for entries that correspond to some form of aggregated resource (e.g., an embedded JAR file or directory), but implementations are free to interpret this however makes sense. This method should return a new IContent instance for every invocation and the caller is responsible for opening and closing the returned content object.

Specified by:

getEntryAsContent in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to retrieve as an IContent.

Returns:

An IContent instance if a corresponding entry was found, null otherwise.

getEntryAsNativeLibrary

public java.lang.String getEntryAsNativeLibrary(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: Content

This method returns the named entry as a file in the file system for use as a native library. It may not be possible for all content implementations (e.g., memory only) to implement this method, in which case it is acceptable to return null. Since native libraries can only be associated with a single class loader, this method should return a unique file per request.

Specified by:

getEntryAsNativeLibrary in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to retrieve as a file.

Returns:

A string corresponding to the absolute path of the file if a corresponding entry was found, null otherwise.

getEntryAsURL

public java.net.URL getEntryAsURL(java.lang.String name)

Description copied from interface: Content

This method allows retrieving an entry as a local URL.

Specified by:

getEntryAsURL in interface Content

Parameters:

name - The name of the entry to retrieve as a URL

Returns:

A URL using a local protocol such as file, jar or null if not possible.
