Interface Environment

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalEnvironment, RepositoryService

@ThreadSafe
public interface Environment

A basic environment in which a repository operates. The logical names supplied to these methods are typically obtained directly from the RepositoryConfiguration.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.infinispan.manager.CacheContainer	getCacheContainer(String name) Get the cache container with the given name.
org.jgroups.Channel	getChannel(String name) Get the JGroups channel with the given logical name.
ClassLoader	getClassLoader(ClassLoader fallbackLoader, String... classpathEntries) Get a classloader given the supplied set of logical classpath entries, which the implementation can interpret however it needs.
void	shutdown() Shutdown this environment, allowing it to reclaim any resources.

Method Detail

getCacheContainer

org.infinispan.manager.CacheContainer getCacheContainer(String name)
                                                        throws IOException,
                                                               NamingException

Get the cache container with the given name. Note that the name might be a logical name or it might refer to the location of an Infinispan configuration; the exact semantics is dependent upon the implementation.

Parameters:

name - the name of the cache container; may be null

Returns:

the cache container; never null

Throws:

IOException - if there is an error accessing any resources required to start the container

NamingException - if there is an error accessing JNDI (if that is used in the implementation)

getChannel

org.jgroups.Channel getChannel(String name)
                               throws Exception

Get the JGroups channel with the given logical name.

Parameters:

name - the name of the channel; may not be null

Returns:

the channel, or null if there is no such channel and the environment does not support clustering

Throws:

Exception - if there is a problem obtaining the named channel

getClassLoader

ClassLoader getClassLoader(ClassLoader fallbackLoader,
                         String... classpathEntries)

Get a classloader given the supplied set of logical classpath entries, which the implementation can interpret however it needs.

Parameters:

fallbackLoader - the classloader that should be used is the fallback class loader

classpathEntries - the logical classpath entries

Returns:

the classloader

shutdown

void shutdown()

Shutdown this environment, allowing it to reclaim any resources.
