Method Detail

setName

public void setName(java.lang.String name)

set the definition's name

Parameters:

name - the name of the definition

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

return the definition's name

Returns:

the name of the definition

setClass

public void setClass(java.lang.Class clazz)

set the class of the definition. as a side-effect may set the classloader and classname

Parameters:

clazz - the class of this definition

setClassName

public void setClassName(java.lang.String className)

set the classname of the definition

Parameters:

className - the classname of this definition

getClassName

public java.lang.String getClassName()

get the classname of the definition

Returns:

the name of the class of this definition

setAdapterClass

public void setAdapterClass(java.lang.Class adapterClass)

set the adapter class for this definition. this class is used to adapt the definitions class if required.

Parameters:

adapterClass - the adapterClass

setAdaptToClass

public void setAdaptToClass(java.lang.Class adaptToClass)

set the assignable class for this definition.

Parameters:

adaptToClass - the assignable class

setClassLoader

public void setClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)

set the classloader to use to create an instance of the definition

Parameters:

classLoader - the classLoader

getClassLoader

public java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()

get the classloader for this definition

Returns:

the classloader for this definition

getExposedClass

public java.lang.Class getExposedClass(Project project)

get the exposed class for this definition. This will be a proxy class (adapted class) if there is an adapter class and the definition class is not assignable from the assignable class.

Parameters:

project - the current project

Returns:

the exposed class

getTypeClass

public java.lang.Class getTypeClass(Project project)

get the definition class

Parameters:

project - the current project

Returns:

the type of the definition

create

public java.lang.Object create(Project project)

create an instance of the definition. The instance may be wrapped in a proxy class.

Parameters:

project - the current project

Returns:

the created object

checkClass

public void checkClass(Project project)

Checks if the attributes are correct.

if the class can be created.

if an adapter class can be created

if the type is assignable from adapto

if the type can be used with the adapter class

Parameters:

project - the current project

sameDefinition

public boolean sameDefinition(AntTypeDefinition other,
                              Project project)

Equality method for this definition (assumes the names are the same)

Parameters:

other - another definition

project - the project the definition

Returns:

true if the definitions are the same

similarDefinition

public boolean similarDefinition(AntTypeDefinition other,
                                 Project project)

Similar definition used to compare two definitions defined twice with the same name and the same types. the classloader may be different but have the same path so #sameDefinition cannot be used.

Parameters:

other - the definition to compare to

project - the current project

Returns:

true if the definitions are the same
