Method Detail

setMessageDispatcher

void setMessageDispatcher(MessageDispatcher aDispatcher)

Sets the MessageDispatcher that is used to dispatch error messages to AuditListeners during processing.

Parameters:

aDispatcher - the dispatcher

process

void process(File[] aFiles)

Processes a set of files and fires errors to the MessageDispatcher. The file set to process might contain files that are not interesting to the FileSetCheck. Such files should be ignored, no error message should be fired for them. For example a FileSetCheck that checks java files should ignore html or properties files. Once processiong is done, it is highly recommended to call for the destroy method to close and remove the listeners.

Parameters:

aFiles - the files to be audited.
