public class TaskAdapter
extends Task
implements TypeAdapter

Uses introspection to "adapt" an arbitrary Bean which doesn't itself extend Task, but still contains an execute method and optionally a setProject method.

public TaskAdapter()
Method Detail

checkTaskClass

public static void checkTaskClass(java.lang.Class taskClass,
                                  Project project)
Checks whether or not a class is suitable to be adapted by TaskAdapter. If the class is of type Dispatchable, the check is not performed because the method that will be executed will be determined only at runtime of the actual task and not during parse time. This only checks conditions which are additionally required for tasks adapted by TaskAdapter. Thus, this method should be called by Project.checkTaskClass. Throws a BuildException and logs as Project.MSG_ERR for conditions that will cause the task execution to fail. Logs other suspicious conditions with Project.MSG_WARN.

Parameters:
taskClass - Class to test for suitability. Must not be null.
project - Project to log warnings/errors to. Must not be null.

Project.checkTaskClass(Class)

checkProxyClass

public void checkProxyClass(java.lang.Class proxyClass)
Check if the proxy class is a valid class to use with this adapter. The class must have a public no-arg "execute()" method.

Specified by:
checkProxyClass in interface TypeAdapter
Parameters:
proxyClass - the class to check.

execute

public void execute()
             throws BuildException
Executes the proxied task.

Overrides:
execute in class Task
Throws:
BuildException - if the project could not be set or the method could not be executed.

setProxy

public void setProxy(java.lang.Object o)
Sets the target object to proxy for.

Specified by:
setProxy in interface TypeAdapter
Parameters:
o - The target object. Must not be null.

getProxy

public java.lang.Object getProxy()
Returns the target object being proxied.

Specified by:
getProxy in interface TypeAdapter
Returns:
the target proxy object.
