Class ClassLocator

java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.util.resource.ClassLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Locator, XMLResourcesLocator

public class ClassLocator
extends Object
implements XMLResourcesLocator

The locator searches the current thread's context class loader, and then this class's class loader.

It is important to use this locator if you want to load something in other jar files.

Since this locator is used frequently, Locators.getDefault() is provided to return an instance of this class,

Method Detail

getResources

public Enumeration<URL> getResources(String name)
                              throws IOException

Description copied from interface: XMLResourcesLocator

Returns an enumeration of resources. Unlike XMLResourcesLocator.getDependentXMLResources(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String), it doesn't resolve the dependence among the resources.

Specified by:

getResources in interface XMLResourcesLocator

Parameters:

name - the resource name, such as "metainfo/config.xml".

Throws:

IOException

getDependentXMLResources

public List<XMLResourcesLocator.Resource> getDependentXMLResources(String name,
                                                          String elName,
                                                          String elDepends)
                                                            throws IOException

Description copied from interface: XMLResourcesLocator

Returns a list of resources (XMLResourcesLocator.Resource) after resolving the dependence. The resource is returned in the format of XMLResourcesLocator.Resource

To resolve the dependence, it assumes each resource has two element whose name is identified by elName and elDepends. The elName element specifies the unique name of each resource. The elDepends element specifies a list of names of resources that this resource depends on. If not found, it assumes it could be loaded first.

Specified by:

getDependentXMLResources in interface XMLResourcesLocator

Parameters:

name - the resource name, such as "metainfo/config.xml".

elName - the element used to specify the name.

elDepends - the element used to specify the dependence.

Returns:

a list of XMLResourcesLocator.Resource of the specified name.

Throws:

IOException

getDirectory

public String getDirectory()

Always returns null.

Specified by:

getDirectory in interface Locator

getResource

public URL getResource(String name)

Description copied from interface: Locator

Finds the resource with the given name. A resource is some data (images, audio, text, etc) that can be accessed by class code in a way that is independent of the location of the code.

Specified by:

getResource in interface Locator

Returns:

a URL for reading the resource, or null if the resource could not be found or the caller doesn't have adequate privileges to get the resource

getResourceAsStream

public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)

Description copied from interface: Locator

Returns an input stream for reading the specified resource.

Specified by:

getResourceAsStream in interface Locator

Returns:

an input stream for reading the resource, or null if the resource could not be found or the caller doesn't have adequate privileges to get the resource

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
