Interface J2eeApplicationObject

All Superinterfaces:

DeployableObject

public interface J2eeApplicationObject
extends DeployableObject

J2eeApplicationObject is an interface that represents a J2EE application (EAR); it maintains a DeployableObject for each module in the archive.

Method Summary

void	addXpathListener(ModuleType type, String xpath, XpathListener xpl) Register a listener for changes in XPath that are related to this deployableObject.
DDBean[]	getChildBean(ModuleType type, String xpath) Return a list of DDBean based upon an XPath; all deployment descriptors of the specified type are searched.
DeployableObject	getDeployableObject(String uri) Return the DeployableObject of the specified URI designator.
DeployableObject[]	getDeployableObjects() Return the all DeployableObjects in this application.
DeployableObject[]	getDeployableObjects(ModuleType type) Return the all DeployableObjects of the specified type.
String[]	getModuleUris() Return the list of URIs for all modules in the application.
String[]	getModuleUris(ModuleType type) Return the list of URIs of the designated module type.
String[]	getText(ModuleType type, String xpath) Return the text value from the XPath; search only the deployment descriptors of the specified type.
void	removeXpathListener(ModuleType type, String xpath, XpathListener xpl) Unregister the listener for an XPath.

Method Detail

getDeployableObject

DeployableObject getDeployableObject(String uri)

Return the DeployableObject of the specified URI designator.

Parameters:

uri - Describes where to get the module from.

Returns:

the DeployableObject describing the j2ee module at this uri or 'null' if there is not match.

getDeployableObjects

DeployableObject[] getDeployableObjects(ModuleType type)

Return the all DeployableObjects of the specified type.

Parameters:

type - The type of module to return.

Returns:

the list of DeployableObjects describing the j2ee module at this uri or 'null' if there are no matches.

getDeployableObjects

DeployableObject[] getDeployableObjects()

Return the all DeployableObjects in this application.

Returns:

the DeployableObject describing the j2ee module at this uri or 'null' if there are no matches.
