public class StandardPluginLifecycleHandler
extends PluginLifecycleHandler

Standard implementation of plug-in life cycle handler.

Configuration parameters

This life cycle handler implementation supports following configuration parameters:

probeParentLoaderLast

If true, plug-in classloader will try loading classes from system (boot) classpath after trying to load them from plug-in classpath. Otherwise system classpath will be used first. Default value is false that corresponds to standard delegation model for classloaders hierarchy that corresponds to JLS.

stickySynchronizing

Allows advanced configuring of classloaders synchronization in multy-threaded environment. If true then class loading will be synchronized with initial plug-in classloader instance. Otherwise this instance will be used as synchronizing monitor. Default value is false.

localClassLoadingOptimization

If true then plug-in classloader will collect local packages statistics to predict class location. This allow to optimize class look-up procedure for classes that belong to the requested plug-in. Default value is true.

foreignClassLoadingOptimization

If true then plug-in classloader will collect statistics for "foreign" classes - those which belong to depending plug-ins. This allow to optimize class look-up procedure when enumerating depending plug-ins. Default value is true.

public StandardPluginLifecycleHandler()

Method Detail

createPluginClassLoader

protected PluginClassLoader createPluginClassLoader(PluginDescriptor descr)

Creates standard implementation of plug-in class loader.

Specified by:

createPluginClassLoader in class PluginLifecycleHandler

Parameters:

descr - plug-in descriptor

Returns:

class loader instance for given plug-in

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.createPluginClassLoader( org.java.plugin.registry.PluginDescriptor)

createPluginInstance

protected Plugin createPluginInstance(PluginDescriptor descr)
                               throws PluginLifecycleException

Creates instance of plug-in class calling it's default (no-arguments) constructor. Class look-up is done with plug-in's class loader.

Specified by:

createPluginInstance in class PluginLifecycleHandler

Parameters:

descr - plug-in descriptor

Returns:

new not initialized instance of plug-in class

Throws:

PluginLifecycleException - if plug-in class can't be instantiated for some reason

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.createPluginInstance( org.java.plugin.registry.PluginDescriptor)

beforePluginStart

protected void beforePluginStart(Plugin plugin)

This method does nothing in this implementation.

Specified by:

beforePluginStart in class PluginLifecycleHandler

Parameters:

plugin - plug-in being starting

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.beforePluginStart( org.java.plugin.Plugin)

afterPluginStop

protected void afterPluginStop(Plugin plugin)

This method does nothing in this implementation.

Specified by:

afterPluginStop in class PluginLifecycleHandler

Parameters:

plugin - plug-in being stopping

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.afterPluginStop( org.java.plugin.Plugin)

dispose

protected void dispose()

This method does nothing in this implementation.

Specified by:

dispose in class PluginLifecycleHandler

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.dispose()

configure

public void configure(ExtendedProperties config)

Description copied from class: PluginLifecycleHandler

Configures this handler instance. Note that this method should be called once before PluginLifecycleHandler.init(PluginManager), usually this is done in object factory implementation.

Specified by:

configure in class PluginLifecycleHandler

Parameters:

config - handler configuration data

See Also:

PluginLifecycleHandler.configure( ExtendedProperties)
