Class BundleRevision

java.lang.Object
  extended by org.apache.felix.framework.cache.BundleRevision

public abstract class BundleRevision
extends Object

This class implements an abstract revision of a bundle archive. A revision is an abstraction of a bundle's actual content and is associated with a parent bundle archive. A bundle archive may have multiple revisions assocaited with it at one time, since updating a bundle results in a new version of the bundle's content until the bundle is refreshed. Upon a refresh, then old revisions are then purged. This abstract class is the base class for all concrete types of revisions, such as ones for a JAR file or directories. All revisions are assigned a root directory into which all of their state should be stored, if necessary. Clean up of this directory is the responsibility of the parent bundle archive and not of the revision itself.

Constructor Detail

BundleRevision

public BundleRevision(Logger logger,
                      File revisionRootDir,
                      String location)
               throws Exception

This class is abstract and cannot be created. It represents a revision of a bundle, i.e., its content. A revision is associated with a particular location string, which is typically in URL format. Subclasses of this class provide particular functionality, such as a revision in the form of a JAR file or a directory. Each revision subclass is expected to use the root directory associated with the abstract revision instance to store any state; this will ensure that resources used by the revision are properly freed when the revision is no longer needed.

Parameters:
logger - a logger for use by the revision.
revisionRootDir - the root directory to be used by the revision subclass for storing any state.
location - the location string associated with the revision.
trustedCaCerts - the trusted CA certificates if any.
Throws:
Exception - if any errors occur.
Method Detail

getLogger

public Logger getLogger()

Returns the logger for this revision.

Returns:
the logger instance for this revision.

getRevisionRootDir

public File getRevisionRootDir()

Returns the root directory for this revision.

Returns:
the root directory for this revision.

getLocation

public String getLocation()

Returns the location string this revision.

Returns:
the location string for this revision.

getManifestHeader

public abstract Map getManifestHeader()
                               throws Exception

Returns the main attributes of the JAR file manifest header of the revision. The returned map is case insensitive.

Returns:
the case-insensitive JAR file manifest header of the revision.
Throws:
Exception - if any error occurs.

getContent

public abstract IContent getContent()
                             throws Exception
Throws:
Exception

dispose

public abstract void dispose()
                      throws Exception

This method is called when the revision is no longer needed. The directory associated with the revision will automatically be removed for each revision, so this method only needs to be concerned with other issues, such as open files.

Throws:
Exception - if any error occurs.
