Class KLibLoader

      extended by org.kde.qt.QObject
          extended by org.kde.koala.KLibLoader
All Implemented Interfaces:
org.kde.qt.QtSupport

public class KLibLoader
extends org.kde.qt.QObject

The KLibLoader allows you to load libraries dynamically at runtime. Dependent libraries are loaded automatically. KLibLoader follows the singleton pattern. You can not create multiple instances. Use self() to get a pointer to the loader.

Constructor Detail

KLibLoader

protected KLibLoader(java.lang.Class dummy)

KLibLoader

public KLibLoader(org.kde.qt.QObject parent,
                  java.lang.String name)

KLibLoader

public KLibLoader(org.kde.qt.QObject parent)

KLibLoader

public KLibLoader()
Method Detail

metaObject

public org.kde.qt.QMetaObject metaObject()
Overrides:
metaObject in class org.kde.qt.QObject

className

public java.lang.String className()
Overrides:
className in class org.kde.qt.QObject

factory

public KLibFactory factory(java.lang.String libname)
Loads and initializes a library. Loading a library multiple times is handled gracefully. This is a convenience function that returns the factory immediately

Parameters:
libname - This is the library name without extension. Usually that is something like "libkspread". The function will then search for a file named "libkspread.la" in the KDE library paths. The .la files are created by libtool and contain important information especially about the libraries dependencies on other shared libs. Loading a "libfoo.so" could not solve the dependencies problem. You can, however, give a library name ending in ".so" (or whatever is used on your platform), and the library will be loaded without resolving dependencies. Use with caution.
Returns:
the KLibFactory, or 0 if the library does not exist or it does not have a factory
See Also:
#library

lastErrorMessage

public java.lang.String lastErrorMessage()
Returns an error message that can be useful to debug the problem. Returns null if the last call to library() was successful. You can call this function more than once. The error message is only reset by a new call to library().

Returns:
the last error message, or null if there was no error

unloadLibrary

public void unloadLibrary(java.lang.String libname)
Unloads the library with the given name.

Parameters:
libname - This is the library name without extension. Usually that is something like "libkspread". The function will then search for a file named "libkspread.la" in the KDE library paths. The .la files are created by libtool and contain important information especially about the libraries dependencies on other shared libs. Loading a "libfoo.so" could not solve the dependencies problem. You can, however, give a library name ending in ".so" (or whatever is used on your platform), and the library will be loaded without resolving dependencies. Use with caution.

self

public static KLibLoader self()
Returns a pointer to the factory. Use this function to get an instance of KLibLoader.

Returns:
a pointer to the loader. If no loader exists until now then one is created.

cleanUp

public static void cleanUp()
Internal Method, called by the KApplication destructor. Do not call it. This is what makes it possible to rely on ~KLibFactory being called in all cases, whether the library is unloaded while the application is running or when exiting.


findLibrary

public static java.lang.String findLibrary(java.lang.String name,
                                           KInstanceInterface instance)
Helper method which looks for a library in the standard paths ("module" and "lib" resources). Made public for code that doesn't use KLibLoader itself, but still wants to open modules.

Parameters:
name - of the library. If it is not a path, the function searches in the "module" and "lib" resources. If there is no extension, ".la" will be appended.
instance - a KInstance used to get the standard paths

findLibrary

public static java.lang.String findLibrary(java.lang.String name)

finalize

protected void finalize()
                 throws java.lang.InternalError
Deletes the wrapped C++ instance

Overrides:
finalize in class org.kde.qt.QObject
Throws:
java.lang.InternalError

dispose

public void dispose()
Delete the wrapped C++ instance ahead of finalize()

Overrides:
dispose in class org.kde.qt.QObject

isDisposed

public boolean isDisposed()
Has the wrapped C++ instance been deleted?

Overrides:
isDisposed in class org.kde.qt.QObject
