Constructor Detail

GCUBEPluginManager

public GCUBEPluginManager()

Method Detail

setLogger

public void setLogger(GCUBELog logger)

Sets the instance logger.

Parameters:

logger - the logger.

initialise

public void initialise(GCUBEServiceContext context,
              GCUBEPluginManagerProfile managerProfile)
                throws Exception

Initialises the manager with the context of the associated service.

Parameters:

context - the context.

managerProfile - the profile of the plugin manager.

Throws:

Exception - if the manager could not be initialised.

getMainClass

protected abstract Class<PLUGINCONTEXT> getMainClass()

Returns the type of GCUBEPluginContext expected by the associated service.

Returns:

the type.

validateMainClass

public PLUGINCONTEXT validateMainClass(Class<?> contextClass)
                                                           throws Exception

Validates and instantiate the main class of the plugin.

By default, the class is valid if it is compatible with GCUBEPluginContext and can be reflectively instantiated. Subclasses may extend the default implementation to guarantee that further constraints are met (e.g. that it implements required interfaces).

Returns:

an instance of the main classtrue if the main class is valid, false otherwise.

Throws:

Exception - if the class is not valid.

getPlugins

public Map<String,PLUGINCONTEXT> getPlugins()

Returns the contexts of all the plugins that are currently registered with the manager.

Returns:

the plugin contexts, indexed by name.

registerPlugin

public void registerPlugin(GCUBEService plugin,
                  boolean... persisted)
                    throws GCUBEPluginManager.PluginAlreadyRegisteredException,
                           Exception

Register a plugin with the manager.

Parameters:

plugin - the GCUBEService resource that models the plugin.

persisted - (optional) true if the plugin ought to be persisted (default), false otherwise.

Throws:

GCUBEPluginManager.PluginAlreadyRegisteredException - if the plugin is already registered

Exception - if the plugin could not be registered.

deregisterPlugin

public void deregisterPlugin(String name)
                      throws Exception

DeRegister a plugin from the manager.

Parameters:

name - the name of the plugin.

Throws:

Exception - if the plugin did not exist or could not be deregistered.

getPortTypeContexts

protected abstract GCUBEPortTypeContext[] getPortTypeContexts()

Returns the contexts of the port-types of the associated service, so as to configure type mappings for them if any are provided by plugins via the associated GCUBEPluginContext).

Returns:

the contexts.

subscribe

public void subscribe(GCUBEPluginManager.PluginConsumer<PLUGINCONTEXT> c,
             GCUBEPluginManager.PluginTopic... topics)

Subscribes a consumer to one or more registration events.

Parameters:

c - the consumer.

topics - (optional) topics the topics, all if omitted.

unsubscribe

public void unsubscribe(GCUBEPluginManager.PluginConsumer<PLUGINCONTEXT> c,
               GCUBEPluginManager.PluginTopic... topics)

Unsubscribes a consumer from one or more registration events.

Parameters:

c - the consumer.

topics - (optional) topics the topics, all if omitted.
