java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.AntTypeDefinition
public class AntTypeDefinition
extends java.lang.Object
This class contains all the information
on a particular ant type,
the classname, adaptor and the class
it should be assignable from.
This type replaces the task/datatype split
of pre ant 1.6.
checkClass
public void checkClass(Project project)
Checks if the attributes are correct.
if the class can be created.
if an adapter class can be created
if the type is assignable from adapto
if the type can be used with the adapter class
project
- the current project
create
public Object create(Project project)
create an instance of the definition.
The instance may be wrapped in a proxy class.
project
- the current project
- the created object
getClassLoader
public ClassLoader getClassLoader()
get the classloader for this definition
- the classloader for this definition
getClassName
public String getClassName()
get the classname of the definition
- the name of the class of this definition
getExposedClass
public Class getExposedClass(Project project)
get the exposed class for this
definition. This will be a proxy class
(adapted class) if there is an adapter
class and the definition class is not
assignable from the assignable class.
project
- the current project
- the exposed class
getName
public String getName()
return the definition's name
- the name of the definition
getTypeClass
public Class getTypeClass(Project project)
get the definition class
project
- the current project
- the type of the definition
sameDefinition
public boolean sameDefinition(AntTypeDefinition other,
Project project)
Equality method for this definition (assumes the names are the same)
other
- another definitionproject
- the project the definition
- true if the definitions are the same
setAdaptToClass
public void setAdaptToClass(Class adaptToClass)
set the assignable class for this definition.
adaptToClass
- the assignable class
setAdapterClass
public void setAdapterClass(Class adapterClass)
set the adapter class for this definition.
this class is used to adapt the definitions class if
required.
adapterClass
- the adapterClass
setClass
public void setClass(Class clazz)
set the class of the definition.
as a side-effect may set the classloader and classname
clazz
- the class of this definition
setClassLoader
public void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)
set the classloader to use to create an instance
of the definition
classLoader
- the classLoader
setClassName
public void setClassName(String className)
set the classname of the definition
className
- the classname of this definition
setName
public void setName(String name)
set the definition's name
name
- the name of the definition
similarDefinition
public boolean similarDefinition(AntTypeDefinition other,
Project project)
Similar definition
used to compare two definitions defined twice with the same
name and the same types.
the classloader may be different but have the same
path so #sameDefinition cannot
be used.
other
- the definition to compare toproject
- the current project
- true if the definitions are the same
