org.eclipse.wst.server.core.model
Class ModuleDelegate

java.lang.Object
  extended by 
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.model.ModuleDelegate
Direct Known Subclasses:
ProjectModule

public abstract class ModuleDelegate
extends java.lang.Object

A module delegate provides a mechanism for discovering information about individual modules. Modules are returned from module factory delegates; their delegates are created when ModuleFactoryDelegate.createModule() is called.

When the module needs to be given a delegate, the delegate class specified for the module is instantiated with a 0-argument constructor.

Module delegates may keep state in instance fields, but that state is transient and will not be persisted across workbench sessions.

This abstract class is intended to be extended only by clients to extend the moduleFactories extension point.

Since:
1.0

IModule, ModuleFactoryDelegate

Constructor Summary

 void initialize ( IModule newModule)
          Initializes this module delegate with its life-long module instance.

Constructor Detail

ModuleDelegate

public ModuleDelegate()
Delegates must have a public 0-arg constructor.

Method Detail

initialize

public final void initialize(
IModule newModule)
Initializes this module delegate with its life-long module instance.

This method is called by the server core framework. Clients should never call this method.

Parameters:
newModule - the module instance

initialize

public void initialize()
Initializes this module delegate. This method gives delegates a chance to do their own initialization.

This method is called by the server core framework. Clients should never call this method.


getModule

public 
IModule getModule()
Returns the module that this module delegate corresponds to.

Returns:
the module

validate

public abstract IStatus validate()
Validates this module instance. Subclasses should override and call super.validate() for basic validation.

This method is called by the web server core framework. Clients should never call this method.

Returns:
a status object with code IStatus.OK if this module is valid, otherwise a status object indicating what is wrong with it

getChildModules

public abstract 
IModule[] getChildModules()
Returns the child modules of this module.

Returns:
a possibly empty array of child modules

members

public abstract 
IModuleResource[] members()
                                   throws CoreException
Returns the current array of module artifacts.

Returns:
a possibly empty array containing the module resources
Throws:
CoreException - thrown if there is a problem getting the members
