      org.codehaus.groovy.grails.io.support.ClassPathResource

All Implemented Interfaces:

Resource

public class ClassPathResource
extends AbstractFileResolvingResource

Resource implementation for class path resources. Uses either a given ClassLoader or a given Class for loading resources.

Supports resolution as java.io.File if the class path resource resides in the file system, but not for resources in a JAR. Always supports resolution as URL.

Since:

28.12.2003

ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String), Class.getResourceAsStream(String)

Constructor Detail

ClassPathResource

public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path)

Create a new ClassPathResource for ClassLoader usage. A leading slash will be removed, as the ClassLoader resource access methods will not accept it.

The thread context class loader will be used for loading the resource.

Parameters:

path - the absolute path within the class path

See Also:

ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String)

ClassPathResource

public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path,
                         java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader)

Create a new ClassPathResource for ClassLoader usage. A leading slash will be removed, as the ClassLoader resource access methods will not accept it.

Parameters:

path - the absolute path within the classpath

classLoader - the class loader to load the resource with, or null for the thread context class loader

See Also:

ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String)

ClassPathResource

public ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path,
                         java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Create a new ClassPathResource for Class usage. The path can be relative to the given class, or absolute within the classpath via a leading slash.

Parameters:

path - relative or absolute path within the class path

clazz - the class to load resources with

See Also:

Class.getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String)

ClassPathResource

protected ClassPathResource(java.lang.String path,
                            java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader,
                            java.lang.Class<?> clazz)

Create a new ClassPathResource with optional ClassLoader and Class. Only for internal usage.

Parameters:

path - relative or absolute path within the classpath

classLoader - the class loader to load the resource with, if any

clazz - the class to load resources with, if any

Method Detail

getPath

public final java.lang.String getPath()

Return the path for this resource (as resource path within the class path).

getClassLoader

public final java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoader()

Return the ClassLoader that this resource will be obtained from.

exists

public boolean exists()

This implementation checks for the resolution of a resource URL.

Specified by:

exists in interface Resource

Overrides:

exists in class AbstractFileResolvingResource

See Also:

ClassLoader.getResource(String), Class.getResource(String)

getInputStream

public java.io.InputStream getInputStream()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

This implementation opens an InputStream for the given class path resource.

Returns:

The input stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

See Also:

ClassLoader.getResourceAsStream(String), Class.getResourceAsStream(String)

getURL

public java.net.URL getURL()
                    throws java.io.IOException

This implementation returns a URL for the underlying class path resource.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URL, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

See Also:

ClassLoader.getResource(String), Class.getResource(String)

getURI

public java.net.URI getURI()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from interface: Resource

Return a URI handle for this resource.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the resource cannot be resolved as URI, i.e. if the resource is not available as descriptor

createRelative

public Resource createRelative(java.lang.String relativePath)

This implementation creates a ClassPathResource, applying the given path relative to the path of the underlying resource of this descriptor.

Parameters:

relativePath - The relative path

Returns:

The new resource

getFilename

public java.lang.String getFilename()

This implementation returns the name of the file that this class path resource refers to.

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

This implementation returns a description that includes the class path location.

See Also:

Object.toString()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

This implementation compares the underlying class path locations.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

This implementation returns the hash code of the underlying class path location.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object
