Method Summary

AssemblyConfig	load() Loads the service assembly configuration from the supplied resource.
AssemblyConfig	load(java.io.File file) Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL
AssemblyConfig	load(java.io.InputStream inputStream) Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL
AssemblyConfig	load(java.lang.String uri) Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL
void	setFile(java.io.File file) Set the system file for the service assembly configuration
void	setInputStream(java.io.InputStream inputStream) Set the input stream for the service assembly configuration
void	setUri(java.lang.String uri) Set the URI path for the service assembly configuration

Method Detail

setUri

public void setUri(java.lang.String uri)

Set the URI path for the service assembly configuration

Parameters:

uri -

Returns:

setFile

public void setFile(java.io.File file)

Set the system file for the service assembly configuration

Returns:

setInputStream

public void setInputStream(java.io.InputStream inputStream)

Set the input stream for the service assembly configuration

Returns:

load

public AssemblyConfig load()

Loads the service assembly configuration from the supplied resource.

1. The implementation checks for existance of an InputStream, if it is found, and the stream is opened and available, then method uses the stream.
2. If the File exists, then the method loads the configuration from the system file.
3. Finally the implementation tries to load the configuration URI path. It constructs an URL and attempts to retrieve stream from the resource.

Returns:

Assembly configuration root

Throws:

AssemblyConfigException - if the configuration fails to load

load

public AssemblyConfig load(java.lang.String uri)

Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL

Returns:

Assembly configuration object data graph

Throws:

AssemblyConfigException - if the configuration fails to load

load

public AssemblyConfig load(java.io.File file)

Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL

Returns:

Assembly configuration object data graph

Throws:

AssemblyConfigException - if the configuration fails to load

load

public AssemblyConfig load(java.io.InputStream inputStream)

Loads the service assembly configuration path from the specified URL

Returns:

Assembly configuration object data graph

Throws:

AssemblyConfigException - if the configuration fails to load
