Interface Universe

All Known Implementing Classes:

CompositeUniverse, Package, Packages, Repository

public interface Universe

Represent the universe to use to compile a component. The universe is the entire set of packages visible to the processor. This concept is similar to Java's classpath, Perl's INC list or Python's module search path. TODO: Returning a Source in return of #resolve() is probably not what we want. What for instance if the matched component is an extension written in, say, Java. It makes not sense to return a stream source then. We should rather use a listener mechanism.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
javax.xml.transform.Source	resolve(java.lang.String href, URISpace space) Resolve a specific URI, in a specific space, into a stream source.
javax.xml.transform.Source	resolve(java.lang.String href, URISpace space, boolean transitive) Resolve a specific URI, in a specific space, into a stream source.

Method Detail

resolve

javax.xml.transform.Source resolve(java.lang.String href,
                                   URISpace space)
                            throws PackageException

Resolve a specific URI, in a specific space, into a stream source. Whether package dependencies are used to resolve the href has to be defined by each implementation of this interface.

Parameters:

href - the URI

space - the URI space

Returns:

the source

Throws:

PackageException - if an error occurs

resolve

javax.xml.transform.Source resolve(java.lang.String href,
                                   URISpace space,
                                   boolean transitive)
                            throws PackageException

Resolve a specific URI, in a specific space, into a stream source.

Parameters:

href - the URI

space - the URI space

transitive - true if package dependencies are used to resolve the href

Returns:

the source

Throws:

PackageException - if an error occurs
