TreeManager (Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API Reference for Oracle Extension SDK)

All Known Subinterfaces:

JavaModel
```
public interface TreeManager
```
The TreeManager serves as a FileT factory. Clients obtain FileTs by requesting a FileT from the manager and by creating empty FileTs through the manager. Clients change the writability of FileTs by opening and closing TreeTransactions. For the sake of transaction consistency, a FileT belongs to exactly one TreeManager for the lifetime of the FileT.
The TreeManager owns a single lockable resource (which may be itself) which must, at the minumum, provide the functionality of a read-write lock. Each FileT is tied to a single lockable resource (which may be itself) which is defined by the owning IDE. This may be an IDE lock controlling the writable of the underlying resource. Because the FileT's lock is not defined by the owning IDE and not the owning TreeManager, it is the responsibility (or neglect) of the owning IDE to safeguard against deadlocks and starvation.
Attempting to make any change to a FileT marked as read-only will result in an IllegalStateException. Attempting to mark a FileT as writable when the FileT's underlying resource is not writable may result in a RuntimeException, at the discretion of the owning IDE. Although a FileT is logically writable only on the thread that made it writable, this manager does not enforce that policy.
To start a transaction, call beginTransaction on the FileT in question.
Opening a new transaction that conflicts with an already open transaction results in an IllegalStateException. This TreeManager does not provide blocking operations on its transaction state. Attempting to close a transaction on a thread different than than the opening thread results in a IllegalStateException. A nested transaction is not considered to be at conflict with its enclosing transaction.
Write on commit
The change to the underlying source file is not made until the owning transaction is committed. Transactions collect changes made to a FileT and then write them out to disk on commit. The only exception to this is anonymous FileTs, which have no underlying file. This is done to ensure that IDE listeners fire at the right time. Thus, a FileT change is not considered to be "done" by the IDE until its owning transaction has been committed.
The scope of a transaction is a single FileT. In a read-only state, no changes are allowed. All FileTs areinitially marked as read-only except for anonymous files. A FileT is writable if and only if there is an open transaction on it.
A transaction is nested if and only if, on open, there was already an open transaction on the target FileT. At this writing, nested transactions are not supported and result in an IllegalStateException. They may be supported in a later release.

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`cloneSourceFile(FileT source, FileT destination)` Clears the destination FileT (unlinks all its children), clones the source FileT contents, and links the cloned Trees into the destination FileT.
`FileT`	`createSourceFile(java.net.URI sourceURI)` Creates a new FileT for the given Java source URI (*.java).
`FileT`	`getAnonymousFile()` Fetches an anonymous file.
`FileT`	`getSourceFile(java.net.URI sourceURI)` Fetches the FileT for at the given URI (usually of the form *.java).

- Method Detail
  - getSourceFile
```
FileT getSourceFile(java.net.URI sourceURI)
```
    Fetches the FileT for at the given URI (usually of the form *.java). The classes contained in the file represented by the URI can be fetched from the source file. If the URI does not represent a Java source file (e.g. it is a JPEG file), or if the URI points to a non-existing file, then null is returned.
    Newly fetched FileTs are marked read-only. Previously fetched FileTs retain their previous read-only/writable state.
    
    Parameters:
    sourceURI - The target URI.
    
    Returns:
    The FileT representing the compilation unit at the specified URI.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the URI is not recognized as a Java source file.
  - createSourceFile
```
FileT createSourceFile(java.net.URI sourceURI)
                       throws java.io.IOException
```
    Creates a new FileT for the given Java source URI (*.java). This will create a new empty file for the given URI, and return the FileT instance for it. If the file already exists on disk, then this will return null.
    
    Parameters:
    sourceURI - The target URI.
    
    Returns:
    The FileT for the newly created compilation unit at the specified URI, null if the file was not created.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - if the new file cannot be created.
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the URI is not recognized as a Java source file.
  - getAnonymousFile
```
FileT getAnonymousFile()
```
    Fetches an anonymous file. This file is not tied to a URI.
    An anonymous file is not attached to any URI or lockable resource, can not be referenced outside, is always writable, and does not participate in transaction mechanics. All TreeResolver operations may be validly performed on the anonymous file as on any other file.
    This is useful for debugging features who may need to parse anonymous expressions.
    Must always return a different non-null FileT each time.
    
    Returns:
    A FileT for an anonymous file.
  - cloneSourceFile
```
void cloneSourceFile(FileT source,
                   FileT destination)
```
    Clears the destination FileT (unlinks all its children), clones the source FileT contents, and links the cloned Trees into the destination FileT. No transactions are opened in the process. The source FileT may be an anonymous file and may even belong to a different TreeManager.
    If the destination FileT cannot be written to, an exception will be thrown.
    
    Parameters:
    source - The source FileT.
    destination - The destination FileT.
