public interface Extensible

Excluded in public API Reference.

An interface for module implementations to identify modules that have module extensions attached to them. A container that implements a Module or a ToolsModule may choose to additionally mark it as Extensible in case it wants to support extensions. Module extensions are driven through various life cycle states along with the extensible module that created them. The ordering of a module extension relative to the extensible module and relative to each other is dependent on certain attributes obtained from the module extension itself. Module extensions are created for an extensible module right after the phase where descriptors are parsed. For deployment, module extensions are created after Module initialization and for tools, the module extensions are created after ToolsModule compile or merge. During module extension creation, getModuleExtensionContext is invoked to obtain the context for extension creation. If the extensible module implementation wishes to disable extension creation, a null must be returned. Extension creation is then abandoned for the extensible module and other methods are not invoked.

Method Detail

getType

java.lang.String getType()

Returns:

Extensible module's type to help identify relevant factories for module creation

getModuleExtensionContext

ModuleExtensionContext getModuleExtensionContext()

Returns:

Context to be used for module extension creation. If module extension creation must be disabled for some reason, a null may be returned

getStandardDescriptor

Descriptor getStandardDescriptor()

Returns:

Standard deployment descriptor for the module. May be null if the module does not have the standard descriptor
