Package org.glassfish.api.deployment.archive

Interface CompositeHandler

All Superinterfaces:

ArchiveHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

EarHandler, OSGiArchiveHandler

@Contract
public interface CompositeHandler
extends ArchiveHandler

Composite handlers are just like any other ArchiveHandler except they get a chance at looking at the archive before the archive handlers do The main reason for this tag interface is that some archive handlers might be tricked into thinking a composite archive is theirs when in fact they only own a part of it. For instance, take a war file inside an ear file. and asssume that the war file contains some .jsp files. The archive handler responsible for handling the war file could be fooled into thinking the ear file is a war file since it contains jsp files, yet in reality, it only owns one of the sub archive bundled inside the composite ear file.
