Class CachingResourceStreamLocator

java.lang.Object

org.apache.wicket.core.util.resource.locator.caching.CachingResourceStreamLocator

All Implemented Interfaces:

IResourceStreamLocator

public class CachingResourceStreamLocator
extends Object
implements IResourceStreamLocator

Locating resources can take a significant amount of time, especially since there are often several CSS, JavaScript and image resources on any given page. To facilitate localization and styling, Wicket will usually make several attempts at locating each resource (i.e. first with an "en_US" suffix, then "en", and so on); multiply these attempts by the number of resources on the page and this starts to add up.

This locator mitigates this problem by caching (indefinitely) references to UrlResourceStream and FileResourceStream objects as they are found, and NullResourceStreamReference for all which are missing so they are not looked up again and again.

public CachingResourceStreamLocator(IResourceStreamLocator resourceStreamLocator)

Construct.

Parameters:

resourceStreamLocator - the delegate

Method Details

locate

public IResourceStream locate(Class<?> clazz,
 String path)

Locate a resource, given a path and class. Typically this method is either called by external clients if they are not interested in a lookup that takes the style and locale into account, or it is called by the implementation of IResourceStreamLocator.locate(Class, String, String, String, java.util.Locale, String, boolean) where the latter just takes care of trying out the different combinations for the provided style and locale and uses this method to actually load the resource stream. Checks for IResourceStreamReference in the cache and returns null if the result is NullResourceStreamReference.INSTANCE, or FileResourceStream / UrlResourceStream if there is an entry in the cache. Otherwise asks the delegate to find one and puts it in the cache.

Specified by:

locate in interface IResourceStreamLocator

Parameters:

clazz - The class loader for delegating the loading of the resource

path - The path of the resource

Returns:

The resource or null

locate

public IResourceStream locate(Class<?> scope,
 String path,
 String style,
 String variation,
 Locale locale,
 String extension,
 boolean strict)

Description copied from interface: IResourceStreamLocator

Locate a resource by combining the given path, style, variation, locale and extension parameters. The exact search order depends on the implementation.

Specified by:

locate in interface IResourceStreamLocator

Parameters:

scope - The class loader for delegating the loading of the resource

path - The path of the resource

style - Any resource style, such as a skin style (see Session)

variation - The component's variation (of the style)

locale - The locale of the resource to load

extension - A comma separate list of extensions

strict - whether the specified attributes must match exactly

Returns:

The resource or null

newResourceNameIterator

public IResourceNameIterator newResourceNameIterator(String path,
 Locale locale,
 String style,
 String variation,
 String extension,
 boolean strict)

Description copied from interface: IResourceStreamLocator

Markup resources and Properties files both need to iterate over different combinations of locale, style, etc.. And though no single locate(..) method exists which is used by both, they both use ResourceNameIterators.

Specified by:

newResourceNameIterator in interface IResourceStreamLocator

Parameters:

path - The path of the resource

locale - The locale of the resource to load

style - Any resource style, such as a skin style (see Session)

variation - The component's variation (of the style)

extension - A comma separate list of extensions

strict - whether the specified attributes must match exactly

Returns:

resource name iterator

clearCache

public void clearCache()

Clears the resource cache.
