Package org.jboss.modules

The primary JBoss Modules API. The key classes in this package are Module, ModuleLoader, ConcurrentClassLoader, and ModuleClassLoader. These classes make up the backbone of the module system.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
ClassTransformer	A class file transformer which operates on byte buffers.
IterableLocalLoader	A local loader which can enumerate its contents.
IterableModuleFinder	A module finder which is iterable.
IterableResourceLoader	A resource loader which has the ability to enumerate its contents.
LocalLoader	A loader which implements the local part of a module.
ModuleClassLoaderFactory	A producer for Module class loaders.
ModuleFinder	A locator for module definitions.
ModuleSpec.AliasBuilder	A builder for new alias module specifications.
ModuleSpec.Builder	A builder for new concrete module specifications.
PreMain	An initialization task which is run before the application's main method.
Resource	A single resource from a ResourceLoader.
ResourceLoader	A loader for resources from a specific resource root within a module.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractLocalLoader	An abstract local loader implementation.
AbstractResourceLoader	An abstract resource loader implementation.
AliasModuleSpec	A module specification for a module alias.
ClassDefiner	A hook for frameworks which need to define additional classes to a module's class loader.
ClassifyingModuleLoader	A module loader which selects a delegate module loader based upon the prefix of the module name.
ClassSpec	A class definition specification.
ConcreteModuleSpec	A Module specification for a concrete module implementation.
ConcurrentClassLoader	A classloader which can delegate to multiple other classloaders without risk of deadlock.
DelegatingModuleLoader	A module loader which searches its finders first, and then delegates to another loader if the module is not found.
DependencySpec	A dependency specification that represents a single dependency for a module.
DependencySpecBuilder	The base class of dependency specification builders.
DependencyTreeViewer	A dependency tree viewer utility.
FileSystemClassPathModuleFinder	A module finder which loads modules from individual JARs or directories on the file system, supporting the JAR specification headers as well as the extended MANIFEST headers supported by JBoss Modules.
JarModuleFinder	Deprecated. FileSystemClassPathModuleFinder and/or ResourceLoaderModuleFinder should be used instead for more complete functionality.
JDKModuleFinder
JLIClassTransformer	A wrapper around a ClassFileTransformer.
LocalDependencySpecBuilder	A local dependency specification builder, which includes a module's own content or some other, external content.
LocalLoaders	Static factory methods for various types of local loaders.
LocalModuleFinder	A module finder which locates module specifications which are stored in a local module repository on the filesystem, which uses module.xml descriptors.
LocalModuleLoader	A local filesystem-backed module loader.
Main	The main entry point of JBoss Modules when run as a JAR on the command line.
ModularAgent	The modular agent entry point.
Module	A module is a unit of classes and other resources, along with the specification of what is imported and exported by this module from and to other modules.
ModuleClassLoader	A module classloader.
ModuleClassLoader.Configuration	An opaque configuration used internally to create a module class loader.
ModuleDependencySpec	A dependency specification on a module.
ModuleDependencySpecBuilder	A builder for dependency specifications that refer to other modules.
ModuleIdentifier	Deprecated. This class has been deprecated in favor of name strings; however, programs using identifiers will continue to function correctly.
ModuleLoader	A repository for modules, from which a module may be loaded by identifier.
ModuleLoggerFinder	A logger finder which attempts to locate a System.LoggerFinder on the log managers class path.
ModuleSpec	A Module specification which is used by a ModuleLoader to define new modules.
NamedClassLoader	A class loader that may be named.
NativeLibraryResourceLoader	A base class for resource loaders which can load native libraries.
PackageSpec	A specification for a package to define.
PathUtils	General helpful path utility methods.
ResourceLoaderModuleFinder	A module loader which loads modules which are stored inside the modules directory of a single JAR or JAR-like root.
ResourceLoaders	Static factory methods for various types of resource loaders.
ResourceLoaderSpec	A specification of a resource loader within a module.
Version	A version for a module.
VersionDetection	A utility class to assist with detecting the version of a resource root or collection of resource roots.

AssertionSetting	The assertion setting for a package or class.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
JavaSeDeps
JDKModuleFinder	A module finder which finds a standard JDK module, a module on the JDK module path, or the special module org.jboss.modules.
ModuleLoadException	Module load exception, thrown when there is some problem loading a module.
ModuleLoggerFinder	A logger finder which attempts to locate a LoggerFinder on the log managers class path.
ModuleNotFoundException	Module not found exceptions are thrown when no module loaders can locate a module which fulfills a given module identifier.
NamedClassLoader	A class loader that may be named.

Error Summary

Error	Description
ModuleLoadError	Module load error, thrown when there is some problem loading a module during runtime.
