Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
Methods Summary
public java.util.Enumerationentries()
Returns an enumeration of the module file entries. All elements in the enumeration are of type String. Each String represents a file name relative to the root of the module.

return
an enumeration of the archive file entries.

public DDBean[]getChildBean(java.lang.String xpath)
Return an array of standard beans representing the XML content returned based upon the XPath.

param
xpath An XPath string identifying the data to be extracted from the deployment descriptor.
return
a array of DDBeans or 'null' if no matching data found.

public java.lang.ClassgetClassFromScope(java.lang.String className)
Retrieve the specified class from this deployable module.

One use: to get all finder methods from an EJB If the tool is attempting to package an module and retrieve a class from the package, the class request may fail. The class may not yet be available. The tool should respect the manifest cross-path entries.

param
className Class to retrieve.
return
Class representation of the class

public DDBeanRootgetDDBeanRoot()
Return the top level standard bean representing the root of the deployment descriptor.

return
A standard bean representing the deployment descriptor.

public DDBeanRootgetDDBeanRoot(java.lang.String filename)
Returns a DDBeanRoot object for the XML instance document named. This method should be used to return DDBeanRoot objects for non deployment descriptor XML instance documents such as WSDL files.

return
a DDBeanRoot object for the XML data.
throws
java.io.FileNotFoundException, if the named file can not be found
throws
javax.enterprise.deploy.model.exceptions.DDBeanCreateException if an error is encountered creating the DDBeanRoot object.

public java.io.InputStreamgetEntry(java.lang.String name)
Returns the InputStream for the given entry name The file name must be relative to the root of the module.

param
name the file name relative to the root of the module.
return
the InputStream for the given entry name or null if not found.

public java.lang.StringgetModuleDTDVersion()
Returns the DTD version number given in the XML DOCTYPE text provided in every standard J2EE module's deployment descriptor file.

return
a string containing the DTD version number
A module's deployment descriptor file always contains
a document type identifier, DOCTYPE. The DOCTYPE statement
contains the module DTD version number in the label of the
statement.

The format of the DOCTYPE statement is:
    <!DOCTYPE root_element PUBLIC "-//organization//label//language" "location">
root_element - is the name of the root document in the DTD. organization - is the name of the organization responsible for the creation and maintenance of the DTD being referenced. label - is a unique descriptive name for the public text being referenced. language - is the ISO 639 language id representing the natural language encoding of th DTD. location - is the URL of the DTD. An example J2EE deployment descriptor DOCTYPE statement is:
    <!DOCTYPE application-client PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application Client 1.3//EN" "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application-client_1_3.dtd">
In this example the label is, "DTD J2EE Application Client 1.3", and the DTD version number is 1.3. A call to getModuleDTDVersion would return a string containing, "1.3".
This method is being deprecated. With the addition of multiple deployment descritors in components for J2EE 1.4 this method is being replaced by DDBeanRoot.getDDBeanRootVersion.
deprecated
As of version 1.1 replaced by DDBeanRoot.getDDBeanRootVersion()

public java.lang.String[]getText(java.lang.String xpath)
Return the XML content associated with the XPath from a deployment descriptor.

param
xpath An xpath string referring to a location in the deployment descriptor
return
a list XML content or 'null' if no matching data found.

public javax.enterprise.deploy.shared.ModuleTypegetType()
Return the ModuleType of deployment descriptor (i.e., EAR, JAR, WAR, RAR) this deployable object represents. Values are found in DeploymentManager.

return
The ModuleType of deployable object
