public class SDOHelperContext extends Object implements HelperContext
Purpose:
  • This class represents a local HelperContext. The global HelperContext can be accessed as HelperProvider.getDefaultContext().
Responsibilities:
  • Provide access to instances of helper objects.
  • Provide an OSGi compatible HelperContext (when the constructor that takes a ClassLoader is used).
Since:
Oracle TopLink 11.1.1.0.0

  • Constructor Details

    • SDOHelperContext

      public SDOHelperContext()
      Create a local HelperContext. The current thread's context ClassLoader will be used to find static instance classes. In OSGi environments the construct that takes a ClassLoader parameter should be used instead.

    • SDOHelperContext

      public SDOHelperContext(String identifier)
      Create a local HelperContext with the given identifier. The current thread's context ClassLoader will be used to find static instance classes. In OSGi environments the construct that takes a ClassLoader parameter should be used instead.
      Parameters:
      identifier - The unique label for this HelperContext.

    • SDOHelperContext

      public SDOHelperContext(ClassLoader aClassLoader)
      Create a local HelperContext. This constructor should be used in OSGi environments.
      Parameters:
      aClassLoader - This class loader will be used to find static instance classes.

    • SDOHelperContext

      public SDOHelperContext(String identifier, ClassLoader aClassLoader)
      Create a local HelperContext with the given identifier. This constructor should be used in OSGi environments.
      Parameters:
      identifier - The unique label for this HelperContext.
      aClassLoader - This class loader will be used to find static instance classes.

      INTERNAL: Put a ClassLoader/HelperContext key/value pair in the Thread HelperContext map. If Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() == key during getHelperContext() call then the HelperContext (value) will be returned. This method will overwrite an existing entry in the map with the same ClassLoader key.
      Parameters:
      key - class loader
      value - helper context

    • removeHelperContext

      key - class loader

    • removeHelperContext

      public static void removeHelperContext(String identifier, ClassLoader key)

    • getHelperContext

      public static HelperContext getHelperContext()
      INTERNAL: Return the helper context for a given key. The key will either be a ClassLoader or a String (representing an application name). A new context will be created and put in the map if none exists for the given key. The key is assumed to be non-null - getDelegateKey should always return either a string representing the application name (for WLS, WAS and JBoss if available) or a class loader. This is relevant since 'putIfAbsent' will throw a null pointer exception if the key is null.
