Class ActionIterator<A extends Action>

java.lang.Object
net.sf.basedb.util.extensions.ActionIterator<A>
All Implemented Interfaces:
Iterator<A>
public class ActionIterator<A extends Action> extends Object implements Iterator<A>
Iterator for iterating over all actions that will be created by extensions after a call to Registry.useExtensions(ClientContext, ExtensionsFilter, String...). That method returns an ExtensionsInvoker object which in it's turn uses this iterator.

Note the phrase "will be created" above. The actions are created on demand as this iterator moves on the next item. This happens in the hasNext() method, which, for each extension, calls Extension.getActionFactory() and then ActionFactory.getActions(InvokationContext).

The actions returned from the extensions are piled up in an internal buffer that the next() method pick items from. When the buffer is empty the iterator moves on to the actions from next extension until there are no more extensions and the action buffer is empty.

    • validActions

      private boolean validActions(A[] actions)
      Check that the actions array is a not-null, non-empty array and contains actions of a type that is compatible with the ExtensionPoint.getActionClass() class.

      NOTE! If the array contains at least one invalid action, all actions, including the valid ones, will be ignored. No exception will be thrown. An error-level log message is written to the log file.

      Parameters:
      actions - The actions to check
      Returns:
      TRUE if the actions are valid, FALSE otherwise
