Interface ContextFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

JpsContextFactory

public interface ContextFactory

This interface defines methods for retrieval of JpsContext instances.

Method Summary

JpsContext

getContext() Returns the default JpsContext <p/> The 'default' context is determined as follows: if an application-level jps-config.xml exists, return the default JpsContext associated with the application-level jps-config.xml otherwise, return the system-level default JpsContext <p/> In MAS deployments, the system-level default JpsContext corresponds to the farm-level default JpsContext In OC4J standalone deployments (pre-MAS/OC4J integration), the system-level default JpsContext corresponds to the instance-level JpsContext (e.g.

JpsContext

getContext(java.lang.String name) Returns the JPS context associated with the specified name <p/> The search order is the same as in getContext(): if an application-level jps-config.xml exists, look for a configured JpsContext with the specified name, and if such a JpsContext exists, it's returned otherwise, look for a configured JpsContext with the specified name in the system-level jps-config.xml return null if no configured JpsContext with the specified name can be found

Method Detail

getContext

JpsContext getContext()
                      throws JpsException

Returns the default JpsContext <p/> The 'default' context is determined as follows:

1. if an application-level jps-config.xml exists, return the default JpsContext associated with the application-level jps-config.xml
2. otherwise, return the system-level default JpsContext

<p/> In MAS deployments, the system-level default JpsContext corresponds to the farm-level default JpsContext In OC4J standalone deployments (pre-MAS/OC4J integration), the system-level default JpsContext corresponds to the instance-level JpsContext (e.g. j2ee/home/config/jps-config.xml for oc4j_extended.zip-based deployments) For J2SE standalone application deployments, the system-level default JpsContext corresponds to the default configuration set via the "oracle.security.jps.config" system property

Returns:

the default JpsContext

Throws:

JpsException - if an error condition is encountered during the invocation of this method

getContext

JpsContext getContext(java.lang.String name)
                      throws JpsException

Returns the JPS context associated with the specified name <p/> The search order is the same as in getContext():

1. if an application-level jps-config.xml exists, look for a configured JpsContext with the specified name, and if such a JpsContext exists, it's returned
2. otherwise, look for a configured JpsContext with the specified name in the system-level jps-config.xml
3. return null if no configured JpsContext with the specified name can be found

Parameters:

name - name of the JpsContext to be looked up

Returns:

the JpsContext associated with the specified name, or null if not found.

Throws:

JpsException - if an error condition is encountered during the invocation of this method
