Class AnyResource


  • public class AnyResource
    extends com.zfabrik.resources.provider.Resource
    An arbitrary resource. For any class, a resource will be maintained that returns for any implemented class or interface of the given class.

      • invalidate

        public void invalidate()
                        throws com.zfabrik.resources.ResourceBusyException
        Description copied from class: com.zfabrik.resources.provider.Resource
        This method gets called whenever a dependency resource has been invalidated or this resource needs to be invalidated.

        This code should be executed in a life cycle code block of this resource instance, i.e. where dependencies are effectively managed, so that race conditions can be avoided.

        State changing methods of a resource should always be synchronized (e.g. on this). This is in particular true for cross-resource dependencies. In order to assure consistency under race conditions, a dependent resource should first declare its dependency and then retrieve the resource implementation. In case of failures, resources should clean up by calling handle().invalidate(true);

        Overrides:
        invalidate in class com.zfabrik.resources.provider.Resource
        Throws:
        com.zfabrik.resources.ResourceBusyException
