public class ClasspathCrawler extends Object implements DataProvider
This class handles a list of data files or zip/jar archives located in the
classpath. Since the classpath is not a tree structure the list elements
cannot be whole directories recursively browsed as in DirectoryCrawler
, they must be data files or zip/jar archives.
A typical use case is to put all data files in a single zip or jar archive and to build an instance of this class with the single name of this zip/jar archive. Two different instances may be used one for user or project specific data and another one for system-wide or general data.
All registered
filters
are applied.
Zip archives entries are supported recursively.
This is a simple application of the visitor
design pattern for
list browsing.

public ClasspathCrawler(String... list)
Calling this constructor has the same effect as calling
ClasspathCrawler(ClassLoader, String...)
with
ClasspathCrawler.class.getClassLoader()
as first
argument.

- list of data file names within the classpathpublic ClasspathCrawler(ClassLoader classLoader, String... list)
classLoader
- class loader to use to retrieve the resourceslist

The method crawls all files referenced in the instance (for example all files in a directories tree) and for each file supported by the file loader it asks the file loader to load it.
If the method completes without exception, then the data loader
is considered to have been fed successfully and the top level
data providers manager
will return
immediately without attempting to use the next configured providers.
If the method completes abruptly with an exception, then the top level
data providers manager
will try to use
the next configured providers, in case another one can feed the
data loader
.
