JBoss API: Class WebServer

Class WebServer

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.jboss.web.WebServer
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Runnable

public class WebServer
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

A mini webserver that should be embedded in another application. It can server any file that is available from classloaders that are registered with it, including class-files. Its primary purpose is to simplify dynamic class-loading in RMI. Create an instance of it, register a classloader with your classes, start it, and you'll be able to let RMI-clients dynamically download classes from it. It is configured by calling any methods programmatically prior to startup.

Constructor Detail

WebServer

public WebServer()
Method Detail

setPort

public void setPort(int p)
Set the http listening port

getPort

public int getPort()
Get the http listening port
Returns:
the http listening port

getBindAddress

public java.lang.String getBindAddress()

setBindAddress

public void setBindAddress(java.lang.String host)

getBacklog

public int getBacklog()
Get the server sockets listen queue depth
Returns:
the listen queue depth

setBacklog

public void setBacklog(int backlog)
Set the server sockets listen queue depth

getDownloadServerClasses

public boolean getDownloadServerClasses()

setDownloadServerClasses

public void setDownloadServerClasses(boolean flag)

addMimeType

public void addMimeType(java.lang.String extension,
                        java.lang.String type)
Augment the type suffix to mime type mappings
Parameters:
extension, - the type extension without a period(class, txt)
type, - the mime type string

start

public void start()
           throws java.io.IOException
Start the web server on port and begin listening for requests.

stop

public void stop()
Close the web server listening socket

addClassLoader

public java.net.URL addClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader cl)
Add a class loader to the web server map and return the URL that should be used as the annotated codebase for classes that are to be available via RMI dynamic classloading. The codebase URL is formed by taking the java.rmi.server.codebase system property and adding a subpath unique for the class loader instance.
Parameters:
cl, - the ClassLoader instance to begin serving download requests for
Returns:
the annotated codebase to use if java.rmi.server.codebase is set, null otherwise.
See Also:
getClassLoaderKey(ClassLoader)

removeClassLoader

public void removeClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader cl)
Remove a class loader previously added via addClassLoader
Parameters:
cl, - the ClassLoader previously added via addClassLoader

run

public void run()
Listen threads entry point. Here we accept a client connection and located requested classes/resources using the class loader specified in the http request.
Specified by:
run in interface java.lang.Runnable

getClassLoaderKey

protected java.lang.String getClassLoaderKey(java.lang.ClassLoader cl)
Create the string key used as the key into the loaderMap.
Returns:
The class loader instance key.

listen

protected void listen()

getPath

protected java.lang.String getPath(java.io.BufferedReader in)
                            throws java.io.IOException
Returns:
the path portion of the HTTP request header.

getBytes

protected byte[] getBytes(java.net.URL url)
                   throws java.io.IOException
Read the local class/resource contents into a byte array.

getMimeType

protected java.lang.String getMimeType(java.lang.String path)
Lookup the mime type for the suffix of the path argument.
Returns:
the mime-type string for path.
