public class ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

extends FileSystemXmlApplicationContext

Standalone XML application context, taking the context definition files from the classpath. Mainly useful for test harnesses, but also for application contexts embedded within JARs.

Note: Generally treats (file) paths as class path resources, when using ApplicationContext.getResourceAsStream. Only supports full classpath names including package specification, like "/mypackage/myresource.dat".

Constructor Detail

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(java.lang.String locations)
                               throws ApplicationContextException,
                                      java.io.IOException

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext

public ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(java.lang.String[] locations)
                               throws ApplicationContextException,
                                      java.io.IOException

Method Detail

createParentContext

protected ApplicationContext createParentContext(java.lang.String[] locations)
                                          throws java.io.IOException

Overrides:

createParentContext in class FileSystemXmlApplicationContext

getResourceByPath

protected java.io.InputStream getResourceByPath(java.lang.String path)
                                         throws java.io.IOException

This implementation treats paths as classpath resources. Only supports full classpath names including package specification, like "/mypackage/myresource.dat".

Overrides:

getResourceByPath in class AbstractApplicationContext

Following copied from class: com.interface21.context.support.AbstractApplicationContext

Parameters:

path - path to the resource

Returns:

InputStream for the specified resource, can be null if not found (instead of throwing an exception)

Throws:

java.io.IOException - exception when opening the specified resource

getResourceBasePath

public java.lang.String getResourceBasePath()

This implementation returns null, as there is no base path for class path resources.

Overrides:

getResourceBasePath in class AbstractApplicationContext

Following copied from interface: com.interface21.context.ApplicationContext

Returns:

the resource base path (ending with a separator), or null
