Class BaseSelector
java.lang.Object
org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
org.apache.tools.ant.types.DataType
org.apache.tools.ant.types.selectors.BaseSelector
- All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Cloneable,ResourceSelector,FileSelector
- Direct Known Subclasses:
BaseExtendSelector,BaseSelectorContainer,ExtendSelector,MappingSelector,PresentSelector,ScriptSelector
public abstract class BaseSelector extends DataType implements FileSelector
A convenience base class that you can subclass Selectors from. It
provides some helpful common behaviour. Note that there is no need
for Selectors to inherit from this class, it is only necessary that
they implement FileSelector.

Method Details

setError
public void setError(java.lang.String msg)Allows all selectors to indicate a setup error. Note that only the first error message is recorded.- Parameters:
msg- The error message any BuildException should throw.
-
setError
public void setError(java.lang.String msg, java.lang.Throwable cause)Allows all selectors to indicate a setup error. Note that only the first error message is recorded.- Parameters:
msg- The error message any BuildException should throw.cause- Throwable
-
getError
public java.lang.String getError()Returns any error messages that have been set.- Returns:
- the error condition
-
verifySettings
public void verifySettings()Subclasses can override this method to provide checking of their state. So long as they call validate() from isSelected(), this will be called automatically (unless they override validate()).
Implementations should check for incorrect settings and call setError() as necessary.
-
validate
public void validate()Subclasses can use this to throw the requisite exception in isSelected() in the case of an error condition. -
isSelected
public abstract boolean isSelected(java.io.File basedir, java.lang.String filename, java.io.File file)Method that each selector will implement to create their selection behaviour. If there is a problem with the setup of a selector, it can throw a BuildException to indicate the problem.- Specified by:
isSelectedin interfaceFileSelector- Parameters:
basedir- A java.io.File object for the base directoryfilename- The name of the file to checkfile- A File object for this filename- Returns:
- whether the file should be selected or not
