| <B>New Extension Point: URL Stream Handler Service</B> |
| </P> |
| </TD> |
| <TD vAlign=top width="70%"> |
| <p><br></p> |
| Normally, when creating an instance of <b>java.net.URL</b>, it's necessary to use one of the 'built-in' protocols...e.g. http, ftp, file, etc. Any other protocols |
| will not have an URLStreamHandler associated with them, and the <b>java.net.URL</b> constructor will throw a MalformedURLException. For example: |
| <p></p> |
| <pre> |
| // throws MalformedURLException |
| URL anURL = new URL("foobar://whateverIwanttohave/here/and/there/and/everywhere"); |
| </pre> |
| The new ECF filetransfer extension point <b>org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.urlStreamHandlerService</b> allows plugins to add new URL protocols |
| to the Platform, and register a class for handling the parsing of the URL and/or the creation of URLConnection instances (via the URL.openConnection() |
| method). So, for example the following extension will setup a 'foobar' protocol handler service: |
| <p></p> |
| <pre> |
| <extension |
| point="org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.urlStreamHandlerService"> |
| <urlStreamHandlerService |
| protocol="foobar" |
| serviceClass="org.eclipse.ecf.tests.filetransfer.TestURLStreamHandlerService"> |
| </urlStreamHandlerService> |
| </extension> |
| </pre> |
| |
| With such an extension defined, and the ECF filetransfer API plugin started, the following code will no longer throw an exception: |
| <pre> |
| // does not throw MalformedURLException |
| URL anURL = new URL("foobar://whateverIwanttohave/here/and/there/and/everywhere"); |
| URLConnection connection = anURL.openConnection(); |
| </pre> |
| Note that the 'serviceClass' must be a valid subclass of <b>org.osgi.service.url.AbstractURLStreamHandlerService</b>. |
| Here is a trivial example implementation class: |
| <p></p> |
| <pre> |
| public class TestURLStreamHandlerService extends |
| AbstractURLStreamHandlerService { |
| |
| } |
| /* (non-Javadoc) |
| * @see org.osgi.service.url.AbstractURLStreamHandlerService#openConnection(java.net.URL) |
| */ |
| public URLConnection openConnection(URL u) throws IOException { |
| return new TestHttpURLConnection(u); |
| } |
| |
| } |
| </pre> |
| See also the extension point documentation for the <b>org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.urlStreamHandlerService</b> extension point. |
