Interface ModuleMetadataFileFinder

All Known Implementing Classes:

ExtendedStatisticsMetadataFileFinder, InterpreterMetadataFileFinder, QueryMetadataFileFinder, RemoteQueryMetadataFileFinder, ServerCoreMetadataFileFinder

public interface ModuleMetadataFileFinder

This interface should be implemented by all Infinispan modules that expect to have components using Inject, Start or Stop annotations. The metadata file is generated at build time and packaged in the module's corresponding jar file (see Infinispan's

core

module

pom.xml

for an example of this).

Module component metadata is usually generated in a file titled

${module-name}-component-metadata.dat

and typically resides in the root of the module's jar file.

For example, Infinispan's Query Module would implement this interface to return

infinispan-query-component-metadata.dat

.

Implementations of this interface are discovered using the JDK's ServiceLoader utility. Which means modules would also have to package a file called

org.infinispan.factories.components.ModuleMetadataFileFinder

in the

META-INF/services/

folder in their jar, and this file would contain the fully qualified class name of the module's implementation of this interface.

Please see Infinispan's query module for an example of this.
