Method Detail

init

public void init(ExtendedProperties configuration)

Description copied from class: ResourceLoader

Initialize the template loader with a a resources class.

Specified by:

init in class ResourceLoader

getResourceStream

public InputStream getResourceStream(String templateName)
                              throws ResourceNotFoundException

Get an InputStream so that the Runtime can build a template with it.

Specified by:

getResourceStream in class ResourceLoader

Parameters:

templateName - name of template to get

Returns:

InputStream containing the template

Throws:

ResourceNotFoundException - if template not found in the file template path.

isSourceModified

public boolean isSourceModified(Resource resource)

How to keep track of all the modified times across the paths. Note that a file might have appeared in a directory which is earlier in the path; so we should search the path and see if the file we find that way is the same as the one that we have cached.

Specified by:

isSourceModified in class ResourceLoader

Parameters:

resource -

Returns:

True if the source has been modified.

getLastModified

public long getLastModified(Resource resource)

Description copied from class: ResourceLoader

Get the last modified time of the InputStream source that was used to create the template. We need the template here because we have to extract the name of the template in order to locate the InputStream source.

Specified by:

getLastModified in class ResourceLoader

Returns:

Time in millis when the resource has been modified.
