Interface ModuleActivator

All Known Implementing Classes:

StandardModuleActivator

public interface ModuleActivator

This class is used to activate the module during the process of module instalation. Examples of module activation actions are:

• request module key if module is not free
• copy some additional data in repository.
  For example, we distribute only Java code for GeneNet module, while GeneNet data is copied by module activator from MGL server.

Constants CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_BEFORE, CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_AFTER and CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_NEVER indicates when corresponding data collection should be created.

Field Summary

static int	CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_AFTER This consatant indicates that first createModule will be called and after that data collection corresponding to module packed in bmd file will be created.
static int	CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_BEFORE This consatant indicates that first the data collection corresponding to module packed in bmd file will be created, after that createModule will be called.
static int	CREATE_DATA_COLLECTION_NEVER This consatant indicates that createModule completely responsible for creation of data collection corresponding to module packed in bmd file.

Method Summary

Module	createModule(javax.swing.JDialog owner, Repository parent, java.util.jar.JarFile moduleFile, java.lang.String classpath, org.apache.log4j.Category cat, CreateDataCollectionController controller) Creates the module with initialised internal structure from moduleFile .
int	whenCreateDataCollection() Indicates when module data collection should be created by ModulePackager.
