  • Method Details

    • internalResolve

      protected Map internalResolve(String className, ClassLoader classLoader, Map properties) throws ResolverException
      Tries to load an XMLClassDescriptor directly from an existing .class file.
      The file that is searched for must be located in the classpath, have the name className + "Descriptor", and contain a valid XMLClassDescriptor.
      If a descriptor is found it is added to the internal descriptor cache.
      The required parameter checks are in the public method and here we expect that the resolve logic itself is implemented.
      Specified by:
      internalResolve in class AbstractResolverClassCommand
      Parameters:
      className - the name of the class to resolve
      classLoader - the class loader to use
      properties - the resolve properties to use
      Returns:
      a Map of className and XMLClassDescriptor
      Throws:
      ResolverException - if unrecoverable problems in resolve occured
