public class CombinedReloadingController extends ReloadingController
A specialized
ReloadingController
implementation which manages an arbitrary number of otherReloadingController
objects.This class can be used to handle multiple simple controllers for reload operations as a single object. As a usage example consider a combined configuration containing a number of configuration sources of which some support reloading. In this scenario all
ReloadingController
instances for the reloading-enabled sources can be added to aCombinedReloadingController
. Then by triggering the combined controller a reload check is performed on all child sources.This class is a typical implementation of the composite pattern. An instance is constructed with a collection of sub
ReloadingController
objects. Its operations are implemented by delegating to all child controllers.This class expects the managed controller objects to be passed to the constructor. From this list a defensive copy is created so that it cannot be changed later on. Derived classes can override the
getSubControllers()
method if they need another way to handle child controllers (e.g. a more dynamic way). However, they are then responsible to ensure a safe access to this list in a multi-threaded environment.- Since:

CombinedReloadingController
public CombinedReloadingController(java.util.Collection<? extends ReloadingController> subCtrls)
Creates a new instance ofCombinedReloadingController
and initializes it with theReloadingController
objects to be managed.- Parameters:
subCtrls
- the collection with subReloadingController
s (must not be null or contain null entries)- Throws:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
- if the passed in collection is null or contains null entries

Method Detail
-
getSubControllers
public java.util.Collection<ReloadingController> getSubControllers()
Returns a (unmodifiable) collection with the sub controllers managed by this combined controller.- Returns:
- a collection with sub controllers
-
getDetector
public ReloadingDetector getDetector()
Returns theReloadingDetector
used by this controller. This implementation returns a special reloading detector which operates on all managed controllers.- Overrides:
getDetector
in classReloadingController
- Returns:
- the
ReloadingDetector
-
resetInitialReloadingState
public void resetInitialReloadingState()
Resets the reloading state of all managed sub controllers unconditionally. This method is intended to be called after the creation of an instance. It may be the case that some of the sub controllers are already in reloading state, so their state is out of sync with this controller's global reloading state. This method ensures that the reloading state of all sub controllers is reset.
