JavaLoader

v2.1.1+8 Modules

Welcome to the cbJavaloader Project

This module will allow your ColdBox applications to class load different Java classes and libraries at runtime via the JavaLoader project. It also registers a WireBox DSL so you can easily inject Java classes into your objects using WireBox.

License

System Requirements

  • Lucee 5+
  • ColdFusion 2016+

Instructions

Just drop into your modules folder or use the box-cli to install

box install cbjavaloader

The module has a default folder called lib where any jars you drop there will be class loaded automatically. However, we recommend using the loadpaths setting for selecting an array of locations to class load, so when the module updates you won't lose those files.

Models

The module registers the following mapping in WireBox: loader@cbjavaloader. Which is the class you will use to class load, append paths and much more. Check out the included API Docs for much more information. The main methods of importance of the java loader are:

  • create( class ) - Create a loaded Java class
  • appendPath( dirPath, filter) - Appends a directory path of .jar's,.classes to the current loaded class loader.
  • getLoadedURLs() - Get all the loaded URLs

WireBox DSL

The module also registers a new WireBox DSL called javaloader. You can then use this custom DSL for injecting direct java class loaded classes very easily:

property name="name"  inject="javaloader:{class-path}";
property name="hello" inject="javaloader:HelloWorld";
property name="buffer" inject="javaloader:org.class.path.StringBuffer";

Settings

Here are the module settings you can place in your ColdBox.cfc under an moduleSettings.cbJavaLoader structure:


moduleSettings = {
	cbJavaLoader = {
		// A single path, and array of paths or a single Jar
		loadPaths = [],
		// Load ColdFusion classes with loader
		loadColdFusionClassPath = false,
		// Attach a custom class loader as a parent
		parentClassLoader = "",
		// Directories that contain Java source code that are to be dynamically compiled
		sourceDirectories = [],
		// the directory to build the .jar file for dynamic compilation in, defaults to ./tmp
		compileDirectory = "models/javaloader/tmp",
		// Whether or not the source is trusted, i.e. it is going to change? Defaults to false, so changes will be recompiled and loaded
		trustedSource = false
	}
};

Below is a simple example:

/**
* My Event Handler Hint
*/
component{
	// Inject JavaLoader
	property name="javaloader" inject="loader@cbjavaloader";

	// Index
	any function index( event,rc, prc ){
		// creat a java class
		prc.hello = javaloader.create( "HelloWorld" ).init().hello();
	}

	// Run on first init
	any function onAppInit( event, rc, prc ){
		// on application start, load up more jars
		javaloader.appendPaths( getSetting( "ApplicationPath" ) & "jars" );
	}

}
