Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default ModuleSpec	findModule(java.lang.String name, ModuleLoader delegateLoader)	Find a module specification for the given name.
default ModuleSpec	findModule(ModuleIdentifier moduleIdentifier, ModuleLoader delegateLoader)	Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version. Implement findModule(String, ModuleLoader) instead.

Method Detail

findModule

default ModuleSpec findModule(java.lang.String name,
                              ModuleLoader delegateLoader)
                       throws ModuleLoadException

Find a module specification for the given name. The default implementation delegates to the legacy findModule(ModuleIdentifier, ModuleLoader) method for now, however this behavior will be discontinued in the future.

Parameters:

name - the module name

delegateLoader - the module loader from which dependencies should be resolved

Returns:

the module specification, or null if no specification is found for this identifier

Throws:

ModuleLoadException

findModule

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
default ModuleSpec findModule(ModuleIdentifier moduleIdentifier,
                              ModuleLoader delegateLoader)
                       throws ModuleLoadException

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Implement findModule(String, ModuleLoader) instead.

Find a module specification for the given identifier. The default implementation returns null. This method will never be called by the module system unless findModule(String, ModuleLoader) is left unimplemented.

Parameters:

moduleIdentifier - the module identifier

delegateLoader - the module loader from which dependencies should be resolved

Returns:

the module specification, or null if no specification is found for this identifier

Throws:

ModuleLoadException
