public class Module

extends Object

Class to test and track modules.

Modules are added features to the RADIUS server like EAPTLS authentication and other functionality.

Modules are constructed so that they're implementations need not be present but the server will still function. Access by the server components is achieved using consistent module naming of classes and packages.

e.g. EAPTLS is the name of the module.
The abstract class is EAPTLS.class in the .module package.
The package for the EAPTLS is module.eaptls. The implementation
is module.eaptls.EAPTLSImpl.class.
The field to register is eaptls.

Constructor Detail

Module

public Module()

Default constructor. Used when the G object is not available nor required.

Module

public Module(Gb g)

Constructor.

Parameters:

g - general information object.

Method Detail

getInstance

public Object getInstance(String moduleName,
                          Object obj)
                             throws RADIUSServerException

Get an implementation of the module.

Parameters:

moduleName - Name of module to instantiate. The module name may either be relative to the module package or a fully qualified class path. In some cases the class loader doesn't provide the necessary package information so even where the class is relative to the module packet it will be necessary to use a full path to the class.

obj - Object argument for the constructor. May be null.

Returns:

the object or null if it couldn't be found.

Throws:

RADIUSServerException - if there is a problem instantiating the class. No exception is thrown if the class does not exist.

test

public boolean test(String moduleName)

Tests to see that a class with the module name exists.

Parameters:

moduleName - Name of module to instantiate. The module name may either be relative to the module package or a fully qualified class path. In some cases the class loader doesn't provide the necessary package information so even where the class is relative to the module packet it will be necessary to use a full path to the class.
