Interface IVerifier

All Known Implementing Classes:
Verifier

public interface IVerifier

Verifier. This interface abstracts the archive verification step performed by specific feature implementations. The actual details of the verification are the responsibility of the concrete implementation.

Clients may implement this interface.

2.0

IVerificationResult, IFeatureContentProvider.getVerifier()

Method Summary
 IVerifier getParent()
          Returns the parent verifier
 void setParent(IVerifier parentVerifier)
          Sets the parent verifier.
 IVerificationResult verify(IFeature feature, ContentReference reference, boolean isFeatureVerification, InstallMonitor monitor)
          Perform verification of the specified archive.
 

Method Detail

verify

public IVerificationResult verify(IFeature feature,
                                  ContentReference reference,
                                  boolean isFeatureVerification,
                                  InstallMonitor monitor)
                           throws CoreException
Perform verification of the specified archive.

Parameters:
feature - feature containing this archive
reference - actual archive reference
isFeatureVerification - true indicates the specified reference should be considered as part of the feature description information (ie. verifying the overall feature), false indicates the specified reference is a plug-in or a non-plug-in archive file (ie. verifying a component of the feature)
monitor - progress monitor, can be null
Returns:
verification result
Throws:
CoreException
Since:
2.0

setParent

public void setParent(IVerifier parentVerifier)
Sets the parent verifier. The parent verifier can only be set once by the parent feature. It may used for different verification strategies. (for instance, you may decide that both the parent and current verifier must sucessfully verify the content reference, or that only one of them must verify)

Parameters:
parentVerifier - the parent verifier.

getParent

public IVerifier getParent()
Returns the parent verifier

Returns:
the parent verifier
