Class OddballsDescriptorFactory

java.lang.Object

org.oddjob.oddballs.OddballsDescriptorFactory

All Implemented Interfaces:

ArooaDescriptorFactory

public class OddballsDescriptorFactory
extends Object
implements ArooaDescriptorFactory

Description

Create Oddjob job definition descriptors from any number of directories that follow the Oddball format.

The Oddball directory structure is:

 myball
   classes
     com
       acme
         MyStuff.class
   lib
     someutil.jar
 

You can have either a lib or classes or both but you must have something.

Additionally there can be as many META-INF/arooa.xml resources on that confirm to the ArooaDescriptorBean format for defining element mappings and conversions.

Example

Loading two Oddballs.

<oddjob id="this">
    <job>
        <oddjob file="${this.args[0]}/test/launch/oddballs-launch.xml">
            <descriptorFactory>
                <oddballs>
                    <files>
                        <files>
                            <list>
                                <file file="${this.args[0]}/test/oddballs/apple"/>
                                <file file="${this.args[0]}/test/oddballs/orange"/>
                            </list>
                        </files>
                    </files>
                </oddballs>
            </descriptorFactory>
        </oddjob>
    </job>
</oddjob>

This is equivalent to launching Oddjob with the oddball path option set as in:

 java -jar run-oddjob.jar \
      -op test/oddballs/apple:test/oddballs/orange \
      -f test/launch/oddballs-launch.xml 
 

Or if the test/oddballs directory only contains these two directories, then using the oddball directory option:

 java -jar run-oddjob.jar \
      -ob test/oddballs \
      -f test/launch/oddballs-launch.xml 
 

If the apple and orange directories were copied to Oddjob's Oddballs directory they would be loaded by default.
