Hello everyone,
I have `Module module`. If this module is automatic I need to get the list of
all its services/providers, so,
as I understand the only way to do it is to read its META-INF/services folder.
I tried:
if (module.getDescriptor().isAutomatic()) {
ClassLoader classLoader = module.getClassLoader();
Enumeration<URL> resources = classLoader.getResources("META-INF/services/");
while (resources.hasMoreElements()) {
URL resource = resources.nextElement();
...
}
}
but it doesn't work. All `resource`s have same path ending in
`....META-INF/service`.
I tried:
ModuleReference reference = ... ;
var entries = reference.open().list().collect(Collectors.toList());
It worked, but I need only one folder, but not all with all classes etc. Could
anyone what is the optimal way to do it?
In your second attempt then you course add a filter it to just the resources
with names that start with META-INF/services.
It is clear that it is possible to use filter. The question was how to do it
not iterating ALL entries in jar. That's why I was asking about the optimal way.
Do I understand correctly, that there is no way to do it. If so, maybe it is
necessary to add method ModuleReference#open(String path)?
In any case, I assume the method you are looking for is
ModuleDescriptor::provides. It returns the set of Provides objects for service
providers in the module (it doesn't matter than the module is an automatic
module).
Thank you. I thought that module descriptor returns providers only for explicit
modules on the base of `module-info`.
