  • Method Details

    • getInstance

      public static TomcatURLStreamHandlerFactory getInstance()
      Obtain a reference to the singleton instance. It is recommended that callers check the value of isRegistered() before using the returned instance.
      Returns:
      A reference to the singleton instance

    • register

      public static boolean register()
      Register this factory with the JVM. May be called more than once. The implementation ensures that registration only occurs once.
      Returns:
      true if the factory is already registered with the JVM or was successfully registered as a result of this call. false if the factory was disabled prior to this call.

    • disable

      public static boolean disable()
      Prevent this factory from registering with the JVM. May be called more than once.
      Returns:
      true if the factory is already disabled or was successfully disabled as a result of this call. false if the factory was already registered prior to this call.

    • release

      public static void release(ClassLoader classLoader)
      Release references to any user provided factories that have been loaded using the provided class loader. Called during web application stop to prevent memory leaks.
      Parameters:
      classLoader - The class loader to release

    • isRegistered

      public boolean isRegistered()
      Returns whether this factory has been registered as the global URL stream handler factory.
      Returns:
      true if registered

    • addUserFactory

      public void addUserFactory(URLStreamHandlerFactory factory)
      Since the JVM only allows a single call to URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(URLStreamHandlerFactory) and Tomcat needs to register a handler, provide a mechanism to allow applications to register their own handlers.
      Parameters:
      factory - The user provided factory to add to the factories Tomcat has already registered
