Method Detail

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Gets a fully-qualified classname of the Java class to be exported to a COM client.

Returns:

the fully-qualified classname of the Java class to be exported to a COM client, represented as a String.

the type of this resource, represented as a String.

initialize

public void initialize(String application,
                       String className)

Parameters:

application - a String indicating the name of the application in which the resource is deployed, as it appears in the corresponding <display-name> element. The <display-name> element is associated with an <application> element in the deployment descriptor, in an .ear file. A value of null indicates that the resource is not deployed as part of an application.

className - a String representing the fully-qualified classname of the Java class to be exported to a COM client.

makeParent

protected Resource makeParent()

Gets a Resource object that represents the parent of the current COMResource. If the resource does not have a parent, the value of null must be returned.

The parentage hierarchy for the COMResource (that is, the values returned from successive calls to this method) is:

type=<com>, application=, className=my.package
type=<com>, application=, className=my
type=<com>

Overrides:

makeParent in class ResourceBase

Returns:

the Resource object of the parent resource.
