Class ChainingMetadataProvider

java.lang.Object

org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.BaseMetadataProvider

org.opensaml.saml2.metadata.provider.ChainingMetadataProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

MetadataProvider, ObservableMetadataProvider

public class ChainingMetadataProvider
extends BaseMetadataProvider
implements ObservableMetadataProvider

A metadata provider that uses registered providers, in turn, to answer queries. When searching for entity specific information (entity metadata, roles, etc.) the entity descriptor used is the first non-null descriptor found while iterating over the registered providers in insertion order. This chaining provider implements observation by registering an observer with each contained provider. When the contained provider emits a change this provider will also emit a change to observers registered with it. As such, developers should be careful not to register a the same observer with both container providers and this provider. Doing so will result in an observer being notified twice for each change.

Method Detail

getProviders

public List<MetadataProvider> getProviders()

Gets an immutable the list of currently registered providers.

Returns:

list of currently registered providers

setProviders

public void setProviders(List<MetadataProvider> newProviders)
                  throws MetadataProviderException

Replaces the current set of metadata providers with give collection.

Parameters:

newProviders - the metadata providers to replace the current providers with

Throws:

MetadataProviderException - thrown if there is a problem adding the metadata provider

addMetadataProvider

public void addMetadataProvider(MetadataProvider newProvider)
                         throws MetadataProviderException

Adds a metadata provider to the list of registered providers.

Parameters:

newProvider - the provider to be added

Throws:

MetadataProviderException - thrown if there is a problem adding the metadata provider

doAddMetadataProvider

protected void doAddMetadataProvider(MetadataProvider provider,
                         List<MetadataProvider> providerList)

Adds a metadata provider to the given collection. The new provider is checked to see if it is null, if not the providers MetadataProvider.requireValidMetadata() property is set to the value of this metadata provider's property. If the given metadata provider is an instance of ObservableMetadataProvider then a ContainedProviderObserver is added to it as well.

Parameters:

provider - provider to be added to the collection

providerList - collection to which the provider is added

removeMetadataProvider

public void removeMetadataProvider(MetadataProvider provider)

Removes a metadata provider from the list of registered providers.

Parameters:

provider - provider to be removed

setRequireValidMetadata

public void setRequireValidMetadata(boolean requireValidMetadata)

Sets whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid.

Specified by:

setRequireValidMetadata in interface MetadataProvider

Overrides:

setRequireValidMetadata in class BaseMetadataProvider

Parameters:

requireValidMetadata - whether the metadata returned by queries must be valid

getMetadataFilter

public MetadataFilter getMetadataFilter()

Gets the metadata filter applied to the metadata.

Specified by:

getMetadataFilter in interface MetadataProvider

Overrides:

getMetadataFilter in class BaseMetadataProvider

Returns:

the metadata filter applied to the metadata

setMetadataFilter

public void setMetadataFilter(MetadataFilter newFilter)
                       throws MetadataProviderException

Sets the metadata filter applied to the metadata.

Specified by:

setMetadataFilter in interface MetadataProvider

Overrides:

setMetadataFilter in class BaseMetadataProvider

Parameters:

newFilter - the metadata filter applied to the metadata

Throws:

MetadataProviderException - thrown if the provider can not apply the filter to the metadata

getMetadata

public XMLObject getMetadata()
                      throws MetadataProviderException

Gets the metadata from every registered provider and places each within a newly created EntitiesDescriptor. Gets the valid metadata tree, after the registered filter has been applied.

Specified by:

getMetadata in interface MetadataProvider

Returns:

the entire metadata tree

Throws:

MetadataProviderException - thrown if the provider can not fetch the metadata, must not be thrown simply if there is no metadata to fetch
