## Class ResourceTracker

- java.lang.Object
- - net.sourceforge.jnlp.cache.ResourceTracker

-     public class ResourceTracker
      extends java.lang.Object

  This class tracks the downloading of various resources of a JNLP file to local files in the cache. It can be used to download icons, jnlp and extension files, jars, and jardiff files using the version based protocol or any file using the basic download protocol (jardiff and version not implemented yet).

  The resource tracker can be configured to prefetch resources, which are downloaded in the order added to the media tracker.

  Multiple threads are used to download and cache resources that are actively being waited for (blocking a caller) or those that have been started downloading by calling the startDownload method. Resources that are prefetched are downloaded one at a time and only if no other trackers have requested downloads. This allows the tracker to start downloading many items without using many system resources, but still quickly download items as needed.

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### ResourceTracker

          public ResourceTracker()

      Creates a resource tracker that does not prefetch resources.

    - #### ResourceTracker

          public ResourceTracker(boolean prefetch)

      Creates a resource tracker.
      Parameters:
        `prefetch` - whether to download resources before requested.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### addResource

          public void addResource(java.net.URL location,
                                  Version version,
                                  DownloadOptions options,
                                  UpdatePolicy updatePolicy)

      Add a resource identified by the specified location and version. The tracker only downloads one version of a given resource per instance (ie cannot download both versions 1 and 2 of a resource in the same tracker).
      Parameters:
        `location` - the location of the resource
        `version` - the resource version
        `options` - options to control download
        `updatePolicy` - whether to check for updates if already in cache

    - #### removeResource

          public void removeResource(java.net.URL location)

      Removes a resource from the tracker. This method is useful to allow memory to be reclaimed, but calling this method is not required as resources are reclaimed when the tracker is collected.
      Parameters:
        `location` - location of resource to be removed
      Throws:
        `IllegalResourceDescriptorException` - if the resource is not being tracked

    - #### addDownloadListener

          public void addDownloadListener(DownloadListener listener)

      Adds the listener to the list of objects interested in receivind DownloadEvents.
      Parameters:
        `listener` - the listener to add.

    - #### removeDownloadListener

          public void removeDownloadListener(DownloadListener listener)

      Removes a download listener.
      Parameters:
        `listener` - the listener to remove.

    - #### fireDownloadEvent

          protected void fireDownloadEvent(Resource resource)

      Fires the download event corresponding to the resource's state. This method is typicall called by the Resource itself on each tracker that is monitoring the resource. Do not call this method with any locks because the listeners may call back to this ResourceTracker.
      Parameters:
        `resource` - resource on which event is fired

    - #### getCacheURL

          public java.net.URL getCacheURL(java.net.URL location)

      Returns a URL pointing to the cached location of the resource, or the resource itself if it is a non-cacheable resource.

      If the resource has not downloaded yet, the method will block until it has been transferred to the cache.

      Parameters:
        `location` - the resource location
      Returns:
        the resource, or null if it could not be downloaded
      Throws:
        `IllegalResourceDescriptorException` - if the resource is not being tracked
      See Also:
        `CacheUtil.isCacheable(java.net.URL, net.sourceforge.jnlp.Version)`

    - #### getCacheFile

          public java.io.File getCacheFile(java.net.URL location)

      Returns a file containing the downloaded resource. If the resource is non-cacheable then null is returned unless the resource is a local file (the original file is returned).

      If the resource has not downloaded yet, the method will block until it has been transferred to the cache.

      Parameters:
        `location` - the resource location
      Returns:
        a local file containing the resource, or null
      Throws:
        `IllegalResourceDescriptorException` - if the resource is not being tracked
      See Also:
        `CacheUtil.isCacheable(java.net.URL, net.sourceforge.jnlp.Version)`

    - #### waitForResources

                                          long timeout)
