Method Detail

setMessageDispatcher

void setMessageDispatcher(MessageDispatcher dispatcher)

Sets the MessageDispatcher that is used to dispatch audit events to AuditListeners during processing.

Parameters:

dispatcher - the dispatcher

init

void init()

Initialise the instance. This is the time to verify that everything required to perform it job.

destroy

void destroy()

Cleans up the object.

beginProcessing

void beginProcessing(java.lang.String charset)

Called when about to be called to process a set of files.

Parameters:

charset - the character set used to read the files.

process

java.util.SortedSet<Violation> process(java.io.File file,
                                       FileText fileText)
                                throws CheckstyleException

Request to process a file. The implementation should use the supplied contents and not read the contents again. This reduces the amount of file I/O.

The file set to process might contain files that are not interesting to the FileSetCheck. Such files should be ignored, no audit event should be fired for them. For example a FileSetCheck that checks java files should ignore HTML or properties files.

The method should return the set of violations to be logged.

Parameters:

file - the file to be processed

fileText - the contents of the file.

Returns:

the sorted set of violations to be logged.

Throws:

CheckstyleException - if error condition within Checkstyle occurs

finishProcessing

void finishProcessing()

Called when all the files have been processed. This is the time to perform any checks that need to be done across a set of files. In this method, the implementation is responsible for the logging of violations.
