Class CodeModuleManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by net.rim.device.api.system.CodeModuleManager

public final class CodeModuleManager
extends Object

Manages the Java code modules installed on the device.

The code module manager is the system service that manages the code modules on the device: it installs them, deletes them, and you can use it to retrieve information about installed modules.

Module types. The code module manager deals with modules on an individual basis, but when you're actually building modules, it's possible to build them in two types: singleton modules, and sibling modules.

Singleton modules are stand-alone: the produced cod file contains a single module.

Sibling modules provide a way of packaging together a series of modules into a single cod file. This provides a way for you to build a project that's larger than can fit into a singleton module. Sibling modules packaged together into a "sibling cod" are arranged with an "eldest module" (the first appearing in the cod) and a series of subsequent modules. If you want to add sibling modules to the system using the code module manager, you must add each sibling module separately: you may find it expedient to add the eldest module first, but it's not strictly necessary. You should add all the modules as part of a single transaction, however (see following).

Module handles can be transitory. The system can add and remove modules in the background at any time. This means that even though you may have once had a valid module handle for a module (even if you added the module yourself), it might become unexpectedly invalid. Most calls where you pass in a module handle can throw an IllegalArgumentException, and so you must be prepared to correctly handle the exception. Note that this is not the case for some of the methods that return status codes; these methods report invalid handles in their return arrays of status codes (with CodeModuleManager.CMM_HANDLE_INVALID).

Adding modules

To add modules, you should use the simple pattern of beginning a transaction, creating modules for each module in the transaction you want to write, and then ending the transaction:

 // begin with byte moduleBuffer[] containing your module's data
 int myModuleHandle;
 int myTransHandle = CodeModuleManager.beginTransaction();
 if( myTransHandle != 0 ) {
     int mLen = moduleBuffer.length();

     myModuleHandle = CodeModuleManager.createNewModule(mLen, moduleBuffer, mLen);

     if( myModuleHandle == 0 ) {
         // couldn't get a module handle! bail!
     } else {
         switch( CodeModuleManager.saveNewModule(myModuleHandle, true, myTransHandle) ) {
               case CMM_OK:
                    // fall through
               case CMM_OK_MODULE_OVERWRITTEN:
                  switch( endTransaction(myTransHandle) ) {
                      case CMM_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE:
                          // addition finished successfully
                          break;
                      case CMM_TRANSACTION_RESET_REQUIRED:
                          // device needs to reset to finish the transaction
                          // ... do the reset work here ...
                          break;
                      default:
                          // transaction failed for some reason; since transactions are all
                          // or nothing, it will cancel itself and clean up the module handle
                          break;
                  } // switch block for endTransaction()
                  break;
               default:
                  // couldn't save the module for some reason, and so the CMM hasn't built an
                  // an association between the transaction handle and the module handle:
                  // we must clean up the module handle ourselves.
                  CodeModuleManager.deleteNewModule(myModuleHandle);
                  break;
         } // switch block for saveNewModule()
     }
 }
 

By using transactions, the VM knows when you're done loading modules and can attempt to link and load them if no reset is required (your modules are not replacing modules that are in use or that have persisted data).

Retrieving information about loaded modules

You can use the code module manager to retrieve information about modules already loaded.

Retrieve a module handle. Many of the manager's exposed methods require you to provide a module handle. If you don't already have one, but you know the module's name, you can use CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle(String) to retrieve the appropriate handle (if you got the module's name wrong, and there isn't one such module saved in the system, you'll get back a value of 0):

 int handle = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("someModuleName");
 

You can also get back a matching module handle by providing the module's hash value (retrieved by invoking getModuleHash(handle)) or a class that's defined within the module (by providing the class's Class object to CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandleForClass(Class), or an instance of the class to CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandleForObject(Object)).

If you want a list of all the modules the code module manager currently has registered, then you can invoke CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandles(boolean).

Retrieve information about an installed module. Once you have the module's handle, you can get back a variety of information about the module:

 try {
     // retrieve specific information about a module
     String name = CodeModuleManager.getModuleName( handle );
     String vendor = CodeModuleManager.getModuleVendor( handle );
     String description = CodeModuleManager.getModuleDescription( handle );
     int version = CodeModuleManager.getModuleVersion( handle );
     int size = CodeModuleManager.getModuleCodeSize( handle );
     int timestamp = CodeModuleManager.getModuleTimestamp( handle );
 } catch( IllegalArgumentException iae ) {
     // deal with an invalid module handle
 }
 

Deleting modules

There are several things consider when you need to delete a module from the device.

Delete a new module. If you have yet to save the module with saveNewModule(handle), then the module is still "new", and so you must delete it with deleteNewModule(handle).

Delete a single, saved module. After the module gets saved, you must use deleteModuleEx(handle,force) or deleteModuleEx(handle,force,markOnly).

 int mh = CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandle("ModuleName");
 if( mh!=0 ) {
     try {
         int retCode = CodeModuleManager.deleteModuleEx(mh, force, markOnly);
     } catch( IllegalArgumentExcpetion iae ) {
         // deal with attempt to delete a now invalid handle
     }
 }
 

Delete a list of saved modules. If you want to delete more than one module, then you should batch the deletes together. Each time you delete a saved module, the VM must perform a garbage collection; by batching the delete operations together, the VM can do the GC once, rather than between each deletion. Note that the method that batches module deletes together doesn't throw an exception if it encounters an invalid handle; rather it passes this information back through its return codes:

 int[] retCodes = CodeModuleManager.deleteModules( arrayOfValidModHandles[], force );

                                 boolean force)
Deletes a module identified by handle.

There are three factors that prevent immediate deletion of a module: if the module is required, if the module is in use (because of active execution thread, or live class refs for which the module provides the definition), or if the module has persisted data (that is, the module defines classes instantiated by persisted data).

Module is required. IT Policy application control may require the presence of the module, and in that case, this method will do nothing and will return CodeModuleManager.CMM_MODULE_REQUIRED.

Module is in use or has persisted data. The device cannot delete the module without you forcing it to (by providing true to the 'force' parameter). If you want to force deletion (true), then this method will seek to mark the module for deletion after the next reset; if you don't want to force deletion (false), then this method will do nothing and return CodeModuleManager.CMM_MODULE_IN_USE_BY_PERSISTENT_STORE or USE, as appropriate.

Parameters:
moduleHandle - Handle of module to delete.
force - If true, delete the module and any data it owns (unless IT Policy Application control requires the module); if false, delete the module only if it has no associated persistent data and is not in use.
Returns:
One of the CMM_ return codes (if the module gets deleted, you should expect CodeModuleManager.CMM_OK; if the module gets marked for deletion after a reset, you should expect #CMM_MODULE_MARKED_FOR_DELETION).
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If you provide an invalid module handle.

deleteModuleEx

public static int deleteModuleEx(int moduleHandle,
                                 boolean force,
                                 boolean markOnly)
Deletes (or marks for deletion) a module identified by handle.

There are times when you may not want to immediately delete a module, but may want to schedule it for deletion after the next reset. You can use this method to do that, with the 'markOnly' paramter:

If you provide false for 'markOnly', then this method behaves exactly as does CodeModuleManager.deleteModuleEx(int,boolean). The method will only delete modules in use, or with associated persisted data, if you provide true for the 'force' parameter.

If you provide true for 'markOnly', then this method ignores the actual value of the 'force' parameter, and behaves as if it were true.

Parameters:
moduleHandle - Handle of module to delete.
force - If true, delete the module and any data it owns ( unless IT Policy Application control requires the module ); if false, delete the module only if it has no associated data. This parameter's value is only meaningful if 'markOnly' is false.
markOnly - If true, this method marks the module for deletion at the next reset, regardless of whether the module is in use or not; if false, then this method's behaviour is governed by the 'force' parameter.
Returns:
One of the CMM_ return codes (if the module gets deleted, you should expect CodeModuleManager.CMM_OK; if the module gets marked for deletion after a reset, you should expect #CMM_MODULE_MARKED_FOR_DELETION).
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If you provide an invalid module handle.

deleteModules

public static int[] deleteModules(int[] moduleHandles,
                                  boolean force)
Deletes a series of modules identified by handle.

This method accepts an array of module handles and essentially deals with each module handle in the list, h, as if you'd invoked deleteModuleEx(h,force).

However, there are several points to note.

Return codes. This method returns an array containing return codes, writing the return code for each module deletion attempt into the corresponding index in the return code array.

Efficiency. This method is more efficient at deleting a series of modules than a series of invocations of deleteModuleEx(), because it restricts the VM's garbage collection to a single GC before attempting to delete the first module in the list. If you merely iterate over deleteModuleEx(), then the VM performs a GC before each deletion attempt.

Dealing with failure. The failure of an attempt to delete one module in the list doesn't stop this method from attempting to delete each subsequent module in the list. This method attempts to delete all the modules in the list. Note that, unlike deleteModuleEx, this method does not throw an illegal argument exception if it finds an invalid module in your list of handles. Rather, it will write CodeModuleManager.CMM_HANDLE_INVALID into the corresponding position in the return code array.

Required modules. If IT Policy application control requires the presence of any module in the list, this method doesn't delete that module (even if you try to force the deletion), and writes CodeModuleManager.CMM_MODULE_REQUIRED into the corresponding position in the return code array.

Forcing deletion. This method's 'force' parameter applies to every module handle in the array. If you provide false for the parameter, then any module in the list that's in use or has associated persistent data will not be deleted. If you provide true for the parameter, then any module in the list that is in use or has persistent data will get marked for deletion after the next reset.

Modules that are not in use and do not have associated persistent data will get immediately deleted regardless of your 'force' parameter's value.

Parameters:
moduleHandles - Handles of modules to delete.
force - If true, delete the module and any data it owns (unless IT Policy Application control requires the module); if false, delete the module only if it is not in use and has no associated persistent data.
Returns:
An array containing a CMM_ return code corresponding to the attemp to delete each module.

deleteModules

public static int[] deleteModules(int[] moduleHandles,
                                  boolean force,
                                  boolean markOnly)
Deletes (or marks for deletion) a series of modules identified by handle.

This method behaves in comparison to CodeModuleManager.deleteModules(int[],boolean) just as CodeModuleManager.deleteModuleEx(int,boolean,boolean) behaves in comparison to CodeModuleManager.deleteModuleEx(int,boolean). That is, it provides you with the opportunity to postpone deletion for all modules in your list until after a device reset (by providing true for the 'markOnly' parameter).

Parameters:
moduleHandles - Handles of modules to delete.
force - If true, delete the module and any data it owns ( unless IT Policy Application control requires the module ); if false, delete the module only if it is not in use and has no associated persistent data. This parameter's value is only meaningful if 'markOnly' is false.
markOnly - If true, this method marks each module for deletion after the next reset, regardless of whether the module is in use or not; if false, then this method's behaviour is governed by the 'force' parameter.
Returns:
An array containing a CMM_ return code for each handle (if a module gets deleted, you should expect CodeModuleManager.CMM_OK; if a module gets marked for deletion after a reset, you should expect #CMM_MODULE_MARKED_FOR_DELETION).

                                      int index)
Retreives a module's version string.

Each module contains a list of version strings associated with the list of module names you can retrieve with CodeModuleManager.getModuleName(int,int): the version string for 'this' module is the first in the list (position 0).

A module's version information string gets set by the build process and build time. If the module's version string was not set at byuild time, or was set to an empty string, then this method uses the string "0.0".

Parameters:
moduleHandle - Handle for the module.
index - Position (first is '0') of the version string in the module's list of version strings.
Returns:
Version information string for the provided position in the version string list, or "0.0" if the version info string was unset or set to an empty string at the associated module's build time. This method can also return null if you try to retrieve a version string for a module name not into the module's list (i.e. your index value is out of range).

createNewModule

public static int createNewModule(int totalLength)
Allocates space for a new module.

If this method returns a valid handle, you should then make calls to CodeModuleManager.writeNewModule(int,int,byte[],int,int) to write the data into the allocated module record.

Parameters:
totalLength - Total number of bytes the device should set aside for module; this value must be the total length of the module data.
Returns:
Handle for the new module, or 0 if the manager couldn't allocate space for the new module.

                                  int length)
Allocates space for a new module and populates it with data.

Typically, to create a new module, you use this method passing in the module's entire data, with the 'length' parameter set to the same value as 'totalLength'. However, there may be cases where it's not expedient to write all of the module's data at once. In this case, you can provide the first segment of the module's data with this method, and then make calls to CodeModuleManager.writeNewModule(int,int,byte[],int,int) to write the rest of the module's data into the allocated module record.

Parameters:
totalLength - Total number of bytes the device should set aside for the module.
data - Module's data.
length - Number of bytes from the module's data to write, starting with data[0].
Returns:
Handle for the new module, or 0 if the manager couldn't allocated space for the new module.

                                     int length)
Writes data into a newly created module.

Use this method to write more data into a module newly allocated with CodeModuleManager.createNewModule(int) or CodeModuleManager.createNewModule(int,byte[],int).

Note that the 'newModuleOffset' parameter is the offset past the first byte of the written module data where you want to start writing new bytes (thus, a newModuleOffset of 0 means the method should write to the first byte of the module); the 'offset' parameter is the offset past the first byte of the 'data' array that you pass in, where this method should start reading bytes to write into the module.

It's up to you to keep track of the offset position in the already written module data that represents the "cursor" point (i.e.the last byte you wrote).

Parameters:
newModuleHandle - Handle for the new module.
newModuleOffset - Byte offset into the module at which to write the data.
data - Byte array of data to write; must not be null.
offset - Byte offset into the data array where this method should start reading data to write into the module.
length - Number of bytes to write.
Returns:
True if this method was able to write all the bytes you indicated; otherwise, false.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If you provide an invalid module handle.
NullPointerException - If you provide a null 'data' parameter.
OutOfMemoryError - If the device was unable to write a portion of your data.

                                boolean forceOverwrite)
Saves a newly created module in the database, potentially forcing.

This is a convenience method that wraps saveNewModule(moduleHandle,forceOverwrite,0).

You can use this version of the method to force-save a module in the case that it's replacing an existing module with incompatible persisted data.

Parameters:
newModuleHandle - Handle returned by CodeModuleManager.createNewModule(int).
forceOverwrite - Force this method to overwrite an older version of your new module.
Returns:
One of the CMM_ return codes.

deleteNewModule

public static int deleteNewModule(int newModuleHandle)
Deletes a new, unsaved module.

Note: Use this method only for newly created modules (ones that you have not yet saved); if you pass a module that's saved into the persisted module store, this method will report the handle as invalid.

Parameters:
newModuleHandle - Handle for the module.
Returns:
CodeModuleManager.CMM_OK if the module gets successfully deleted, or CodeModuleManager.CMM_HANDLE_INVALID if you provide an invalid module handle,

isResetRequired

public static boolean isResetRequired()
Determines if the device must reset in order to complete the addition or deletion of a module.

Note: note that the value returned from this method is only reliable if the process attempting the addition/deletion of the module(s) is the one invoking this method.

Returns:
True if the device must reset to finish the module change; otherwise, false.

getApplicationDescriptors

public static ApplicationDescriptor[] getApplicationDescriptors(int moduleHandle)
Retrieves all the application descriptors from a module.

Parameters:
moduleHandle - Handle for the module.
Returns:
Array of descriptors for the module, or null, if the module contains no application descriptors.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If you provide an invalid module handle.

verifySignature

public static boolean verifySignature(int moduleHandle,
                                      int signerId,
                                      byte[] publicKey)
Verifies module signature against provided public key.

Use this method to verify that a signer signed a module, given the signer's public key. Since more than one signature can envelope a module, you identify the signature to verify against by providing a signer ID. Returns true if the specified signature on the cod file verifies with the given public key.

Parameters:
moduleHandle - Handle for the module.
signerId - Signer ID of the signature to verify.
publicKey - Public key to verify the signature with; if the signer ID is one of the known signer IDs specified in CodeSigningKey, then you can provide null for this parameter, because the system already has access to the appropriate public key data.
Returns:
True if the identified signature on the module verifies with the provided (or identified by signature ID) public key.
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - If you provide an invalid module handle.
