I am experimenting with SPI on JDK 9. Entire example works on JDK 9 without "module-info.java". After adding "module-info.java" ServiceLocator is not finding implementing class. I am confused and I cannot find working SPI example in modularized JDK 9 project.
So my example project looks like this:
/spidemo
├── apiModule
│ ├── pom.xml
│ └── src
│ └── main
│ └── java
│ ├── eu
│ │ └── com
│ │ └── example
│ │ └── text
│ │ └── spi
│ │ └── TextAPI.java
│ └── module-info.java
├── applicationB
│ ├── pom.xml
│ └── src
│ └── main
│ ├── java
│ │ └── eu
│ │ └── com
│ │ └── example
│ │ └── spi
│ │ └── b
│ │ └── application
│ │ └── DemoB.java
│ └── module-info.java
├── applicationCommon
│ ├── pom.xml
│ └── src
│ └── main
│ └── java
│ ├── eu
│ │ └── com
│ │ └── example
│ │ └── spi
│ │ └── application
│ │ └── TextAPIProvider.java
│ └── module-info.java
├── implementationB
│ ├── pom.xml
│ └── src
│ └── main
│ ├── java
│ │ └── eu
│ │ └── com
│ │ └── example
│ │ └── implb
│ │ └── text
│ │ └── TextB.java
│ ├── module-info.java
│ └── resources
│ └── META-INF
│ └── services
│ └── eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI
I have introduced interface:
package eu.com.example.text.spi;
public interface TextAPI {
String getHelloWorldText();
}
This interface is implemented by:
package eu.com.example.implb.text;
import eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI;
public class TextB implements TextAPI {
public String getHelloWorldText() {
return "Text from B implementation";
}
}
The implementation is searched by code similar to:
package eu.com.example.spi.application;
import eu.com.example.text.spi.DefaultTextAPI;
import eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI;
import java.util.ServiceLoader;
public class TextAPIProvider {
public static TextAPI getProvider(String providerName) {
ServiceLoader<TextAPI> serviceLoader = ServiceLoader.load(TextAPI.class);
for (TextAPI provider : serviceLoader) {
String className = provider.getClass().getName();
if (providerName.equals(className)) {
return provider;
}
}
throw new RuntimeException(providerName + " provider is not found!");
}
}
And now is the fun part. When I am executing class below without:
- /implementationB/src/main/java/module-info.java
- /applicationB/src/main/java/module-info.java
then implementation class is found and text is printed out.
package eu.com.example.spi.b.application;
import eu.com.example.spi.application.TextAPIProvider;
public class DemoB {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("---> " + TextAPIProvider.getProvider("eu.com.example.implb.text.TextB").getHelloWorldText());
}
}
After introducing this two "module-info.java" files implementation class is not found by ServiceLocator. Content of /applicationB/src/main/java/module-info.java:
module eu.com.example.applicationB {
requires eu.com.example.apiModule;
requires transitive eu.com.example.applicationCommon;
uses eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI;
}
Content of /implementationB/src/main/java/module-info.java:
module eu.com.example.implb.text {
requires eu.com.example.apiModule;
exports eu.com.example.implb.text;
// provides eu.com.example.implb.text.TextB with eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI;
}
When I uncomment:
provides eu.com.example.implb.text.TextB with eu.com.example.text.spi.TextAPI;
line then compilation error occurs:
.../implementationB/src/main/java/module-info.java:[7,74] the service implementation type must be a subtype of the service interface type, or have a public static no-args method named "provider" returning the service implementation
.../implementationB/src/main/java/module-info.java:[7,5] service implementation must be defined in the same module as the provides directive
I have tried to change package names as compilation error sugests, but then I have introduced "split package" issues.
What I should do to use ServiceLocator in fully modularized JDK 9? Is it possible? Have anyone seen working example? Code can be also seen here: https://github.com/RadoslawOsinski/spidemo
