A layer of modules in the Java virtual machine.

 A layer is created from a graph of modules in a Configuration and a function that maps each module to a ClassLoader. Creating a layer informs the Java virtual machine about the classes that may be loaded from the modules so that the Java virtual machine knows which module that each class is a member of. 


 Creating a layer creates a Module object for each ResolvedModule in the configuration. For each resolved module that is read, the Module reads the corresponding run-time Module, which may be in the same layer or a parent layer. 


 The defineModulesWithOneLoader and defineModulesWithManyLoaders methods provide convenient ways to create a module layer where all modules are mapped to a single class loader or where each module is mapped to its own class loader. The defineModules method is for more advanced cases where modules are mapped to custom class loaders by means of a function specified to the method. Each of these methods has an instance and static variant. The instance methods create a layer with the receiver as the parent layer. The static methods are for more advanced cases where there can be more than one parent layer or where a Controller is needed to control modules in the layer 


 A Java virtual machine has at least one non-empty layer, the boot layer, that is created when the Java virtual machine is started. The boot layer contains module java.base and is the only layer in the Java virtual machine with a module named "java.base". The modules in the boot layer are mapped to the bootstrap class loader and other class loaders that are 
built-in into the Java virtual machine. The boot layer will often be the parent when creating additional layers. 


 Each Module in a layer is created so that it exports and opens the packages described by its ModuleDescriptor. Qualified exports (where a package is exported to a set of target modules rather than all modules) are reified when creating the layer as follows: 


    
    
  •  If module X exports a package to Y, and if the runtime Module X reads Module Y, then the package is exported to Module Y (which may be in the same layer as X or a parent layer). 
    • 
    
  •  If module X exports a package to Y, and if the runtime Module X does not read Y then target Y is located as if by invoking 
    findModule to find the module in the layer or its parent layers. If Y is found then the package is exported to the instance of Y that was found. If Y is not found then the qualified export is ignored. 
    • 



 Qualified opens are handled in same way as qualified exports. 


 As when creating a Configuration, automatic modules receive special treatment when creating a layer. An automatic module is created in the Java virtual machine as a Module that reads every unnamed 
Module in the Java virtual machine. 


 Unless otherwise specified, passing a null argument to a method in this class causes a NullPointerException to be thrown. 


 Example usage: 


 This example creates a configuration by resolving a module named "myapp" with the configuration for the boot layer as the parent. It then creates a new layer with the modules in this configuration. All modules are defined to the same class loader. 



    ModuleFinder finder = ModuleFinder.of(dir1, dir2, dir3);
    ModuleLayer parent = ModuleLayer.boot();
    Configuration cf = parent.configuration().resolve(finder, ModuleFinder.of(), Set.of("myapp"));
    ClassLoader scl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
    ModuleLayer layer = parent.defineModulesWithOneLoader(cf, scl);
    Class<?> c = layer.findLoader("myapp").loadClass("app.Main");

Creates a new module layer by defining the modules in the given 
Configuration to the Java virtual machine. This method creates one class loader and defines all modules to that class loader. 
 The class loader created by this method implements direct
delegation when loading classes from modules. If the loadClass method is invoked to load a class then it uses the package name of the class to map it to a module. This may be a module in this layer and hence defined to the same class loader. It may be a package in a module in a parent layer that is exported to one or more of the modules in this layer. The class loader delegates to the class loader of the module, throwing 
ClassNotFoundException if not found by that class loader. When loadClass is invoked to load classes that do not map to a module then it delegates to the parent class loader. 


 The class loader created by this method locates resources (getResource, getResources, and other resource methods) in all modules in the layer before searching the parent class loader. 


 Attempting to create a layer with all modules defined to the same
class loader can fail for the following reasons:

    
    
  •  Overlapping packages: Two or more modules in the
    configuration have the same package. 
    • 
    
  •  Split delegation: The resulting class loader would
    need to delegate to more than one class loader in order to load
    classes in a specific package. 
    • 



 In addition, a layer cannot be created if the configuration contains a module named "java.base", or a module contains a package named "java" or a package with a name starting with "java.". 


 If there is a security manager then the class loader created by
this method will load classes and resources with privileges that are
restricted by the calling context of this method. 


Params:
  • cf – 
        The configuration for the layer
  • parentLayers – 
        The list of parent layers in search order
  • parentLoader –  The parent class loader for the class loader created by this method; may be null for the bootstrap class loader
Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – 
        If the parent(s) of the given configuration do not match the
        configuration of the parent layers, including order
  • LayerInstantiationException – 
        If all modules cannot be defined to the same class loader for any
        of the reasons listed above

Creates a new module layer by defining the modules in the given 
Configuration to the Java virtual machine. The given function maps each module in the configuration, by name, to a class loader. Creating the layer informs the Java virtual machine about the classes that may be loaded so that the Java virtual machine knows which module that each class is a member of. 
 The class loader delegation implemented by the class loaders must respect module readability. The class loaders should be parallel-capable so as to avoid deadlocks during class loading. In addition, the entity creating a new layer with this method should arrange that the class loaders be ready to load from these modules before there are any attempts to load classes or resources. 


 Creating a layer can fail for the following reasons: 


    
    
  •  Two or more modules with the same package are mapped to the
    same class loader. 
    • 
    
  •  A module is mapped to a class loader that already has a
    module of the same name defined to it. 
    • 
    
  •  A module is mapped to a class loader that has already
    defined types in any of the packages in the module. 
    • 



 In addition, a layer cannot be created if the configuration contains a module named "java.base", a configuration contains a module with a package named "java" or a package name starting with "java.", or the function to map a module name to a class loader returns null or the 
platform class loader. 


 If the function to map a module name to class loader throws an error
or runtime exception then it is propagated to the caller of this method.
