<!-- ==================== CLASS DESCRIPTION ==================== -->
<h1 class="epydoc">Class PathResolverSingleton</h1><p class="nomargin-top"><span class="codelink"><a href="CedarBackup2.util-pysrc.html#PathResolverSingleton">source code</a></span></p>
<pre class="base-tree">

<strong class="uidshort">PathResolverSingleton</strong>
</pre>
<hr />
<p>Singleton used for resolving executable paths.</p>
<p>Various functions throughout Cedar Backup (including extensions) need
a way to resolve the path of executables that they use. For instance,
the image functionality needs to find the <code>mkisofs</code>
executable, and the Subversion extension needs to find the
<code>svnlook</code> executable. Cedar Backup's original behavior was to
assume that the simple name (<code>"svnlook"</code> or
whatever) was available on the caller's <code>$PATH</code>, and to fail
otherwise. However, this turns out to be less than ideal, since for
instance the root user might not always have executables like
<code>svnlook</code> in its path.</p>
<p>One solution is to specify a path (either via an absolute path or some
sort of path insertion or path appending mechanism) that would apply to
the <code>executeCommand()</code> function. This is not difficult to
implement, but it seem like kind of a "big hammer" solution.
Besides that, it might also represent a security flaw (for instance, I
prefer not to mess with root's <code>$PATH</code> on the application
level if I don't have to).</p>
<p>The alternative is to set up some sort of configuration for the path
to certain executables, i.e. "find <code>svnlook</code> in
<code>/usr/local/bin/svnlook</code>" or whatever. This
PathResolverSingleton aims to provide a good solution to the mapping
problem. Callers of all sorts (extensions or not) can get an instance of
the singleton. Then, they call the <code>lookup</code> method to try and
resolve the executable they are looking for. Through the
<code>lookup</code> method, the caller can also specify a default to use
if a mapping is not found. This way, with no real effort on the part of
the caller, behavior can neatly degrade to something equivalent to the
current behavior if there is no special mapping or if the singleton was
never initialized in the first place.</p>
<p>Even better, extensions automagically get access to the same resolver
functionality, and they don't even need to understand how the mapping
happens. All extension authors need to do is document what executables
their code requires, and the standard resolver configuration section will
meet their needs.</p>
<p>The class should be initialized once through the constructor somewhere
in the main routine. Then, the main routine should call the <a
href="CedarBackup2.util.PathResolverSingleton-class.html#fill"
class="link">fill</a> method to fill in the resolver's internal
structures. Everyone else who needs to resolve a path will get an
instance of the class using <a
href="CedarBackup2.util.PathResolverSingleton-class.html#getInstance"
class="link">getInstance</a> and will then just call the <a
href="CedarBackup2.util.PathResolverSingleton-class.html#lookup"
class="link">lookup</a> method.</p>
