Class ExtensionFilter

java.lang.Object
  jenkins.ExtensionFilter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ExtensionPoint

public abstract class ExtensionFilter
extends Object
implements ExtensionPoint

Filters out ExtensionComponents discovered by ExtensionFinders, as if they were never discovered.

This is useful for those who are deploying restricted/simplified version of Jenkins by reducing the functionality.

Because of the way ExtensionFinder works, even when an extension component is rejected by a filter, its instance still gets created first.

Method Detail

allows

public abstract <T> boolean allows(Class<T> type,
                                   ExtensionComponent<T> component)

Checks if a newly discovered extension is allowed to participate into Jenkins.

To filter Descriptors based on the Describable subtypes, do as follows:

 return !component.isDescriptorOf(Builder.class);
 

Parameters:

type - The type of the extension that we are discovering. This is not the actual instance type, but the contract type, such as Descriptor, AdministrativeMonitor, etc.

Returns:

true to let the component into Jenkins. false to drop it and pretend as if it didn't exist. When any one of ExtensionFilters veto a component, it gets dropped.
