Method Detail

asynchronous

void asynchronous()

Call within the service lifecycle method to trigger an asynchronous lifecycle action. This action will not be considered complete until indicated so by calling either complete() or failed(StartException) method on this interface.

Specified by:

asynchronous in interface LifecycleContext

failed

void failed(StartException reason)
     throws IllegalStateException

Call when start lifecycle action has failed for some reason.

Parameters:

reason - the reason for the failure

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called after complete() was called

complete

void complete()
       throws IllegalStateException

Call when either synchronous or asynchronous lifecycle action is complete.

Specified by:

complete in interface LifecycleContext

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if called after failed(StartException) was called or if called twice in a row

getChildTarget

ServiceTarget getChildTarget()

Get a service target which may be used to add child services. Child services have an implicit dependency on their parent, and are automatically removed when the parent service stops (or if the parent service fails during startup).

Any listeners added directly to this service target will be added to child services when they are installed. Listeners added directly to this service target will be applied recursively to descendants as well, as long as the listener exists on this service target. To avoid this recursive behavior, apply listeners to any sub-target of this this target (see ServiceTarget.subTarget() for more information about sub-targets).

Note that any listeners existing on the starting service are not applied to child services automatically; they must be explicitly added to the child service target.

Returns:

the child target
