Constructor Summary

AbstractService()

Method Summary

void	dispose() Performs any needed cleanup of the object's services, in preparation for the object being retired (e.g., to make garbage collection possible).
Context	getContext() Gets the application context to which the object belongs, or null if Contextual.setContext(Context) has not yet been called on this object.
void	initialize() Performs any needed initialization when the service is first loaded.
void	registerEventHandlers() Registers the service's event handler methods.
void	setContext(Context context) Sets the application context to which the object belongs.
String	toString()

Constructor Detail

AbstractService

public AbstractService()

Method Detail

initialize

public void initialize()

Description copied from interface: Service

Performs any needed initialization when the service is first loaded.

NB: This method is not intended to be called directly. It is called by the service framework itself (specifically by the ServiceHelper) when initializing the service. It should not be called a second time.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Service

registerEventHandlers

public void registerEventHandlers()

Description copied from interface: Service

Registers the service's event handler methods.

NB: This method is not intended to be called directly. It is called by the service framework itself (specifically by the ServiceHelper) when initializing the service. It should not be called a second time.

Specified by:

registerEventHandlers in interface Service

getContext

public Context getContext()

Description copied from interface: Contextual

Gets the application context to which the object belongs, or null if Contextual.setContext(Context) has not yet been called on this object.

Specified by:

getContext in interface Contextual

Overrides:

getContext in class AbstractContextual

See Also:

Contextual.context()

setContext

public void setContext(Context context)

Description copied from interface: Contextual

Sets the application context to which the object belongs.

Typically this method simply delegates to Context.inject(Object), and should be called only once to populate the context. Most contextual objects do not support later alteration of the context, and will throw IllegalStateException if this method is invoked again.

Specified by:

setContext in interface Contextual

Overrides:

setContext in class AbstractContextual

See Also:

Context.inject(Object), for an example of how to implement this interface

dispose

public void dispose()

Description copied from interface: Disposable

Performs any needed cleanup of the object's services, in preparation for the object being retired (e.g., to make garbage collection possible).

Specified by:

dispose in interface Disposable

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class AbstractRichPlugin
