org.nuxeo.runtime
Interface RuntimeService

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRuntimeService, OSGiRuntimeService, OSGiRuntimeTestService, SimpleRuntime, TestRuntime

public interface RuntimeService

The runtime service: a singleton object that provides access to the Nuxeo Runtime. The runtime service must be started before any other runtime component or object that accesses the runtime.

This service is usually implemented for each target platform where Nuxeo Runtime should run.

It is recommended to extend the AbstractRuntimeService class instead of directly implementing this interface.

After the runtime service was initialized, it may be accessed through the facade class Framework.

expandVars

String expandVars(String expression)

Replaces any substring in the form ${property.name} with the corresponding runtime property value if any, otherwise leaves the substring unchanged.

Parameters:

expression - the expression to process

Returns:

the expanded expression

getComponentManager

Gets a component given its name as a string.

Parameters:

name - the component name as a string

Returns:

the component
