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.

reloadProperties

void reloadProperties()
                      throws IOException

Reread all property files loaded at startup.

Throws:

IOException

getProperty

String getProperty(String name)

Gets a runtime service property given its name.

Parameters:

name - the property name

Returns:

the property value if any or null if none

getProperty

String getProperty(String name,
                 String defaultValue)

Gets a property value using a default value if the property was not set.

Parameters:

name - the property name

defaultValue - the default value to use when the property doesn't exists

Returns:

the property value

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

ComponentManager getComponentManager()

Gets the component manager.

Returns:

the component manager

getComponent

Object getComponent(String name)

Gets a component given its name as a string.

Parameters:

name - the component name as a string

Returns:

the component

getComponent

Object getComponent(ComponentName name)

Gets a component given its name.

Parameters:

name - the component name

Returns:

the component, or null if no such component was registered

getComponentInstance

ComponentInstance getComponentInstance(String name)

Gets a component implementation instance given its name as a string.

Parameters:

name - the component name as a string

Returns:

the component

getComponentInstance

ComponentInstance getComponentInstance(ComponentName name)

Gets a component implementation instance given its name.

Parameters:

name - the component name

Returns:

the component or null if no such component was registered

getContext

RuntimeContext getContext()

Gets the context of the runtime bundle.

Returns:

getService

<T> T getService(Class<T> serviceClass)

Gets the service of type serviceClass if such a service was declared by a resolved runtime component.

If the component is not yet activated, it will be prior to return the service.

Type Parameters:

T - the service type

Parameters:

serviceClass - the service class

Returns:

the service object

getWarnings

List<String> getWarnings()

Gets a list of startup warnings. Can be modified to add new warnings.

Returns:

the warning list

getBundleFile

File getBundleFile(org.osgi.framework.Bundle bundle)

OSGi frameworks are using a string Bundle.getLocation() to identify bundle locations.

This method try to convert the bundle location to real file if possible. If this bundle location cannot be converted to a file (e.g. it may be a remote URL), null is returned.

This method works only for bundles that are installed as files on the host file system.

Returns:

the bundle file, or null

getBundle

org.osgi.framework.Bundle getBundle(String symbolicName)

Get an installed bundle given its symbolic name. This method is not handling versions.

Parameters:

symbolicName -

Returns:

getStatusMessage

boolean getStatusMessage(StringBuilder msg)

Computes the runtime status, adds it to the given string builder, and return true if some problems have been detected.

Parameters:

msg -

Returns:

true if there are warnings/errors on current runtime.
