Interface Service

Known Implementing Classes:
Catalina, Embedded, StandardService

public interface Service

A Service is a group of one or more Connectors that share a single Container to process their incoming requests. This arrangement allows, for example, a non-SSL and SSL connector to share the same population of web apps.

A given JVM can contain any number of Service instances; however, they are completely independent of each other and share only the basic JVM facilities and classes on the system class path.

Method Details

addConnector

public void addConnector(Connector connector)
Add a new Connector to the set of defined Connectors, and associate it with this Service's Container.

Parameters:
connector - The Connector to be added


findConnectors

public Connector[] findConnectors()
Find and return the set of Connectors associated with this Service.


getContainer

public Container getContainer()
Return the Container that handles requests for all Connectors associated with this Service.


getInfo

public String getInfo()
Return descriptive information about this Service implementation and the corresponding version number, in the format <description>/<version>.


getName

public String getName()
Return the name of this Service.


getServer

public Server getServer()
Return the Server with which we are associated (if any).


initialize

public void initialize()
            throws LifecycleException
Invoke a pre-startup initialization. This is used to allow connectors to bind to restricted ports under Unix operating environments.

Throws:
LifecycleException - If this server was already initialized.


removeConnector

public void removeConnector(Connector connector)
Remove the specified Connector from the set associated from this Service. The removed Connector will also be disassociated from our Container.

Parameters:
connector - The Connector to be removed


setContainer

public void setContainer(Container container)
Set the Container that handles requests for all Connectors associated with this Service.

Parameters:
container - The new Container


setName

public void setName(String name)
Set the name of this Service.
