public interface AppStartUp

Method Detail

start

boolean start()
              throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method is called when the application containing this bean is started. Any exception thrown by the start method is the same as the method returning false. This method should return quickly. If it needs to do any extended processing then it should use a WorkManager and do this processing using a Work object (WorkManager.startWork).

This method cannot be declared with TX_MANDATORY as there will never be an incoming transaction when the start method is called. A runtime exception will result if TX_MANDATORY is used.

Returns:

true if the application can start, false if the startup code wants to abort starting the application.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException

stop

void stop()
          throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This is called when an application is stopped normally. All beans implementing this remote interface will have their stop methods called. Any exceptions are ignored.

This method cannot be declared with TX_MANDATORY as there will never be an incoming transaction when the start method is called. A runtime exception will result if TX_MANDATORY is used.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException
