Interface ContextPreparation


public interface ContextPreparation
How an application prepares itself in one of its Contexts (e.g. reads or creates its configuration there and reaches what it needs) and reports its state there. It is optional: an application without it is active in every Context. The class is annotated ContextPreparer.

Both methods work in the Context of the token of the caller, which SmartGears sets before calling them. An exception thrown by either makes the Context inactive, with a generic reason.

    • prepare

      ContextState prepare()
      Prepares the application in the Context of the caller. It does nothing when the application is already active there. It may be called at the same time in the same Context (the start-up thread, a request, the check of the health), so it must be safe under concurrent calls.
      Returns:
      the state of the application in the Context after the attempt
    • state

      ContextState state()
      Returns the state of the application in the Context of the caller, without preparing it.
      Returns:
      the state
