Interface ActionDef

All Known Implementing Classes:

ActionEmail, ActionLog, ActionRedirect, ActionRefreshPool, EventfulTableDataSet, EventProxy, ActionUDP, ActionNull

public interface ActionDef

Interface for user-written actions. An Action object that instantiates a user-written action class is used as an argument to the EventRegistration constructor. The user-written class, which is in the CLASSPATH of the T3Server, is dynamically loaded into the T3Server the first time any registration specifies it.

Because the Java class loader does not permit the passing of arguments to the constructors of dynamically loaded classes, the constructor for any user-written class that implements this interface must be a default constructor, that is, one that takes no arguments. The user-written registerInit() method takes the registration parameters as an input argument and allows the newly-constructed action object to inspect and act upon the registration parameters at the time of registration.

Note: The isLongRunning() method is deprecated in release 2.5. Users no longer need to implement this method in classes that implement this interface.

Method Summary

void	action(EventMessageDef ev) Acts on the specified EventMessage.
void	registerInit(ParamSet params) Initializes an action with the specified set of parameters.
void	setServices(T3ServicesDef services) Sets the services object for the action.

Method Detail

registerInit

public void registerInit(ParamSet params)
                  throws ParamSetException

Initializes an action with the specified set of parameters. Since dynamically loaded classes cannot pass arguments in a constructor, this method is used to pass registration parameters to the newly-constructed action object.

Parameters:

params - ParamSet object

Throws:

ParamSetException - if there is a problem with the registration

action

public void action(EventMessageDef ev)

Acts on the specified EventMessage. The T3Server calls this method when a user-written evaluate() method (from a class that implements weblogic.event.evaluators.EvaluateDef) returns true.

Parameters:

ev - EventMessage object

EvaluateDef

setServices

public void setServices(T3ServicesDef services)

Sets the services object for the action. The action can use the services reference to obtain access to other services in the T3Server.

Parameters:

services - Reference to access to T3Server services
