Server Life Cycle Events

A lifecycle module listens for and performs its tasks in response to the following events in the server life cycle:

• After the INIT_EVENT, the server reads the configuration, initializes built-in subsystems (such as security and logging services), and creates the containers.

• After the STARTUP_EVENT, the server loads and initializes deployed applications.

• After the READY_EVENT, the server is ready to service requests.

• After the SHUTDOWN_EVENT, the server destroys loaded applications and stops.

• After the TERMINATION_EVENT, the server closes the containers, the built-in subsystems, and the server runtime environment.

These events are defined in the LifecycleEvent class.

The lifecycle modules that listen for these events implement the LifecycleListener interface.
