WebLogic Server 8.1 API Reference

weblogic.common
Interface T3StartupDef

public interface T3StartupDef

T3StartupDef defines the interface for user-written startup objects.

A class that implements this interface and is registered in WebLogic's config.xml file will be automatically launched when the WebLogic Server starts up, and its startup method will be called. For more information on registering a startup class, check the Administrators' guide document, "Starting and Stopping WebLogic Servers."

Any class that implements this interface must have a public default constructor. For example, class "foo" must have a contstructor like:

     public foo() {
     }

                         throws java.lang.Exception

The startup method is called by the WebLogic Server when your object is launched. Its arguments are supplied by the registration in WebLogic's config.xml file. The "name" argument is the virtual_name for the startupClass property, and the "hashtable" argument is made up of the name-value pairs supplied with the startupArgs property. The String returned by the startup() method is sent to the log file.

Parameters:

name - Virtual name by which the class is registered as a startupClass in the config.xml file

ht - A Hashtable that is made up of the name-value pairs supplied from the startupArgs property

Returns:

String that is sent to the log file

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - if there is an error

setServices

public void setServices(T3ServicesDef services)
