The LifecycleEvent Class

The com.sun.appserv.server.LifecycleEvent class defines a server life cycle event. The following methods are associated with the event:

• public java.lang.Object.getData()

  This method returns an instance of java.util.Properties that contains the properties defined for the lifecycle module.

• public int getEventType()

  This method returns the type of the last event, which is INIT_EVENT, STARTUP_EVENT, READY_EVENT, SHUTDOWN_EVENT, or TERMINATION_EVENT.

• public com.sun.appserv.server.LifecycleEventContext.getLifecycleEventContext()

  This method returns the lifecycle event context, described next.

A LifecycleEvent instance is passed to the LifecycleListener.handleEvent method.
