Registering Commands

After a command listener is instantiated by the framework, the framework calls the getCommands() method. This method returns an array of CommandDescriptor objects. The CommandDescriptor objects describe each command that the CommandListener is designed to handle. The CommandDescriptor object consists of three main parts:

A string for the command
The method in the command listener to call
The list of arguments expected for this command.

The next few sections describe the classes used by the framework when registering commands.

Note:

All of these classes are in the package com.essbase.eas.framework.defs.command.
