Method Detail

cleanup

public void cleanup()

Description copied from interface: ILifecycleAware

This method is invoked once immediately before the current instance is disposed. Implementers have to ensure that every resource that was obtained during the call of ILifecycleAware.initialise() is released!

Specified by:

cleanup in interface ILifecycleAware

initialise

public void initialise()

Description copied from interface: ILifecycleAware

This method is invoked after the current instance is fully configured. It is safe to acquire system resources or handles here. Nevertheless container handles should not be acquired here because the associated handle provider is most likely not intialised yet.

If the current instance is also a handle provider, the handle must be available after this method completes!

Specified by:

initialise in interface ILifecycleAware

start

public void start()

Default implementation just enables the current behaviour.

Specified by:

start in interface ILifecycleAware

stop

public void stop()

Default implementation just disables the current behaviour.

Specified by:

stop in interface ILifecycleAware

runShort

protected abstract void runShort()

Specified by:

runShort in class AbstractPeriodicRunnable
