public interface Service

A life-cycled service that supports cache functionality.

Implementation of this interface must be thread-safe.

Since CacheManagers can be closed and initialized again, Service implementations should support multiple start/stop cycles. Failure to do so will limit the init/close cycles at the CacheManager level.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	start(ServiceProvider<Service> serviceProvider) Start this service using the provided configuration and ServiceProvider.
void	stop() Stops this service.

Method Detail

start

void start(ServiceProvider<Service> serviceProvider)

Start this service using the provided configuration and ServiceProvider.

The service provider allows a service to retrieve and use other services.

A Service retrieved at this stage may not yet be started. The recommended usage pattern therefore, is to keep a reference to the dependent Service but use it only when specific methods are invoked on subtypes.

Parameters:

serviceProvider - the service provider

stop

void stop()

Stops this service.
