Interface EngineLifecycleExtension

  • All Known Implementing Classes:
    MarkdownSetupEngineLifecycleExtension

    public interface EngineLifecycleExtension

    SPI used to notify JSPWiki extensions about Engine's initialization & shutdown, without having to deep dive on Engine's internals.

    Examples of EngineLifecycleExtension's use cases:

    • Appending a plugin's classpath to jspwiki.plugin.searchPath, so it can be used as a drop-in, without further configuration.
    • Providing default parameters for a custom extension.
    • Setting up that expensive singleton, or disposing resources, without having to use or register a WikiEventListener.

    As a concrete example, the markdown module uses an EngineLifecycleExtension to set up all the required properties if jspwiki.syntax=markdown is provided on the jspwiki[-custom].properties file.

    All methods are provided with a default, do-nothing implementation, so specific EngineLifecycleExtensions only have to provide implementations for the methods they're really interested in.
