Method Detail

getPid

java.lang.String getPid()
Returns the PID of the application as defined in the server configuration

Returns:
The PID

getName

java.lang.String getName()
Returns the name of the application as defined in the server configuration

Returns:
The name

getLocation

java.lang.String getLocation()
Returns the location of the application. This should be the fully qualified absolute path to the application unless this was not available

Returns:
The location

getContainer

com.ibm.wsspi.adaptable.module.Container getContainer()

This is the container that has been created for this application.

By default this will be set to a container created on the location on disk of this application. If the getLocation() does not return an absolute location on disk this will return null. The return value can be specified by ApplicationHandlers in the setContainer(Container) method.

Returns:
The container for the application

setContainer

void setContainer(com.ibm.wsspi.adaptable.module.Container container)

This method will set a new Container onto this application. This allows ApplicationHandlers that work with an adapted (typically an InterpretedContainer) version of a container to only have to create it once and associate it with this application instance.

The container for this application will be used to monitor when the application has been deleted so if this method is used the new container should still be for the location on disk that will be used by the user.

Parameters:
container - The new container for this application

getConfigProperty

java.lang.Object getConfigProperty(java.lang.String propName)
This returns the value of a property in the application configuration.

Parameters:
propName -
Returns:
The value of the property.

getHandlerInfo

T getHandlerInfo()
This returns any information that the application handler has associated with this application.

Returns:
The application handler information

setHandlerInfo

void setHandlerInfo(T handlerInfo)
Parameters:
handlerInfo - The application handler information
