Constructor Detail

STAFHelper

public STAFHelper()

Purpose: constructor, must be 'initialized' by the user.

STAFHelper

public STAFHelper(java.lang.String processName)
           throws SAFSSTAFRegistrationException

Purpose: constructor that also initializes with the given processName.

Throws:

SAFSSTAFRegistrationException

Method Detail

configEmbeddedServices

public static void configEmbeddedServices(ConfigureInterface config)

Evaluate [STAF] to determine if any or all Embeddable Services should be launched.
Currently only the EmbeddedSemService and EmbeddedQueue services are handled.

We also will launch an Embedded Debug Log if the System properties or INI file are configured.

startEmbeddedQueueService

public static void startEmbeddedQueueService()

Start the embedded Queue Service.

shutdownEmbeddedServices

public static void shutdownEmbeddedServices()

Currently only the EmbeddedSemService is handled.

removeShutdownHook

public boolean removeShutdownHook()

Only valid AFTER initialization and the automatic registration of the SHUTDOWN_THREAD. The internal shutdown thread only unregisters and nulls the instance handle.

Returns:

reinstateShutdownHook

public void reinstateShutdownHook()

Only valid AFTER initialization. External classes that might have called removeShutdownHook() might want to reinstate the shutdown hook at a later time. However, this is only valid while the JVM has not already initiated JVM shutdown and the invocation of registered JVM shutdown hooks. The internal shutdown thread only unregisters and nulls the instance handle to STAF.

getProcessName

public java.lang.String getProcessName()

the String name of the process/hook used at construction

Specified by:

getProcessName in interface CoreInterface

getHandle

public HandleInterface getHandle()

get the handle. hopefull this won't be needed if all of the methods here do the work

getHandleNumber

public int getHandleNumber()

get the handle's number

getMachine

public java.lang.String getMachine()

get the current value of 'machine'

Specified by:

getMachine in interface CoreInterface

setMachine

public void setMachine(java.lang.String machine)

isToolAvailable

public boolean isToolAvailable(java.lang.String toolname)

Queries the STAF HANDLE service to see if a particular process name is currently registered and running.

For example, the SAFSVARS service process name is "SAFSVariableService".

The routine will do a QUERY ALL on the HANDLE service and then evaluate if the requested tool appears anywhere in the returned list of named processes.

Note, because we do a substring search, we can match on just the most significant portion of the process name.

Specified by:

isToolAvailable in interface CoreInterface

Parameters:

toolname - -- The name of the process of interest. Check your documentation to find the name normally registered by the tool of interest. This can be just a substring of the full tool name.

Returns:

true or false

isServiceLibraryRunning

public boolean isServiceLibraryRunning(java.lang.String libname)

Queries the STAF SERVICE service to see if a particular LIBRARY is already running. This is often necessary because, for example, we cannot specify the JVM= option for launching new JSTAF services if the JSTAF service library is already running.

For example, the SAFSVARS service libary name "JSTAF".

The routine will do a LIST on the SERVICE service and then evaluate if the requested Library appears anywhere in the returned list of named services.

Parameters:

libname - -- The name of the LIBRARY of interest. Check your documentation to find the name normally registered for the library of interest. This check is NOT case-sensitive.

Returns:

true or false

isServiceAvailable

public boolean isServiceAvailable(java.lang.String servicename)

Queries the STAF SERVICE service to see if a particular service is currently registered and running. For example, the SAFSVARS service is "SAFSVARS".

The routine will do a "LIST" on the SERVICE service and then evaluate if the requested service appears anywhere in the returned list of services.

Note, because we do a substring search, we can match on just the most significant portion of the service name.

Specified by:

isServiceAvailable in interface CoreInterface

Parameters:

servicename - unique substring of the service of interest. Check your documentation to find the name normally registered by the service of interest. This can be just a substring of the full service name.
