Interface ScheduledApplication

public interface ScheduledApplication

It is allowed to schedule an application based on a specific event. ScheduledApplication service keeps the schedule information. When the specified event is fired a new instance must be launched. Note that launching operation may fail because e.g. the application is locked.

Each ScheduledApplication instance has an identifier which is unique within the scope of the application being scheduled.

ScheduledApplication instances are registered as services. The APPLICATION_PID service property contains the PID of the application being scheduled, the SCHEDULE_ID service property contains the schedule identifier.
