Class BlueprintEvent

java.lang.Object
  org.osgi.service.blueprint.container.BlueprintEvent

public class BlueprintEvent
extends java.lang.Object

A Blueprint Event.

BlueprintEvent objects are delivered to all registered BlueprintListener services. Blueprint Events must be asynchronously delivered in chronological order with respect to each listener.

In addition, after a Blueprint Listener is registered, the Blueprint extender will synchronously send to this Blueprint Listener the last Blueprint Event for each ready Blueprint bundle managed by this extender. This replay of Blueprint Events is designed so that the new Blueprint Listener can be informed of the state of each Blueprint bundle. Blueprint Events sent during this replay will have the isReplay() flag set. The Blueprint extender must ensure that this replay phase does not interfere with new Blueprint Events so that the chronological order of all Blueprint Events received by the Blueprint Listener is preserved. If the last Blueprint Event for a given Blueprint bundle is DESTROYED, the extender must not send it during this replay phase.

A type code is used to identify the type of event. The following event types are defined:

• CREATING
• CREATED
• DESTROYING
• DESTROYED
• FAILURE
• GRACE_PERIOD
• WAITING

In addition to calling the registered BlueprintListener services, the Blueprint extender must also send those events to the Event Admin service, if it is available.

Field Detail

CREATING

public static final int CREATING

The Blueprint extender has started creating a Blueprint Container for the bundle.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

CREATED

public static final int CREATED

The Blueprint extender has created a Blueprint Container for the bundle. This event is sent after the Blueprint Container has been registered as a service.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DESTROYING

public static final int DESTROYING

The Blueprint extender has started destroying the Blueprint Container for the bundle.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

DESTROYED

public static final int DESTROYED

The Blueprint Container for the bundle has been completely destroyed. This event is sent after the Blueprint Container has been unregistered as a service.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

FAILURE

public static final int FAILURE

The Blueprint Container creation for the bundle has failed. If this event is sent after a timeout in the Grace Period, the getDependencies() method must return an array of missing mandatory dependencies. The event must also contain the cause of the failure as a Throwable through the getCause() method.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

GRACE_PERIOD

public static final int GRACE_PERIOD

The Blueprint Container has entered the grace period. The list of missing dependencies must be made available through the getDependencies() method. During the grace period, a GRACE_PERIOD event is sent each time the set of unsatisfied dependencies changes.

See Also:

Constant Field Values

WAITING

public static final int WAITING

The Blueprint Container is waiting on the availability of a service to satisfy an invocation on a referenced service. The missing dependency must be made available through the getDependencies() method which will return an array containing one filter object as a String.
