Application

public class Application extends AbstractIdleService
Known Direct Subclasses

Main object and access point for the SDK.

Every connector begins execution by creating an instance of this class and calling its start() method. This starts processing, triggering the SDK to begin making connector calls as configured in the configuration file.

Sample usage: 

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
     Application application = new Application.Builder(
         new MyConnector(new MyRepository()), args).build();
     application.start();
   }

Optional configuration parameter(s):

  • .INCREMENTAL_INTERVAL_SECONDS - Specifies the interval between scheduled incremental traversals (in seconds).
  • .TRAVERSE_ON_START - Specifies whether to run the traversal immediately at start up rather than waiting for the first interval to expire.
  • .POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS - Specifies the interval between scheduled poll queue intervals (in seconds).
  • .TRAVERSE_INTERVAL_SECONDS - Specifies the interval between scheduled traversals (in seconds).
  • .RUN_ONCE - Specifies whether the connector should exit after a single traversal.

Public Methods

public static void setLogger (Logger logger)

Helper method to override default Logger used by Application implementation.

Parameters
logger to use

public synchronized void shutdown (String event)

Shutdown Connector in response to an event.

Parameters
event triggering shutdown.

public void start ()

Begins connector execution by initializing and starting the SDK.

This is the main entry point for the SDK. This method initializes all the objects used in traversing a repository and schedules the traversals based on the configuration parameters.

Throws
InterruptedException if aborted during start up
