How To Create Component In ATG – GenericService Class

By / In ATG, Java / Comments(1)

For creating nucleus components your component class must implement number of interfaces to get the desired functionality but we can simplify our work by extending only one class. ATG provides a base class that provides smooth integration into the ATG Nucleus: atg.nucleus.GenericService

Properties
  • loggingDebug
  • loggingError
  • loggingInfo
  • loggingWarning
  • name
  • nameContext
Methods
  • resolveName(): Finds a component by its Nucleus path name.
  • isRunning(): Tells what the current status of this component is.
  • doStartService/doStopService(): Are run when the component is started or stopped by Nucleus.

doStartService and doStopService methods to perform any setup or cleanup operations. For instance, if you had a component that established a connection with a third-party system, doStartService() might create and maintain a socket connection, and doStopService() would cleanly terminate the connection.
