All Implemented Interfaces:

Service

@Beta
public abstract class AbstractService
extends Object
implements Service

Base class for implementing services that can handle doStart() and doStop() requests, responding to them with notifyStarted() and notifyStopped() callbacks. Its subclasses must manage threads manually; consider AbstractExecutionThreadService if you need only a single execution thread.

AbstractService

public AbstractService()

doStart

protected abstract void doStart()

This method is called by start() to initiate service startup. The invocation of this method should cause a call to notifyStarted(), either during this method's run, or after it has returned. If startup fails, the invocation should cause a call to notifyFailed(Throwable) instead.

This method should return promptly; prefer to do work on a different thread where it is convenient. It is invoked exactly once on service startup, even when start() is called multiple times.

doStop

protected abstract void doStop()

This method should be used to initiate service shutdown. The invocation of this method should cause a call to notifyStopped(), either during this method's run, or after it has returned. If shutdown fails, the invocation should cause a call to notifyFailed(Throwable) instead.

This method should return promptly; prefer to do work on a different thread where it is convenient. It is invoked exactly once on service shutdown, even when stop() is called multiple times.

start

public final ListenableFuture<Service.State> start()

Description copied from interface: Service

If the service state is Service.State.NEW, this initiates service startup and returns immediately. If the service has already been started, this method returns immediately without taking action. A stopped service may not be restarted.

Specified by:

start in interface Service

Returns:

a future for the startup result, regardless of whether this call initiated startup. Calling Future.get() will block until the service has finished starting, and returns one of Service.State.RUNNING, Service.State.STOPPING or Service.State.TERMINATED. If the service fails to start, Future.get() will throw an ExecutionException, and the service's state will be Service.State.FAILED. If it has already finished starting, Future.get() returns immediately. Cancelling the returned future is unsupported and always returns false.

stop

public final ListenableFuture<Service.State> stop()

Description copied from interface: Service

If the service is starting or running, this initiates service shutdown and returns immediately. If the service is new, it is terminated without having been started nor stopped. If the service has already been stopped, this method returns immediately without taking action.

Specified by:

stop in interface Service

Returns:

a future for the shutdown result, regardless of whether this call initiated shutdown. Calling Future.get() will block until the service has finished shutting down, and either returns Service.State.TERMINATED or throws an ExecutionException. If it has already finished stopping, Future.get() returns immediately. Cancelling this future is unsupported and always returns false.

startAndWait

public Service.State startAndWait()

Description copied from interface: Service

Initiates service startup (if necessary), returning once the service has finished starting. Unlike calling start().get(), this method throws no checked exceptions, and it cannot be interrupted.

Specified by:

startAndWait in interface Service

Returns:

the state of the service when startup finished.

stopAndWait

public Service.State stopAndWait()

Description copied from interface: Service

Initiates service shutdown (if necessary), returning once the service has finished stopping. If this is Service.State.STARTING, startup will be cancelled. If this is Service.State.NEW, it is terminated without having been started nor stopped. Unlike calling stop().get(), this method throws no checked exceptions.

Specified by:

stopAndWait in interface Service

Returns:

the state of the service when shutdown finished.

notifyStarted

protected final void notifyStarted()

Implementing classes should invoke this method once their service has started. It will cause the service to transition from Service.State.STARTING to Service.State.RUNNING.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the service is not Service.State.STARTING.

notifyStopped

protected final void notifyStopped()

Implementing classes should invoke this method once their service has stopped. It will cause the service to transition from Service.State.STOPPING to Service.State.TERMINATED.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if the service is neither Service.State.STOPPING nor Service.State.RUNNING.

notifyFailed

protected final void notifyFailed(Throwable cause)

Invoke this method to transition the service to the Service.State.FAILED. The service will not be stopped if it is running. Invoke this method when a service has failed critically or otherwise cannot be started nor stopped.

isRunning

public final boolean isRunning()

Description copied from interface: Service

Returns true if this service is running.

Specified by:

isRunning in interface Service

state

public final Service.State state()

Description copied from interface: Service

Returns the lifecycle state of the service.

Specified by:

state in interface Service

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: java.lang.Object

Returns a string representation of the object. In general, the toString method returns a string that "textually represents" this object. The result should be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a person to read. It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.

The toString method for class Object returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the value of:

 getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
 

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of the object.
