Package wt.manager

Class ServerLauncher

java.lang.Object
wt.manager.ServerLauncher
public class ServerLauncher extends Object
A Class used by the server manager to launch new servers. This class uses service names to look up server launching commands as properties. Server launching command properties are of the form wt.manager.cmd.service_name.

If the command property value is a single word (i.e. no white space) and ends in .class, an attempt will be made to launch the service as an internal java.rmi.Remote object. Likewise, if no command property is found, but the service name is the fully qualified name of an available Java class, it will also be launched as an internal java.rmi.Remote object.

For external server processes, the command property is a command string that will be executed using java.lang.Runtime.exec.

This class contains a main method so it can be executed as a stand-alone application which will launch the "ServerManager" service using the configured launching command.

Supported API: true
