Hi Harun,
I came in need of a participant for some initialization work for my
web application.
So i implemented a java class and registered it to the rep/
participants.xml file as shown below
<rep>
<participant
blocking="true">ri.server.participant.ParticipantMySiteInitializer</
participant>
<participant param="rep/config-base.xml"
blocking="true">ParticipantConfig</participant>
<participant param="rep/datasources.xml"
blocking="true">ParticipantDatasources</participant>
<participant param="sites/mysite.xml"
blocking="true">ParticipantSite</participant>
</rep>
My requirement is that if my initializer participant fails rest of
the participants will not work. The first problem i faced is about
telling rife that the participant failed. I tried to throw a
RuntimeException from the initialize() method of the participant
since it does not declare any thrown exceptions. This way the
failure is ok but when i check the logs, is see a huge
[MultiException] stacktrace since the exception is not meant to be
handled by rife (i think?).
This exception is actually just being re-thrown by RIFE's Blocking
Repository as-is, after it has caught it from the participant. The
MultiException sounds like an exception that's specific to your
servlet-container.
Is there another way to show rife that a participant failed so that
it will not run other participants?
Throwing an exception is the best way, and RuntimeException makes
sense since it does happen at runtime and it's that close to the life-
cycle handling phase that nothing besides the Repository is able to
catch it, and thus nothing is able to do something worthwhile with it.
Also i cannot make a System.exit() call cause i have other
applications deployed on the container.
Just throwing the RuntimeException should stop the initialization of
the entire repository, doesn't it?
Best regards,
Geert
