Hello! I have created a component, as explained in the tutorials. Let's call it "Component". Component has two services, ServiceA and ServiceB. Both of these services take a while to complete, and should be executed in sequence, since ServiceB depends on the completion of ServiceA.
I declare my services like this: public Interface ServiceA { Object getStuff(); } public Interface ServiceAObject extends IServiceA, runnable { void setStuff(Object stuff); } public Class ServiceAImpl implements ServiceAObject { private Object stuff; Object getStuff() { return stuff; } void setStuff(Object stuff) { this.stuff = stuff; } } Same idea for ServiceB. My Avalon service providers implement ServiceA and ServiceB respectively. My questions are: 1. When I was using only ServiceA, I only had to make a call to getStuff() in initialize(). At that time, I didn't really stop to think about the mechanism. I would like to know what actually fires off the service. 2. How can I get Component to wait for the completion of ServiceA so I can fire ServiceB? I tried making a direct call to serviceA.start(), but that didn't work. I don't think that I should be making my service providers Runnable. So, there's something I'm not getting here... Can anybody help me understand this, please? Thanks so much!! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
