Method Detail

serverSetup

public void serverSetup(java.util.Properties properties)
                 throws BeanProviderException

This method is called when the server first starts up. It is only called in the case of the reporting server loading a bean (ie, it is not called when you pass beans directly to Windward Reports in the non client-server case.) In this case there will be only a single instance of this bean.

Parameters:

properties - The properties set for this bean in the server properties file.

Throws:

BeanProviderException - thrown if the bean can not be used. This will stop the server from running.

serverTeardown

public void serverTeardown()
                    throws BeanProviderException

This method is called when the server is shutting down. It is only called in the case of the reporting server loading a bean (ie, it is not called when you pass beans directly to Windward Reports in the non client-server case.) In this case there will be only a single instance of this bean.

Throws:

BeanProviderException - thrown if there is a problem. This will be logged but the server will continue a regular shutdown.
