ApplicationContextLifeCycle<T>, ApplicationContextProvider, AutoCloseable, Closeable, LifeCycle

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface EmbeddedApplication<T extends EmbeddedApplication>
extends ApplicationContextLifeCycle<T>

An EmbeddedApplication is a runnable application that starts and manages the ApplicationContext.

This interface is the parent interface of EmbeddedServer which formalizes the concept of a server that exposes a port and address

Applications that did not expose a port and address (messaging applications, CLI applications etc. may wish to use this interface instead

Since:

1.0

Method Detail

getApplicationContext

ApplicationContext getApplicationContext()

Description copied from interface: ApplicationContextProvider

Resolves the ApplicationContext for this class.

Specified by:

getApplicationContext in interface ApplicationContextProvider

Returns:

The ApplicationContext for the server

getApplicationConfiguration

ApplicationConfiguration getApplicationConfiguration()

Returns:

The ApplicationConfiguration instance

getEnvironment

default Environment getEnvironment()

Returns:

The Environment for the server

isServer

default boolean isServer()

This method returns whether the application is a server application or not. Server applications require that the thread be kept a live, preventing the application from exiting.

Returns:

True if the application is a server

isForceExit

default boolean isForceExit()

Most servers shutdown cleanly, however some integrations make require a forced exist. If true is returned Micronaut will explicitly invoke System.exit(..).

Returns:

Whether exiting the server should be forced.
