Class InstanceTrigger

java.lang.Object
  com.softwareag.mdm.schema.trigger.InstanceTrigger

public abstract class InstanceTrigger

extends Object

Specifies methods that are automatically executed when some operations are performed on an instance.

Schema definition

The trigger must be declared under the element xs:annotation/xs:appinfo:

 <mdm:trigger class="com.foo.MyInstanceTrigger" />

where com.foo.MyInstanceTrigger is the fully qualified name of the class implementing this interface. It is also possible to set additional JavaBean properties:

 <mdm:trigger class="com.foo.MyInstanceTrigger">
 	 <param1>...</param1>
 	 <param2>...</param2>
 </mdm:trigger>

where param1 and param2 are JavaBean properties of the class specified.

For more information, read JavaBeans specification.

Life-cycle

1. When the schema is loaded:
   1. the class specified is instantiated through its default constructor and the JavaBean properties' setters are called (in the example above, setParam1(...) and setParam2(...));
   2. the method setup(TriggerSetupContext) is called on the new instance.
2. In operational phase: the methods handle... are called each time the associated operation is executed.

If several operations are defined for the same instance, no specific ordering in their execution must be assumed.
