Petals ESB lifecycles

Introduction

Several concurrent life-cycles exist in Petals ESB:

The Petals ESB life-cyle

The Petals ESB life-cycle is very simple.

A Gliffy Diagram named: Petals ESB lifecyle

It contains only one state: STARTED. The implicit state 'STOPPED' does not really exist because in such state no Petals ESB process is running.

The transition from state 'STOPPED' to 'STARTED' is realized using the Petals ESB startup script 'petals-esb'. The return to the state 'STOPPED' is realized using ^C or the command 'petals-esb stop'. See Starting and stopping Petals ESB.

The shared-library life-cyle

The life-cycle

The shared-library life-cycle is simple.

A Gliffy Diagram named: Shared-Library lifecyle

It contains only one state: INSTALLED. The implicit state 'UNINSTALLED' does not really exist because the shared-library is not instantiated or loaded.
The transition from state 'UNINSTALLED' to 'INSTALLED' is realized installing the shared library, and the return to the state 'UNINSTALLED' is realized uninstalling the shared-library. A shared library can be (un)installed using Petals CLI, the Petals Autoloader, Petals Ant Tasks or the JMX API.

Constraints

The shared library life-cycle is linked to the component life-cycle:

  • a shared library required by a component must be installed before to load the component
  • a shared library can not be uninstalled until a component requiring it is installed.

The component life-cycle

The life-cycle

The component life-cycle is the more complex life-cycle of Petals ESB life-cycles. It is composed of two correlated sub life-cycles:

  • the component installer life-cycle that drives the installation of the component,
  • the component life-cycle itself.

Constraints

The component life-cycle is linked to:

  • the shared life-cycle,
  • the service-unit lifecycle.
  • and have following constraint against the service-unit life-cyle:
    Service unit state loadNewInstaller install start stop shutdown uninstall unloadInstaller
    UNDEPLOYED
    SHUTDOWN
    STOPPED
    STARTED
    • component required by a service unit must be installed and running (ie. in state STOPPED or STARTED) before to deploy the service unit,
    • if service units are deployed on, a component can only be started or stopped. All service units must be undeployed before to try any other transitions.

The service-assembly life-cycle

The service assembly life-cycle can be viewed as a wrapper of its all service unit life-cycles. It propose to drive the life-cycle of its service-units in on operation.

The transitions from state 'UNDEPLOYED' to 'SHUTDOWN' is realized deploying the service assembly, and the return to the state 'UNDEPLOYED' is realized undeploying the service assembly. A service assembly can be (un)deployed/started/stopped/shutdown using Petals CLI, the Petals Autoloader, Petals Ant Tasks or the JMX API.

The service-unit life-cyle

The service unit life-cycle is simple:

The implicit state 'UNDEPLOYED' does not really exist because the service unit is not deployed.
