6.6.15: Administering custom services (overview)
Configuring a custom service provides the ability to plug into
a WebSphere application server to define a hook point to be
executed at server startup and shutdown. It allows configurable
extensions to the application server runtime.
The application server runtime will load the classname specified in the
custom service properties and call its initialize()
method, passing in a Properties object that contains the configuration information
for the service. The configuration information for the custom service can be
arbitrary name-value pair properties, or information contained is an external
file, such as an XML file on disk somewhere.
