Interface ncsa.habanero.Initializable

public interface Initializable
The Initializable interface is intended for applications which need parameters initialized by whoever starts the application before all clients see it.

Method Index

o isInitialized()
isInitialized is used to control whether a MirrorFrame is shown.
o queryForParameters(Collobject)
queryForParameters should be implemented to query the user who started the application for the parameters needed to initialize it.

Methods

o isInitialized 
 public abstract boolean isInitialized()
isInitialized is used to control whether a MirrorFrame is shown. Your application should return true when it is ready for all users to see it.

o queryForParameters 
 public abstract void queryForParameters(Collobject c)
queryForParameters should be implemented to query the user who started the application for the parameters needed to initialize it. The result should be an Action which sends those parameters to all of the users. After the parameters are set, the Action should call Collobject.frame().show() in order to show the application to all users. Since the frame will not be shown until isInitialized() returns true, it is possible to send multiple initializing Actions and ensure the application will not be shown until all initialization is complete.
