Initializers
An Initializer allows executing custom logic at startup time.
The Initializer class
An Initializer consists of a class implementing the Initializer interface annotated with @RegisterPlugin.
The following Initializer hangs restheart startup until the user confirms:
@RegisterPlugin(name = "confirmStartupInitializer",
description = "hangs restheart startup until the user hits <enter>"
priority = 100,
initPoint = InitPoint.BEFORE_STARTUP)
public class confirmStartupInitializer implements Initializer {
public void init() {
System.out.println("Hit <enter> to start RESTHeart");
System.console().readLine();
}
}With the following code the Initializer hangs restheart startup until the user confirms.
