Service (Apache Tomcat 7.0.109 API Documentation)

All Superinterfaces:

Lifecycle

All Known Implementing Classes:

Embedded, StandardService
```
public interface Service
extends Lifecycle
```
A Service is a group of one or more Connectors that share a single Container to process their incoming requests. This arrangement allows, for example, a non-SSL and SSL connector to share the same population of web apps.
A given JVM can contain any number of Service instances; however, they are completely independent of each other and share only the basic JVM facilities and classes on the system class path.

- Method Detail
  - getContainer
```
Container getContainer()
```
    Returns:
    the Container that handles requests for all Connectors associated with this Service.
  - setContainer
```
void setContainer(Container container)
```
    Set the Container that handles requests for all Connectors associated with this Service.
    
    Parameters:
    container - The new Container
  - getInfo
```
String getInfo()
```
    Returns:
    descriptive information about this Service implementation and the corresponding version number, in the format <description>/<version>.
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns:
    the name of this Service.
  - setName
```
void setName(String name)
```
    Set the name of this Service.
    
    Parameters:
    name - The new service name
  - getServer
```
Server getServer()
```
    Returns:
    the Server with which we are associated (if any).
  - setServer
```
void setServer(Server server)
```
    Set the Server with which we are associated (if any).
    
    Parameters:
    server - The server that owns this Service
  - getParentClassLoader
```
ClassLoader getParentClassLoader()
```
    Returns:
    the parent class loader for this component. If not set, return getServer() Server.getParentClassLoader(). If no server has been set, return the system class loader.
  - setParentClassLoader
```
void setParentClassLoader(ClassLoader parent)
```
    Set the parent class loader for this service.
    
    Parameters:
    parent - The new parent class loader
  - addConnector
```
void addConnector(Connector connector)
```
    Add a new Connector to the set of defined Connectors, and associate it with this Service's Container.
    
    Parameters:
    connector - The Connector to be added
  - findConnectors
```
Connector[] findConnectors()
```
    Find and return the set of Connectors associated with this Service.
    
    Returns:
    the set of associated Connectors
  - removeConnector
```
void removeConnector(Connector connector)
```
    Remove the specified Connector from the set associated from this Service. The removed Connector will also be disassociated from our Container.
    
    Parameters:
    connector - The Connector to be removed
  - addExecutor
```
void addExecutor(Executor ex)
```
    Adds a named executor to the service
    
    Parameters:

```
    Retrieves all executors
    
    Returns:
    Executor[]
  - getExecutor
```
Executor getExecutor(String name)
```
    Retrieves executor by name, null if not found
    
    Parameters:

    Executor
  - removeExecutor
```
void removeExecutor(Executor ex)
```
