ExecutorService getExecutorService()

Gets the parallel loader ExecutorService.

getPropertyManager

PropMgr getPropertyManager()

Gets the server property manager.

loadFile

PropCnr loadFile(String fileName,

loadPlugins

List<IPluginDescriptor<?>> loadPlugins(String names)
                                throws IOException

Loads required plug-in's.

Each plug-in must have a class called "name.server.Descriptor" that implement the interface com.iizix.IPluginDescriptor available.

The plug-in definition should be found at the "name/schema/properties.xml", but the iiziGo modules have the "iizigo" module instead of "iizix". To figure out translation of names, a class called "name.server.Descriptor" is loaded and should implement the interface

Parameters:

names - The plug-in name, e.g. "com.iizigo.db,com.iizigo.term,com.iizigo.ws".

Throws:

IOException - If a plug-in failed to load.
