Constructor Detail

NiMKernelService

public NiMKernelService(NiMKernelServiceVisa visa)

This constructor is called by the NiMKernel to instantiate a kernel service.

Parameters:

visa - Reference to a NiMKernelServiceVisa object. Only the NiMKernel can have a reference to the visa object. This parameter is used to ensure that service instantiation can only be done through the NiM kernel.

Throws:

NiMRuntimeException - If the reference tot he visa object is null.

Method Detail

init

protected abstract void init(NiMKernel kernel,
                             ConfigurationService confService)
                      throws InitializationFailedException,
                             NiMException

This method is used to initialize the kernel service. Extenders of this class must implement this method.

Parameters:

kernel - Reference to the NiMKernel object that instantiated the service.

confService - A reference to the configuration service. All the service implementations (except ConfigurationService) should retrieve the setting information from it.

Throws:

InitializationFailedException - If unable to initialize the kernel service.

NiMException - If service initialization can not be done due to failure in establish a connection to the back-end service. Not all service implementation will throw this exception.
