public abstract class ComputerLauncher
extends AbstractDescribableImpl<ComputerLauncher>
implements ExtensionPoint

Extension point to allow control over how Computers are "launched", meaning how they get connected to their slave agent program.

Method Detail

isLaunchSupported

public boolean isLaunchSupported()

Returns true if this ComputerLauncher supports programatic launch of the slave agent in the target Computer.

launch

public void launch(SlaveComputer computer,
                   TaskListener listener)
            throws IOException,
                   InterruptedException

Launches the slave agent for the given Computer.

If the slave agent is launched successfully, SlaveComputer.setChannel(java.io.InputStream, java.io.OutputStream, TaskListener, hudson.remoting.Channel.Listener) should be invoked in the end to notify Hudson of the established connection. The operation could also fail, in which case there's no need to make any callback notification, (except to notify the user of the failure through StreamTaskListener.)

This method must operate synchronously. Asynchrony is provided by Computer.connect(boolean) and its correct operation depends on this.

Parameters:

listener - The progress of the launch, as well as any error, should be sent to this listener.

Throws:

IOException - if the method throws an IOException or InterruptedException, the launch was considered a failure and the stack trace is reported into the listener. This handling is just so that the implementation of this method doesn't have to dilligently catch those exceptions.

InterruptedException

launch

public void launch(SlaveComputer computer,
                   StreamTaskListener listener)
            throws IOException,
                   InterruptedException

Deprecated. as of 1.304 Use launch(SlaveComputer, TaskListener)

Throws:

IOException

InterruptedException

afterDisconnect

public void afterDisconnect(SlaveComputer computer,
                            TaskListener listener)

Allows the ComputerLauncher to tidy-up after a disconnect.

This method is invoked after the Channel to this computer is terminated.

Disconnect operation is performed asynchronously, so there's no guarantee that the corresponding SlaveComputer exists for the duration of the operation.

afterDisconnect

public void afterDisconnect(SlaveComputer computer,
                            StreamTaskListener listener)

Deprecated. as of 1.304 Use afterDisconnect(SlaveComputer, TaskListener)

beforeDisconnect

public void beforeDisconnect(SlaveComputer computer,
                             TaskListener listener)

Allows the ComputerLauncher to prepare for a disconnect.

This method is invoked before the Channel to this computer is terminated, thus the channel is still accessible from SlaveComputer.getChannel(). If the channel is terminated unexpectedly, this method will not be invoked, as the channel is already gone.

Disconnect operation is performed asynchronously, so there's no guarantee that the corresponding SlaveComputer exists for the duration of the operation.

beforeDisconnect

public void beforeDisconnect(SlaveComputer computer,
                             StreamTaskListener listener)

Deprecated. as of 1.304 Use beforeDisconnect(SlaveComputer, TaskListener)
