Basic Usage

Create a simple configuration file

{
	"Class": "my.Job",
}

Create a simple class which implements Loader:

public class Job extends AbstractLoader implements Loader {

  /**
   * @see coyote.loader.AbstractLoader#configure(coyote.loader.cfg.Config)
   */
  @Override
  public void configure( Config cfg ) throws ConfigurationException {
    // Always a good idea to call this first 
    super.configure( cfg );

    // Now do my own configuration 
  }




  /**
   * @see coyote.loader.AbstractLoader#start()
   */
  @Override
  public void start() {
    // Blocking call from the MAIN thread
  }




  /**
   * @see coyote.loader.thread.ThreadJob#shutdown()
   */
  @Override
  public void shutdown() {

    // Perform our shutdown activities first

    // Now perform the super-class termination
    super.shutdown();
  }

}

call the BootStrap

coyote.loader.BootStrap src/test/resources/test.json

The Bootstrap will load the file into a Config object and look for a Class configuration attribute. If found, it will create an instance of that class and if it is an instance Loader. configure it, start it and then shut it down.

It is that easy.
