Agent plugins

The plugin architecture uses the Java Service Loader to load custom plugins when the agent starts.

You must implement the pt.com.broker.core.AgentPlugin interface and create a file named pt.com.broker.core.AgentPlugin inside the META-INF/services directory containing you implementation full class name.

CustomPlugin.java

package pt.com.broker.samples;

import pt.com.broker.core.AgentPlugin;
import pt.com.gcs.messaging.Gcs;

public class  CustomPlugin implements AgentPlugin {

    @Override
    public void start(Gcs gcs) {
    
        // do something
        
    }
    
}

META-INF/services/pt.com.broker.core.AgentPlugin

pt.com.broker.samples.CustomPlugin

Finally you must put the resulting jar inside the agent class-path. You must run your code inside a thread otherwise the broker agent will block the execution and will not load the remaining plugins.
