This example shows how the {@link oaj.microservice.RestMicroservice} class can be extended to implement lifecycle listener methods or override existing methods.
We'll create a new class com.foo.SampleCustomRestMicroservice.

First, the manifest file needs to be modified to point to our new microservice:

Main-Class: com.foo.SampleCustomRestMicroservice

Then we define the following class:

/** * Sample subclass of a RestMicroservice that provides customized behavior. * This class must be specified in the Main-Class entry in the manifest file and optionally * a Main-ConfigFile entry. */ public class SampleCustomRestMicroservice extends RestMicroservice { /** * Must implement a main method and call start()! */ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { new SampleCustomRestMicroservice(args).start().join(); } /** * Must implement a constructor! * * @param args Command line arguments. * @throws Exception */ public SampleCustomRestMicroservice(String[] args) throws Exception { super(args); }

The microservice APIs provide several useful methods that can be used or extended.
