Modeling State in Interface Style

To model a managed object that has states, implement the supplemental interface com.tibco.tea.agent.api.WithStatus. WithStatus requires that you implement one method, getStatus, which returns the current state of a managed object.

Prerequisites

The object is defined in interface style.

Procedure

Implement the WithStatus interface in your managed object type. The status method must return an instance of the class com.tibco.tea.agent.types.AgentObjectStatus. AgentObjectStatus is a standard format for encapsulating state within agents. It has three fields:

state: Required. The state name.
desc: Optional. An interpretive description of the state.
uptime: Optional. The length of time that the managed object has been in this state.

public class TomcatServer implements TeaObject, WithStatus
    ...
    public AgentObjectStatus getStatus() {
        ...
    }
}
