Modeling State in Annotation Style

To model a managed object that has states, implement a method the returns the current state, and annotate that method as @TeaGetStatus.

Prerequisites

The object is defined in annotation style. Top-level object types cannot have state.

Procedure

Implement a method to get the state. Annotate it as @TeaGetStatus. 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.

@TeaGetStatus
AgentObjectStatus getStatus(String key) {
    AgentObjectStatus result = new AgentObjectStatus();
    ...
    return result;
    }
