Interface Server


public interface Server
An embedded Liberty server instance.

Server instances are obtained using the ServerBuilder. The methods of this interface can be used to manage and control the server instance.

There are some limitations when working with an embedded server: environment variables are not checked, and jvm.options and server.env files are not read. Management of the JVM and environment is assumed to be managed by the caller.

bootstrap.properties and server.xml files will be read as normal.

Consumers of this SPI must not implement this interface. A server instance is thread safe.
