6.6.15: Administering custom services (overview)

Configuring a custom service provides the ability to plug into a WebSphere application server to define a hook point to be executed at server startup and shutdown. It allows configurable extensions to the application server runtime.

The application server runtime will load the classname specified in the custom service properties and call its initialize() method, passing in a Properties object that contains the configuration information for the service. The configuration information for the custom service can be arbitrary name-value pair properties, or information contained is an external file, such as an XML file on disk somewhere.
