- Some components need to be run at the startup of mozilla or embedding - to
- start new services etc.
-
- This interface provides a generic way to start up arbitrary components
- without requiring them to hack into main1() (or into NS_InitEmbedding) as
- it's currently being done for services such as wallet, command line handlers
- etc.
-
- We will have a category called "app-startup" which components register
- themselves in using the CategoryManager.
-
- Components can also (optionally) add the word "service," as a prefix
- to the "value" they pass in during a call to AddCategoryEntry() as
- shown below:
-
- categoryManager->AddCategoryEntry(APPSTARTUP_CATEGORY, "testcomp",
- "service," NS_WALLETSERVICE_CONTRACTID
- PR_TRUE, PR_TRUE,
- getter_Copies(previous));
-
- Presence of the "service" keyword indicates the components desire to
- be started as a service. When the "service" keyword is not present
- we just do a do_CreateInstance.
-
- When mozilla starts (and when NS_InitEmbedding()) is invoked
- we create an instance of the AppStartupNotifier component (which
- implements nsIObserver) and invoke it's Observe() method.
-
- Observe() will enumerate the components registered into the
- APPSTARTUP_CATEGORY and notify them that startup has begun
- and release them.
