How to embed StreamBase Server into a third party application?

Solution

The pattern for embedding StreamBase Server is exactly the same as running a StreamBase Server instance in a single JUnit test. In the Java API Guide see the com.streambase.sb.unittest.SBServerManager class.

Here's an example skeleton of a class using this approach:

package com.sb.support.embedded;

import com.streambase.sb.unittest.SBServerManager;
import com.streambase.sb.unittest.ServerManagerFactory;

public class SBEmbed {
    private static SBServerManager server;
    public static void setupServer() throws Exception {
        // create a StreamBase server and load container applications
        server = ServerManagerFactory.getEmbeddedServer();
        server.startServer();
        server.loadDeploy("main.sbdeploy");
    }
    public static void stopServer() throws Exception {
        if (server != null) {
        server.shutdownServer();
        server = null;
        }
    }
}

The call to start up the main.sbdeploy containers is: SBEmbed.setupServer();
