Configuration for Standalone version

This guide describes how to run primrose inside your standalone java application.

Install jar file

• Copy primrose.jar into your applications lib directory (or add it to your CLASSPATH)

Incorporate primrose into your code

• To start one or more pools from a config file :
  List loadedPoolNames = PrimroseLoader.load(args[0], true);

• Or to start a pool from a java.util.Properties object:
  Properties props = ... // load Properties object with your pool config data
List loadedPoolNames = PrimroseLoader.load(props, true);

• Note the boolean flag (createNewPools) on both of those load() methods :
  If createNewPools is true, then an existing pool is located, altered accordingly and restarted.
  If createNewPools is false, then existing pools for the poolName(s) passed are stopped, and replaced.
  

• You may also optionally load a "web console" to monitor your pools via a web browser:
  PrimroseWebConsoleLoader.load(8090, "/tmp/webconsole.log", "info,warn,error,crisis");
  The arguments are : <port> <log file name> <log level>

Here is a full example of loading primrose : TestPrimroseStandalone.java
Your application should now be running primrose.
