Annotation Interface RuntimeStart

@Retention(RUNTIME) @Documented @Qualifier @Target({TYPE,METHOD,PARAMETER,FIELD}) public @interface RuntimeStart
Run time of the application (as opposed to build time).

This is from the point of view of ahead of time compilation, such as when using GraalVM native-image.

There are two phases of an application lifecycle:

  • BuildTimeStart - Application should not connect anywhere, this is to initialize the environment before native-image is generated. Configuration available is build-time specific and MUST not be used for runtime operation of this application
  • Runtime (this annotation) - Application is starting and should set up all resources. Configuration available at runtime is intended for runtime of this application

Example of usage in a CDI Extension: 

 void initRuntime(@Observes @RuntimeStart io.helidon.config.Config config) {}
End of runtime is equivalent to end of ApplicationScoped, so there is no need to create additional annotations.
