Hello,
I am writing a plugin for JSPWiki that manages data which is persisted
in the filesystem.
The collection of data is loaded on initialize() and stored on receiving
a shutdown event.
The Javadoc of PluginManager explains about events during the lifecycle
of a plugin,
but does not specify the multiplicity of plugins: is any plugin loaded
only once in JSPWiki -
i.e. is a plugin instance in fact a logical singleton?
If plugins are loaded only once, I can keep the data collection as
attribute to the plugin
instance (using synchronisation to shield concurrent calls) but if
multiple plugin instances
can be created I will have to keep the data collection as static fields.
Can anyone enlighten me?
regards, Andre van Dalen
