Packages

Handler packages provide ability to deploy or replace packaged components during runtime. These packages are typically deployed using an JarLoadedEventHandler and can be automatically redeployed in production with a package pulse or journal.

It is possible to extend the languages that are supported for dynamic handler packages with new event handlers. Rierino is shipped with dynamic package deployment for Java with the following properties:

• Name: Descriptive name of the handler package

• Status: Whether the handler package should still execute or not

• Description: Detailed explanation of the package contents

• Package Files: List and URLs of files to load for the package

• Package Handlers: List and fully qualified class names of handlers inside the package

While hot swapping packages during runtime has its risks, this feature allows for faster deployment of mission critical changes or simpler CI/CD processes during development.
