Detailed Description

A utility class for starting BlueBerry applications.

In the simplest case, create an instance of this class and call run(). This will launch a CTK plugin framework instance and execute the default application registered by a plug-in via the org.blueberry.osgi.applications extension point.

This class contains many convenience methods to:

  • Put the application in safe mode which catches unhandled exceptions thrown in the Qt event loop and displays an error message.
  • Put the application in single mode which by default sends the command line arguments to an already running instance of the same application instead of creating a second instance.
  • Add a list of library names which should be pre-loaded at application start-up, e.g. to speed up the initial launch during the caching process of the plug-in meta-data.
  • Set a custom provisioning file to start a specific set of CTK plug-ins during application start-up.
  • Set and get CTK plugin framework properties

The behavior can further be customized by deriving from BaseApplication and overriding specific methods, such as:

A simple but complete example:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
mitk::BaseApplication app(argc, argv);
app.setApplicationName("MyApp");
app.setOrganizationName("MyOrganization");
// Run the workbench
return app.run();
}

◆ getCTKFrameworkStorageDir()

virtual QString mitk::BaseApplication::getCTKFrameworkStorageDir ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Get the framework storage directory for the CTK plugin framework. This method is called in the initialize(Poco::Util::Application&) method. It must not be called without a QCoreApplications instance.

Returns

◆ getFrameworkProperties()

QHash<QString, QVariant> mitk::BaseApplication::getFrameworkProperties ( ) const
protected

Get the initial properties for the CTK plugin framework.

The returned map contains the initial framework properties for initializing the CTK plugin framework. The value of specific properties may change at runtime and differ from the initial value.

Returns
The initial CTK Plugin Framework properties.

◆ getOrganizationDomain()

QString mitk::BaseApplication::getOrganizationDomain ( ) const

◆ getOrganizationName()

QString mitk::BaseApplication::getOrganizationName ( ) const

◆ getPreloadLibraries()

A list of pre-loaded libraries.

◆ getProperty()

QVariant mitk::BaseApplication::getProperty ( const QString &  property) const

◆ getProvisioningFilePath()

QString mitk::BaseApplication::getProvisioningFilePath ( ) const

Get the file path to the provisioning file.

Returns
The provisioning file path.

◆ getQApplication()

virtual QCoreApplication* mitk::BaseApplication::getQApplication ( ) const
protectedvirtual

Get the QCoreApplication object.

This method is called in the initialize(Poco::Util::Application&) method and must create a QCoreApplication instance if the global qApp variable is not initialized yet.

Returns
The current QCoreApplication instance. This method never returns null.

◆ getSafeMode()

bool mitk::BaseApplication::getSafeMode ( ) const

◆ getSingleMode()

bool mitk::BaseApplication::getSingleMode ( ) const

◆ initialize()

void mitk::BaseApplication::initialize ( Poco::Util::Application &  self)
overrideprotected

◆ initializeCppMicroServices()

virtual void mitk::BaseApplication::initializeCppMicroServices ( )
protectedvirtual

Initialize the CppMicroServices library.

The default implementation set the CppMicroServices storage path to the current ctkPluginConstants::FRAMEWORK_STORAGE property value.

This method is called in the initialize(Poco::Util::Application&) after the CTK Plugin Framework storage directory property was set.

◆ initializeLibraryPaths()

virtual void mitk::BaseApplication::initializeLibraryPaths ( )
protectedvirtual

Add plugin library search paths to the CTK Plugin Framework.

This method is called in the nitialize(Poco::Util::Application&) method after getQApplication() was called.

◆ initializeQt()

void mitk::BaseApplication::initializeQt ( )

Initialize the Qt library such that a QCoreApplication instance is available and e.g. Qt widgets can be created.

This is usually not called directly by the user.

◆ initializeSplashScreen()

void mitk::BaseApplication::initializeSplashScreen ( QCoreApplication *  application) const
protected

◆ installTranslator()

void mitk::BaseApplication::installTranslator ( QTranslator *  )

◆ isRunning()

bool mitk::BaseApplication::isRunning ( )

◆ main()

int mitk::BaseApplication::main ( const std::vector< std::string > &  args)
overrideprotected

Runs the application for which the platform was started. The platform must be running.

The given argument is passed to the application being run. If it is an invalid QVariant then the command line arguments used in starting the platform, and not consumed by the platform code, are passed to the application as a QStringList.

Parameters
argsthe argument passed to the application. May be invalid
Returns
the result of running the application
Exceptions
std::exceptionif anything goes wrong

◆ printHelp()

void mitk::BaseApplication::printHelp ( const std::string &  name,
const std::string &  value 
)

◆ run()

int mitk::BaseApplication::run ( )
override

Launches the BlueBerry framework and runs the default application or the one specified in the PROP_APPLICATION framework property.

Returns
The return code of the application after it was shut down.

◆ sendMessage()

void mitk::BaseApplication::sendMessage ( const  QByteArray)

◆ setApplicationName()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setApplicationName ( const QString &  name)

Set the application name. Same as QCoreApplication::setApplicationName.

Parameters
nameThe application name.

◆ setOrganizationDomain()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setOrganizationDomain ( const QString &  name)

Set the organization domain. Same as QCoreApplication::setOrganizationDomain.

Parameters
nameThe organization domain.

◆ setOrganizationName()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setOrganizationName ( const QString &  name)

Set the organization name. Same as QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName.

Parameters
nameThe organization name.

◆ setPreloadLibraries()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setPreloadLibraries ( const QStringList &  libraryBaseNames)

Set a list of library names or absoulte file paths which should be loaded at application start-up. The name and file path may contain a library version appended at the end and separated by a '$' charactger.

For example liborg_mitk_gui_qt_common$1.0. Platform specific suffixes are appended automatically.

Parameters
libraryBaseNamesA list of library base names.

◆ setProperty()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setProperty ( const QString &  property,
const QVariant &  value 
)

◆ setProvisioningFilePath()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setProvisioningFilePath ( const QString &  filePath)

Set the path to the provisioning file.

By default a provisioning file located in the same directory as the executable and named <executable>.provisioning is loaded if it exists. To disable parsing of provisioning files, use an empty string as the argument. Use a null QString (QString::null ) to reset to the default behaviour.

Parameters
filePathAn absolute file path to the provisioning file.

◆ setSafeMode()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setSafeMode ( bool  safeMode)

Put the application in safe mode, catching exceptions from the Qt event loop.

Parameters
safeMode

◆ setSingleMode()

void mitk::BaseApplication::setSingleMode ( bool  singleMode)

Put the application in single mode, which by default only allows a single instance of the application to be created.

Calling this method after run() has been called has no effect.

Parameters
singleMode

◆ uninitialize()
