Class PluginRegistry

java.lang.Object

net.grinder.plugininterface.PluginRegistry

public abstract class PluginRegistry
extends Object

Plugins must register themselves with the process wide singleton instance of this class.

Plugins should register before worker threads start, otherwise thread listeners will not be created for existing threads. Typically a plugin will want to initialise itself when a script imports one or more of its classes. A static initialiser is a good way to achieve this - see the net.grinder.plugin.http.HTTPPlugin implementation for an example.
