Method Detail

attach

void attach(MicroService service,
            java.lang.Runnable onAttached)

Attaches a MicroService to the UI. For most Surfaces, this should be done before the MicroService is started so any interaction code with the Surface can be loaded and exposed to the MicroService before the JavaScript is executed.

Parameters:

service - The MicroService to attach

detach

void detach()

Detaches any currently attached MicroService. The Surface may then be ready to be discarded or reattached to another MicroService.

reset

void reset()

Detaches and clears the Surface. This is the preferred method when the Surface is to be reused. detach() may leave behind some UI state, as it expects that the MicroService may later be re-attached. reset() clears any UI state back to a fresh state.
