How to keep the jolie service up an running?

I have a glossary service (jolie service) that provides the definitions based on the input terms. I start this service in the usual way :

jolie ./Glossary.ol

The issue is that the service exits as soon as the first request is served. To get the definition of another term, I need to start the service again.

How do I keep the service running? Once I do that, what are the options to stop the service (other than Ctrl+C)?

Solution

  • you can use the concurrent execution modality, guarded choices (the syntax [ input ]{ post-response code }, and the exit instruction. Here's a simple example (imports, ports, and services omitted for brevity).

    // client.ol
main {
  for( i=0, i<10, nullProcess ){
    inc@server( i )( i )
    println@Console( i )()
  }
  shutdown@server()()
}

    // server.ol
execution{ concurrent }

main {
  [ inc( i )( i ){
    println@Console( "received " + i + ", sending " + ++i )()
  } ]
  [ shutdown()() ]{ exit }
}
