Passing Object to Embedded Vertx Verticle

[Evgeny Shenker]

Hello!
Having embedded vertx instance that deploys services and verticles how can we pass Object that was created
early in embedding application to verticles that are running?
We tried to use context on vertx instance, but it seems to be different for verticles and does not contain the object
that was put.

Thanks.

Hello,

What do you mean by “pass Object” ?

You can configure each verticle by specifying a configuration in the deployment options (a parameter of vertx.deployVerticle).

If the verticle needs to “interact”, I would recommend using the event bus to send and receive messages.

Hey!
Thanks for the answer.
The reason for passing object is that its not serializable so it can not be passed via event bus.
The object is just some logic that is initiated and used by application and now is needed by verticles to perform its functionality.
I can probably use static references to get access to the object from vertcle since its the same process and there is no classloader issues.
Just think that maybe there is more convenient way to do this.
Maybe some repository for beans that can be accessed from vertx container.
Thanks
Any thoughts?

you can deploy directly java verticle instance if you like. so you can instantiate yourself this verticle and pass it the object in constructor or later (beware it won’t probably be the same thread than running the verticle).

Hey!

Thanks for the answer.

Its definitely the solution.
The problem in my case is that verticle and services are currently implemented in groovy script and also the idea was to use
the bean in vertx service (proxed), that is auto generated. I understand that i can manually register the implementation.
I guess that the thread will be  different too. Probably vertx will spawn its own threads and not use the application one that created it.

Thanks all.
