DESCRIPTION

HeliosX::Job::JSON::TestService is a Helios service that can be used for testing HeliosX::Job::JSON jobs.

HELIOS METHODS

JobClass()

The JobClass method tells the Helios system to use HeliosX::Job::JSON instead of the default Helios::Job when working with HeliosX::Job::JSON::TestService.

run()

The run() method of HeliosX::Job::JSON::TestService is a bare-bones method. It logs a "Hello World" message to the Helios logging system, and then logs all of the job arguments in the job it was given.

The remarkable thing about this run() method is that it is wholly unmarkable; even though the job argument format and parser has changed, the run() method is no different than one using the default job class and XML-format arguments.
