Lifecycles¶
These modules are the ones which defines the way the execution is driven. When you want to perform a concrete execution of your security modules, a lifecycle might do what you want do. In the lifecycles are defined the methods and the order in which they will be invoked, and you can take the decision of what information will need your security modules, use callbacks as arguments to make a call back to a method of your lifecycle and take that feedback to your lifecycle for taking decisions, etz.
These modules can be found in the main directory of BOA, concretely in the directory “lifecycles”. The files you will find there will have a name like “boalc_whatever.py”, but is not necessary to follow the nomenclature. You can name your modules as you like. If you want to write your own, you will have to store your module in the expected directory (i.e. /path/to/BOA/lifecycles).
All your lifecycles will need to inherit from BOALifeCycleAbstract in order to work as a lifecycle.
