Initialize the application tool. The data parameter holds a different
type depending on how the tool is being instantiated:
- For global tools data will be null
- For request tools data will be of type RunData
- For session and authorized tools data will be of type User
It is possible that session scope tools will be initialized with a null
User object. This happens when the first request on a
session happens to the be login action. The next request on the session
will cause the session tool to be refreshed if
tools.per.request.refresh is set to true
in TurbineResources.properties. You will then be able to
get a User object from the instance of
RunData.
Parameters:
data - initialization data |
