What problem does it solve?
Managing multiple BoxLang applications in a single server or runtime while keeping their configurations, lifecycles, and resources isolated can be complex. This skill provides structured guidance for per-app discovery, naming, and lifecycle handling using Application.bx to ensure clean boundaries between apps and predictable behavior.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Per-app lifecycle management with onApplicationStart/onApplicationEnd hooks and per-app configuration using this.* properties.
- Multi-application isolation enabling parallel hosting of distinct sites (e.g., public, admin, API) in one runtime.
- Clear guidelines for app-scoped schedulers and watchers, app naming, and runtime configuration differences (boxlang.json vs Application.bx).
Quick Start
Create an Application.bx for a new app named MyApp with the required lifecycle callbacks and app-scoped settings.
