Creating System State Manager policy plug-in

The System State Manager will have policy associated with a transition in system state or a system-wide property. The transition from one state to another is implicit. The SSM policy is defined by a system state policy plug-in and an associated command list resource file.

SSM policies implements MSsmStatePolicy interface to initialize, prepare and return a commandlist using CSsmCommandListResourceReader. It also implements MSsmConditionalCallback function to decide whether to include a command in a commandlist or not.

The system state manager policies derived are normal, start-up, fail and shutdown. All these policies are created using the MSsmStatePolicy interface.

Follow the steps given below to create a normal policy plug-in:

Define a class that implements MSsmStatePolicy interface.

Export the static method to create new normal state policy plug-in as shown in the code snippet:


EXPORT_C MSsmStatePolicy* CGsaStatePolicyNormal::NewL()
{
    CGsaStatePolicyNormal* self = new ( ELeave ) CGsaStatePolicyNormal; 
    CleanupStack::PushL(self);    
    self->ConstructL();    
    CleanupStack::Pop(self);   
    return self;
}

The code returns a new normal state policy plug-in.

The normal state policy plug-in is created.
