public abstract class Application
extends Object

Class Application implements a common way of starting and executing an application that uses the onto API. The most important feature offered by this abstract class is Exception handling. Run an onto application from the commandline by extending this class in e.g. MyApplication in package com.mycompany.myproject. MyApplication's main method should read:

 
                public static void main(String[] args) {
                        Application.main("com.mycompany.myproject.MyApplication", args);
                }
        

MyApplication must support the following constructor:

                public MyApplication(String[] args) {
                        super(args);
                        ...
                }
        

And MyApplication must override the abstract execute() method.
