The
affect children boolean flag affects the results of
this action:
- The start action starts the administered object and all
its children (and children's children) if the affect children boolean
field is in the message and is set to true.
- If the flag is not in the message or is set to false,
only the administered object receiving the start action changes its run-state.
For example, sending
start to a bridge object with
affect
children as
true causes all proxy, client connection,
and listeners that are ancestors, to start. If
affect children is
not specified, only the bridge is started. An object cannot be started unless
its parent object has already been started. Sending a start event to an administered
object attempts to start all the objects higher in the hierarchy that are
not already running.
