Class RmiProtocol

java.lang.Object
  org.objectweb.fractal.rmi.RmiProtocol

All Implemented Interfaces:

BindingController, Protocol

public class RmiProtocol

extends Object

implements Protocol, BindingController

Provides a very simple invocation protocol component. This invocation protocol uses only two kinds of messages:

• request messages:

  HEADER			PAYLOAD
  request identifier (4 bytes)	object key length (4 bytes)	object key data (variable length)	payload (variable length)

• reply messages:

  HEADER		PAYLOAD
  request identifier (4 bytes)	exception flag (1 byte)	payload (variable length)

The request identifier is used to associate request and reply messages correctly. The object key identifies the remote object on which the invocation must be performed. The exception flag is used to indicate if a reply contains a normal result or an exception.

Field Summary

protected NamingContext	adapter The naming context used to decode the object key contained in request messages.
protected Logger	logger The logger used to log messages.
protected LoggerFactory	loggerFactory The optional logger factory used to get a logger for this component.
protected MarshallerFactory	marshallerFactory The marshaller factory used to create request or reply messages.
protected Scheduler	scheduler The scheduler used to synchronized threads for waiting reply messages.

Constructor Summary

RmiProtocol()
Constructs a new RmiProtocol.

Method Summary

void	bindFc(String clientItfName, Object serverItf)
ProtocolGraph	createProtocolGraph(ProtocolGraph[] subgraphs, Context hints) Creates a new protocol graph with a number of given sub protocol graphs.
SessionIdentifier	createSessionIdentifier(Properties info, SessionIdentifier[] next) Creates a new session identifier with the provided info.
boolean	isAnInvocationProtocol() Returns true if the target protocol is an invocation protocol.
String[]	listFc()
Object	lookupFc(String clientItfName)
void	unbindFc(String clientItfName)

Field Detail

adapter

protected NamingContext adapter

The naming context used to decode the object key contained in request messages.

marshallerFactory

protected MarshallerFactory marshallerFactory

The marshaller factory used to create request or reply messages.

scheduler

protected Scheduler scheduler

The scheduler used to synchronized threads for waiting reply messages.

loggerFactory

Constructor Detail

RmiProtocol

public RmiProtocol()

Constructs a new RmiProtocol.

Method Detail

listFc

public String[] listFc()

Specified by:

listFc in interface BindingController

lookupFc

public Object lookupFc(String clientItfName)

Specified by:

lookupFc in interface BindingController

bindFc

public void bindFc(String clientItfName,
                   Object serverItf)

Specified by:

bindFc in interface BindingController

unbindFc

public void unbindFc(String clientItfName)

Specified by:

unbindFc in interface BindingController

isAnInvocationProtocol

public boolean isAnInvocationProtocol()

Returns true if the target protocol is an invocation protocol. An invocation protocol is a protocol able to handle invocations, i.e., requests expecting a reply. In practice, this means that calls to the prepareInvocation method on sessions obtained from the target protocol will not raise an InternalException, but perform the appropriate work.

Specified by:

isAnInvocationProtocol in interface Protocol

Returns:

true if the target protocol is an invocation protocol.

createProtocolGraph

public ProtocolGraph createProtocolGraph(ProtocolGraph[] subgraphs,
                                         Context hints)
                                  throws JonathanException

Creates a new protocol graph with a number of given sub protocol graphs.

Specified by:

createProtocolGraph in interface Protocol

Parameters:

subgraphs - the lower-level graphs.

hints - the information required to build the graph.

Returns:

a new ProtocolGraph.

Throws:

JonathanException - if the hints or the subgraphs are invalid for this protocol.

createSessionIdentifier

public SessionIdentifier createSessionIdentifier(Properties info,
                                                 SessionIdentifier[] next)
                                          throws JonathanException

Creates a new session identifier with the provided info.

Specified by:

createSessionIdentifier in interface Protocol

Parameters:

info - the information to create the session identifier.

next - lower session identifiers, if any.

Returns:

the created session identifer.

Throws:

JonathanException - if something goes wrong.
