Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	hasSubject(Object aSubject)	Returns true if the provided subject is contained inside this RemoteServer.
boolean	publishSubject(Object aSubject)	Publishes an object to any RemoteClient connected to the RemoteServer.
boolean	signOffSubject(Object aSubject)	Tries to sign off the (previously published) subject, this can be vetoed in case the subject is still in use by a RemoteClient.
boolean	signOffSubject(Object aSubject, int aTimeoutInMs)	Signs off the (previously published) subject, this be vetoed even in case the subject is still in use by a RemoteClient, but the veto will only delay the sign off by the given timeout.
Iterator<Object>	subjects()	Returns an (immutable) iterator containing all the proxy objects previously being published.

Method Detail

hasSubject

boolean hasSubject(Object aSubject)

Returns true if the provided subject is contained inside this RemoteServer.

Parameters:

aSubject - The subject to be tested if it is contained inside the RemoteServer.

Returns:

True if the given subject is contained inside the RemoteServer.

subjects

Iterator<Object> subjects()

Returns an (immutable) iterator containing all the proxy objects previously being published. Use the signOffSubject(Object) method in order to remove a published subject.

Returns:

An iterator containing the published proxy objects.

publishSubject

boolean publishSubject(Object aSubject)
                throws org.refcodes.component.OpenException

Publishes an object to any RemoteClient connected to the RemoteServer.

Parameters:

aSubject - A subject being published for inter-process communication such as remote procedure calls or remote method invocations.

Returns:

True is returned if the subject could be published, else false is returned

Throws:

org.refcodes.component.OpenException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.

signOffSubject

boolean signOffSubject(Object aSubject)
                throws org.refcodes.exception.VetoException,
                       org.refcodes.component.OpenException

Tries to sign off the (previously published) subject, this can be vetoed in case the subject is still in use by a RemoteClient.

Parameters:

aSubject - Description is currently not available!

Returns:

True if the removal of the subject has been successful. If the subject has not been found then false is returned. If a RemoteClient threw a VetoException then the sign-off is aborted.

Throws:

org.refcodes.exception.VetoException - the veto exception

org.refcodes.component.OpenException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.

signOffSubject

boolean signOffSubject(Object aSubject,
                       int aTimeoutInMs)
                throws org.refcodes.component.OpenException

Signs off the (previously published) subject, this be vetoed even in case the subject is still in use by a RemoteClient, but the veto will only delay the sign off by the given timeout.

Parameters:

aSubject - The subject to be signed off.

aTimeoutInMs - The timeout to be granted in case the sign-off has been vetoed, nevertheless the subject will be signed off after the timeout elapsed.

Returns:

True if the removal of the subject has been successful. If the subject has not been found then false is returned. If a RemoteClient threw a VetoException then the sign-off is aborted.

Throws:

org.refcodes.component.OpenException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.
