Method Detail

initialize

void initialize(Profile p)
         throws IMTPException

Initialize this IMTPManager

Throws:

IMTPException

shutDown

void shutDown()

Release all resources of this IMTPManager

getLocalNode

Node getLocalNode()
           throws IMTPException

Access the node that represents the local JVM.

Returns:

A Node object, representing the local node of this platform.

Throws:

IMTPException - If something goes wrong in the underlying network transport.

exportPlatformManager

void exportPlatformManager(PlatformManager mgr)
                    throws IMTPException

Makes the platform Service Manager available through this IMTP.

Parameters:

mgr - The ServiceManager implementation that is to be made available across the network.

Throws:

IMTPException - If something goes wrong in the underlying network transport.

unexportPlatformManager

void unexportPlatformManager(PlatformManager sm)
                      throws IMTPException

Stops making the platform Service Manager available through this IMTP.

Throws:

IMTPException - If something goes wrong in the underlying network transport.

getPlatformManagerProxy

PlatformManager getPlatformManagerProxy()
                                 throws IMTPException

Retrieve a proxy to the PlatformManager specified in the local Profile

Throws:

IMTPException - If something goes wrong in the underlying network transport.

getPlatformManagerProxy

PlatformManager getPlatformManagerProxy(String addr)
                                 throws IMTPException

Retrieve a proxy to the PlatformManager listening at a given address

Throws:

IMTPException - If something goes wrong in the underlying network transport.

reconnected

void reconnected(PlatformManager pm)

Inform the local IMTPManager that this node is now connected to the given PlatformManager

createSliceProxy

Service.Slice createSliceProxy(String serviceName,
                               Class itf,
                               Node where)
                        throws IMTPException

Builds a proxy object for a remote service slice.

Parameters:

itfs - The array of all the interfaces that have to be implemented by the returned proxy. The first element of the array must be an interface derived from Service.Slice.

Returns:

A proxy object that can be safely casted to any of the interfaces in the itfs array.
