Class RMIPeerManager

java.lang.Object
  org.atmosphere.plugin.rmi.RMIPeerManager

public class RMIPeerManager
extends Object

This manager is in charge of sending all broadcasted messages to a set of known peers (thanks to its sendAll(String, Object) method) and to bind a RMIBroadcastService (thanks to its method).

The manager is a singleton. To be instantiated successfully the first time its getInstance() method is called, a property file at this location must exists in the classpath. Both RMI server port and peers location must be declared. The port is associated to the key RMI_SERVER_PORT_PROPERTY and each peer location will be associated to a key starting by this prefix. Sample of properties file content :

      rmi.server.port=4000
      rmi.peer.server1=com.my.company.server1:4000
      rmi.peer.server2=com.my.company.server2:4000
  

NOTE : the properties file should not contains the peer's URL of the server this manager is running on.

Moreover, any value declared in the properties file could be overridden with a system property. Each system property must starts with this prefix followed by the property key as declared in the properties file. For instance, if I want to override the value of the property 'rmi.peer.server1' declared in the properties file, I will run my server with '-D org.atmosphere.rmi.peer.server1=my.overridden.host:port' in the command line.

TODO : Should be enhanced to discover peers automatically thanks to multicast
