Interface ServiceLocator

All Known Implementing Classes:

ServiceLocatorImpl

public interface ServiceLocator

This is the entry point for clients of the Service Locator. To access the Service Locator clients have to first connect to the Service Locator to get a session assigned at the server. Once the connection is established the client will periodically send heart beats to the server to keep the session alive. The session gets invalidated if the client is destroyed, disconnected, or fails to successfully send the heart beat for a period of time defined by the session timeout parameter.

The Service Locator provides the following operations.

• Register an endpoint for a specific service. If registered as non persistent an endpoint is marked live as long as the session of this client is alive or it is explicitly unregistered. If registered as persistent the endpoint is marked live until the endpoint is explicitly unregistered.
• Unregister an endpoint for a specific service. The endpoint is marked as non live, but still in the list of all endpoints for a service.
• Remove an endpoint for a specific service. The endpoint is removed from the list of endpoints for the given service.
• Look up all live endpoints for a specific service that were registered before by other clients.
• All services for which an endpoint was ever registered can be retrieved.
• For a specific service all endpoints that were ever registered can be retrieved whether they are currently live or not.

To ensure that all available endpoints are re-registered when the client reconnects after a session expired a ServiceLocator.PostConnectAction should be set that registers all endpoints again and so marks them as live.

Method Detail

connect

void connect()
             throws InterruptedException,
                    ServiceLocatorException

Establish a connection to the Service Locator. After successful connection the specified ServiceLocator.PostConnectAction is run. If the session to the server expires because the server could not be reached within the specified time, a reconnect is automatically executed as soon as the server can be reached again. Because after a session time out all registered endpoints are removed it is important to specify a ServiceLocator.PostConnectAction that re-registers all endpoints.

Throws:

InterruptedException - the current Thread was interrupted when waiting for a successful connection to the ServiceLocator

ServiceLocatorException - the connect operation failed

disconnect

void disconnect()
                throws InterruptedException,
                       ServiceLocatorException

Disconnects from a Service Locator server. All endpoints that were registered before are removed from the server. To be able to communicate with a Service Locator server again the client has to connect again.

Throws:

InterruptedException - the current Thread was interrupted when waiting for the disconnect to happen

ServiceLocatorException

register

void register(QName serviceName,
              String endpoint)
              throws ServiceLocatorException,
                     InterruptedException

For a given service register the endpoint of a concrete provider of this service. The endpoint is marked as live as long as this client is connected and the session on the server is valid.

The endpoint is categorized as being a SOAP / HTTP endpoint.

Parameters:

serviceName - the name of the service the endpoint is registered for, must not be null

endpoint - the endpoint to register, must not be null

Throws:

ServiceLocatorException - the server returned an error

InterruptedException - the current Thread was interrupted when waiting for a response of the ServiceLocator

register

void register(QName serviceName,
              String endpoint,
              boolean persistent)

                     InterruptedException

For a given service register the endpoint of a concrete provider of this service. The endpoint is marked as live as long as this client is connected and the session on the server is valid. In addition a set of custom properties is defined for the endpoint. They may be used as additional selection criteria during the lookup.

Parameters:

serviceName - the name of the service the endpoint is registered for, must not be null
