- All Superinterfaces:
- Externalizable, Serializable

public interface RemoteRef extends Externalizable
RemoteRef
represents the handle for a remote object. ARemoteStub
uses a remote reference to carry out a remote method invocation to a remote object.- Since:
- JDK1.1

Method Detail
invoke
Object invoke(Remote obj, Method method, Object[] params, long opnum) throws Exception
Invoke a method. This form of delegating method invocation to the reference allows the reference to take care of setting up the connection to the remote host, marshaling some representation for the method and parameters, then communicating the method invocation to the remote host. This method either returns the result of a method invocation on the remote object which resides on the remote host or throws a RemoteException if the call failed or an application-level exception if the remote invocation throws an exception.- Parameters:
-
obj
- the object that contains the RemoteRef (e.g., the RemoteStub for the object. -
method
- the method to be invoked -
params
- the parameter list -
opnum
- a hash that may be used to represent the method - Returns:
- result of remote method invocation
- Throws:
-
Exception
- if any exception occurs during remote method invocation - Since:
- 1.2
newCall
@Deprecated RemoteCall newCall(RemoteObject obj, Operation[] op, int opnum, long hash) throws RemoteException
Deprecated. 1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls on the stub's the remote reference (newCall
,invoke
, anddone
), a stub uses a single method,invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int)
, on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.Creates an appropriate call object for a new remote method invocation on this object. Passing operation array and index, allows the stubs generator to assign the operation indexes and interpret them. The remote reference may need the operation to encode in the call.- Parameters:
-
obj
- remote stub through which to make call -
op
- array of stub operations -
opnum
- operation number -
hash
- stub/skeleton interface hash - Returns:
- call object representing remote call
- Throws:
-
RemoteException
- if failed to initiate new remote call - Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
-
invoke(Remote,java.lang.reflect.Method,Object[],long)
invoke
@Deprecated void invoke(RemoteCall call) throws Exception
Deprecated. 1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls to the remote reference (newCall
,invoke
, anddone
), a stub uses a single method,invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int)
, on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.Executes the remote call. Invoke will raise any "user" exceptions which should pass through and not be caught by the stub. If any exception is raised during the remote invocation, invoke should take care of cleaning up the connection before raising the "user" or remote exception.- Parameters:
-
call
- object representing remote call - Throws:
-
Exception
- if any exception occurs during remote method - Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
-
invoke(Remote,java.lang.reflect.Method,Object[],long)
done
@Deprecated void done(RemoteCall call) throws RemoteException
Deprecated. 1.2 style stubs no longer use this method. Instead of using a sequence of method calls to the remote reference (newCall
,invoke
, anddone
), a stub uses a single method,invoke(Remote, Method, Object[], int)
, on the remote reference to carry out parameter marshalling, remote method executing and unmarshalling of the return value.Allows the remote reference to clean up (or reuse) the connection. Done should only be called if the invoke returns successfully (non-exceptionally) to the stub.- Parameters:
-
call
- object representing remote call - Throws:
-
RemoteException
- if remote error occurs during call cleanup - Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
-
invoke(Remote,java.lang.reflect.Method,Object[],long)
getRefClass
String getRefClass(ObjectOutput out)
Returns the class name of the ref type to be serialized onto the stream 'out'.- Parameters:
-
out
- the output stream to which the reference will be serialized - Returns:
- the class name (without package qualification) of the reference type
- Since:
- JDK1.1
remoteHashCode
int remoteHashCode()
Returns a hashcode for a remote object. Two remote object stubs that refer to the same remote object will have the same hash code (in order to support remote objects as keys in hash tables).- Returns:
- remote object hashcode
- Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
-
Hashtable
remoteEquals
boolean remoteEquals(RemoteRef obj)
Compares two remote objects for equality. Returns a boolean that indicates whether this remote object is equivalent to the specified Object. This method is used when a remote object is stored in a hashtable.- Parameters:
-
obj
- the Object to compare with - Returns:
- true if these Objects are equal; false otherwise.
- Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
-
Hashtable
remoteToString
String remoteToString()
Returns a String that represents the reference of this remote object.- Returns:
- string representing remote object reference
- Since:
- JDK1.1
