Oracle Fusion Middleware Java API Reference for Oracle TopLink

oracle.toplink.remotecommand
Class DiscoveryManager

java.lang.Object
  extended by oracle.toplink.remotecommand.DiscoveryManager
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.lang.Runnable

public class DiscoveryManager
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Runnable

Purpose: Detects new members of a logical TopLink cluster.

Description: Each RemoteCommandManager has its own DiscoveryManager, which handles the detection of other remote command services as they become available. The DiscoveryManager is an active object (in that it extends Thread) and becomes a separate thread when it is started using startDiscovery().

Discovery is done through the use of a multicast. Each discovery manager joins the multicast group and announces itself to the group. As it receives service announcements from other discovery managers it notifies the RCM to establish connections to and from the new service.

Since:
OracleAS TopLink 10g (9.0.4)

Constructor Detail

DiscoveryManager

public DiscoveryManager(RemoteCommandManager mgr)
Constructors to create a discvovery manager.


DiscoveryManager

public DiscoveryManager(java.lang.String address,
                        int port,
                        RemoteCommandManager mgr)

                        int port,
                        int delay,
                        RemoteCommandManager mgr)
Method Detail

startDiscovery

public void startDiscovery()
ADVANCED: Announce the local service and join the cluster


stopDiscovery

public void stopDiscovery()
ADVANCED: Stop accepting announcements from other services becoming available. Note that this does not remove the local service from the cluster.


isDiscoveryStopped

public boolean isDiscoveryStopped()
ADVANCED: Return true if discovery has been stopped at the time this method is called. If false is returned then it is undefined whether discovery is started or stopped. It may be started, or it may be in the process of starting or stopping.


setAnnouncementDelay

public void setAnnouncementDelay(int millisecondsToDelay)
Set the amount of time in millis that the service should wait between the time that this Remote Service is available and a session announcement is sent out to other discovery managers. This may be needed to give some systems more time to post their connections into the naming service. Takes effect the next time listening is started.


getAnnouncementDelay

public int getAnnouncementDelay()
Return the amount of time in millis that the service should wait between the time that this Remote Service is available and a session announcement is sent out to other discovery managers.


getMulticastGroupAddress

public java.lang.String getMulticastGroupAddress()
Return the host adddress of the multicast group.


setMulticastGroupAddress

public void setMulticastGroupAddress(java.lang.String address)
Set the host adddress of the multicast group. Takes effect the next time listening is started.


setMulticastPort

public void setMulticastPort(int port)
Set the multicast port used for discovery. Takes effect the next time listening is started.


getMulticastPort

public int getMulticastPort()
Return the multicast port used for discovery.


getPacketTimeToLive

public int getPacketTimeToLive()
Returns the number of hops the data packets of the session annoucemnt will take before expiring. The default is 2, a hub and an interface card to prevent the data packets from leaving the localnetwork.


setPacketTimeToLive

public void setPacketTimeToLive(int newPacketTimeToLive)
Set the number of hops the data packets of the session annoucemnt will take before expiring. The default is 2, a hub and an interface card to prevent the data packets from leaving the localnetwork. Note that if sessions are hosted on different LANs that are part of WAN, the annoucment sending by one session may not reach other sessions. In this case, consult your network administrator for the right time-to-live value or test your network by increase the value until sessions receive announcement sent by others.
