                                 Session session)

ADVANCED: Creates an AbstractClusteringService

Parameters:

multicastAddress - The address of the multicast group

multicastPort - The port the multicast group is listening on

Method Detail

registerDispatcher

public abstract void registerDispatcher()

ADVANCED: This method will register the dispatcher for this session in JNDI on the specified host. It must register the dispatcher under the SessionId

Parameters:

jndiHostURL - This is the URL that will be used to register the synchronization service

createRemoteConnection

public abstract oracle.toplink.internal.remote.RemoteConnection createRemoteConnection(java.lang.String sessionId,
                                                                                       java.lang.String jndiHostURL)

ADVANCED: This method should return a remote connection of the appropraite type for use in the synchronizatio

setMulticastPort

public void setMulticastPort(int port)

PUBLIC: Use this method to set the Multicast Port that this system will use to communicate

Parameters:

port - This is the port that the multicast socket will listen on

getMulticastPort

public int getMulticastPort()

PUBLIC: Return the port that the Service will be using for the multicast socket

Returns:

the port that the multicast socket will listen on

setTimeToLive

public void setTimeToLive(int timeToLive)

PUBLIC: Use this method to set the number of hops that the Data packet will make until expiring.

Parameters:

timeToLive -

getTimeToLive

public int getTimeToLive()

PUBLIC: Returns the number of hops the data packet will take before expiring

getCommunicationSocket
