Method Detail

getBindingInfo

SelfDescribedBindingTypeInfo getBindingInfo(Ref ref)
                                            throws TransportException

Return service binding description for a service with a given ref

Throws:

TransportException

getUIBinding

SelfDescribedTransportUIBinding getUIBinding(TransportUIContext context)
                                             throws TransportException

Called at service definition time to get the provider-specific binding object that validates provider-specific properties are present in the UI context. The user interface will pass in a brand new instance of TransportUIContext object for every time the user navigates the wizard. A typical pattern for the provider is create a new instance of the TransportUIBinding object and save the reference to the context and refer to it as needed.

Specified by:

getUIBinding in interface TransportProvider

Parameters:

context - context for UI binding. Providers can use this to extract locale, proxy information, etc.

Returns:

UI binding object that is used by ALSB console to refer provider-specific parts of the service configuration wizard

Throws:

TransportException
