Class RemoteCommandManager

java.lang.Object
oracle.toplink.remotecommand.RemoteCommandManager

All Implemented Interfaces:

CommandManager

public class RemoteCommandManager

extends java.lang.Object

implements CommandManager

Purpose: Provide a CommandManager implementation that will be used by both TopLink and non-TopLink applications.

Description: A RemoteCommandManager (or RCM) instance is the primary component of an RCM service instance. It manages the other components of the service, and directs the overall service operation. Its ServiceId uniquely distinguishes it from other service instances in the cluster.

Each RCM has a logical channel to which it subscribes and publishes. This channel determines which other instances in the cluster the service instance sends and receives remote commands to/from. All RCM's on the same channel should have the same discovery manager settings (be communicating on the same multicast) so that the discovery managers may be able to discover one another. RCM's on different channels may operate on the same or on different multicast groups.

An RCM instance knows about other instances in the cluster through its DiscoveryManager. Its TransportManager is repsonsible for setting up the connections to other instances once they are discovered.

An RCM is instructed to "propagate", or execute on all remote service instances in the cluster that subscribe to the same channel, a remote command by its CommandProcessor. Likewise, when an RCM receives a remote command to be executed then it passes the command off to the CommandProcessor for the processing of the command to occur. CommandProcessors pass commands to the RCM as an Object (in a format that may be specific to the application) and the RCM uses its CommandConverter to convert it to a TopLink Command object before sending the Command off to the cluster. Similarly, when a TopLink Command object is received then the RCM invokes its CommandConverter to convert the object into the application format that will be passed to the CommandProcessor to process the command.

shouldPropagateAsynchronously

public boolean shouldPropagateAsynchronously()

Return whether this command manager should propagate commands synchronously or asynchronously. If set to synchronous propagation then propagateCommand() will not return to the caller until the command has been executed on all of the services in the cluster. In asynchronous mode the command manager will create a separate thread for each of the remote service executions, and then promptly return to the caller.

Specified by:

shouldPropagateAsynchronously in interface CommandManager

setShouldPropagateAsynchronously

public void setShouldPropagateAsynchronously(boolean asyncMode)

ADVANCED: Set whether this command manager should propagate commands synchronously or asynchronously. If set to synchronous propagation then propagateCommand() will not return to the caller until the command has been executed on all of the services in the cluster. In asynchronous mode the command manager will create a separate thread for each of the remote service executions, and then promptly return to the caller.

Specified by:

setShouldPropagateAsynchronously in interface CommandManager

setShouldRemoveConnectionOnError

public void setShouldRemoveConnectionOnError(boolean shouldRemoveConnectionOnError)

Deprecated.

OBSOLETE: Set whether connections to remote services should be disconnected when an error occurs.

Specified by:

setShouldRemoveConnectionOnError in interface CommandManager

See Also:

#TransportManager.setShouldRemoveConnectionOnError(boolean shouldRemoveConnectionOnError)

shouldRemoveConnectionOnError

public boolean shouldRemoveConnectionOnError()

Deprecated.

OBSOLETE: Return whether connections to remote services should be disconnected when an error occurs.

Specified by:

shouldRemoveConnectionOnError in interface CommandManager

See Also:

#TransportManager.shouldRemoveConnectionOnError()

replaceLocalHostIPAddress

public void replaceLocalHostIPAddress(java.lang.String ipAddress)

ADVANCED: Allow user to replace the $HOST subString of the local host URL with the user user input at runtime. By default, TopLink will try to discovery the local host IP and may fail due to security or network restrictions. In this case, user can call this API to specify the IP address or host name during pre-login session event or before session login. Example: If input is 145.23.127.79, the local host URL of ormi://$HOST:2971:/app_name will become ormi://145.23.127.79:2971:/app_name

replaceTransportPortNumber

public void replaceTransportPortNumber(java.lang.String portNumber)

ADVANCED: Allow user to replace the $PORT subString of the local host URL with the user user input at runtime. In this case, user can call this API to specify the port number for a specific transport during pre-login session event or before session login. Example: If input is 7799, the local host URL of ormi://145.23.127.79:$PORT/app_name will become ormi://145.23.127.79:7799/app_name

setServerPlatform

public void setServerPlatform(ServerPlatform theServerPlatform)

The ServerPlatform must be set manually when the RemoteCommandManager'CommandProcessor is not TopLink Session. When the CommandProcessor is a TopLink Session, the ServerPlatform is automatically gotten from the Session.
