Method Detail

addNamingListener

public void addNamingListener(Name target,
                              int scope,
                              RemoteContextListenerInterface l)
                       throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Adds a listener for receiving naming events fired when the object(s) identified by a target and scope changes. The event source of those events is this context. See the class description for a discussion on event source and target. See the descriptions of the constants OBJECT_SCOPE, ONELEVEL_SCOPE, and SUBTREE_SCOPE to see how scope affects the registration.

target needs to name a context only when scope is ONELEVEL_SCOPE.target may name a non-context if scope is either OBJECT_SCOPE or SUBTREE_SCOPE. Using SUBTREE_SCOPE for a non-context might be useful, for example, if the caller does not know in advance whether target is a context and just wants to register interest in the (possibly degenerate subtree) rooted at target.

When the listener is notified of an event, the listener may in invoked in a thread other than the one in which addNamingListener() is executed. Care must be taken when multiple threads are accessing the same EventContext concurrently. See the package description for more information on threading issues.

Specified by:
addNamingListener in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
target - A nonnull name to be resolved relative to this context.
scope - One of OBJECT_SCOPE,ONELEVEL_SCOPE, or SUBTREE_SCOPE.
l - The nonnull listener.
Throws:
NamingException - If a problem was encountered while adding the listener.
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.addNamingListener(javax.naming.Name, int, nl.tudelft.simulation.naming.listener.RemoteContextListenerInterface)

addNamingListener

public void addNamingListener(String target,
                              int scope,
                              RemoteContextListenerInterface l)
                       throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Adds a listener for receiving naming events fired when the object named by the string target name and scope changes. See the overload that accepts a Name for details.

Specified by:
addNamingListener in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
target - The nonnull string name of the object resolved relative to this context.
scope - One of OBJECT_SCOPE,ONELEVEL_SCOPE, or SUBTREE_SCOPE.
l - The nonnull listener.
Throws:
NamingException - If a problem was encountered while adding the listener.

RemoteContextInterface.addNamingListener(java.lang.String, int, nl.tudelft.simulation.naming.listener.RemoteContextListenerInterface)

removeNamingListener

public void removeNamingListener(RemoteContextListenerInterface l)
                          throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Removes a listener from receiving naming events fired by this EventContext. The listener may have registered more than once with this EventContext, perhaps with different target/scope arguments. After this method is invoked, the listener will no longer receive events with this EventContext instance as the event source (except for those events already in the process of being dispatched). If the listener was not, or is no longer, registered with this EventContext instance, this method does not do anything.

Specified by:
removeNamingListener in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
l - The nonnull listener.
Throws:
NamingException - If a problem was encountered while removing the listener.
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.removeNamingListener(nl.tudelft.simulation.naming.listener.RemoteContextListenerInterface)

true if the target must exist; false if the target need not exist.
Throws:
NamingException - If the context's behavior in this regard cannot be determined.
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.targetMustExist()

destroySubcontext

public void destroySubcontext(Name name)
                       throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Destroys the named context and removes it from the namespace. Any attributes associated with the name are also removed. Intermediate contexts are not destroyed.

This method is idempotent. It succeeds even if the terminal atomic name is not bound in the target context, but throws NameNotFoundException if any of the intermediate contexts do not exist.

In a federated naming system, a context from one naming system may be bound to a name in another. One can subsequently look up and perform operations on the foreign context using a composite name. However, an attempt destroy the context using this composite name will fail with NotContextException, because the foreign context is not a "subcontext" of the context in which it is bound. Instead, use unbind() to remove the binding of the foreign context. Destroying the foreign context requires that the destroySubcontext() be performed on a context from the foreign context's "native" naming system.

Specified by:
destroySubcontext in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
name - the name of the context to be destroyed; may not be empty
Throws:
NameNotFoundException - if an intermediate context does not exist
NotContextException - if the name is bound but does not name a context, or does not name a context of the appropriate type
ContextNotEmptyException - if the named context is not empty
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.destroySubcontext(javax.naming.Name)

public NameParser getNameParser(Name name)
                         throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Retrieves the parser associated with the named context. In a federation of namespaces, different naming systems will parse names differently. This method allows an application to get a parser for parsing names into their atomic components using the naming convention of a particular naming system. Within any single naming system, NameParser objects returned by this method must be equal (using the equals() test).

Specified by:
getNameParser in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
name - the name of the context from which to get the parser
Returns:
a name parser that can parse compound names into their atomic components
Throws:
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.getNameParser(javax.naming.Name)

getNameParser

public NameParser getNameParser(String name)
                         throws NamingException

Specified by:
getNameParser in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
name - the name of the context from which to get the parser
Returns:
a name parser that can parse compound names into their atomic components
Throws:
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:

composeName

public Name composeName(Name name,
                        Name prefix)
                 throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Composes the name of this context with a name relative to this context. Given a name (name) relative to this context, and the name (prefix) of this context relative to one of its ancestors, this method returns the composition of the two names using the syntax appropriate for the naming system(s) involved. That is, if name names an object relative to this context, the result is the name of the same object, but relative to the ancestor context. None of the names may be null.

For example, if this context is named "wiz.com" relative to the initial context, then

 composeName("east", "wiz.com")
 
might return "east.wiz.com". If instead this context is named "org/research", then
 composeName("user/jane", "org/research")
 
might return "org/research/user/jane" while
 composeName("user/jane", "research")
 
returns "research/user/jane".

Specified by:
composeName in interface RemoteContextInterface
Parameters:
name - a name relative to this context
prefix - the name of this context relative to one of its ancestors

                         throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Retrieves the environment in effect for this context. See class description for more details on environment properties.

The caller should not make any changes to the object returned: their effect on the context is undefined. The environment of this context may be changed using addToEnvironment() and removeFromEnvironment().

Specified by:
getEnvironment in interface RemoteContextInterface
Returns:
the environment of this context; never null
Throws:
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.getEnvironment()

close

public void close()
           throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Closes this context. This method releases this context's resources immediately, instead of waiting for them to be released automatically by the garbage collector.

This method is idempotent: invoking it on a context that has already been closed has no effect. Invoking any other method on a closed context is not allowed, and results in undefined behaviour.

Specified by:
close in interface RemoteContextInterface
Throws:
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.close()

getNameInNamespace

public String getNameInNamespace()
                          throws NamingException
Description copied from interface: RemoteContextInterface
Retrieves the full name of this context within its own namespace.

Many naming services have a notion of a "full name" for objects in their respective namespaces. For example, an LDAP entry has a distinguished name, and a DNS record has a fully qualified name. This method allows the client application to retrieve this name. The string returned by this method is not a JNDI composite name and should not be passed directly to context methods. In naming systems for which the notion of full name does not make sense, OperationNotSupportedException is thrown.

Specified by:
getNameInNamespace in interface RemoteContextInterface
Returns:
this context's name in its own namespace; never null
Throws:
OperationNotSupportedException - if the naming system does not have the notion of a full name
NamingException - if a naming exception is encountered
See Also:
RemoteContextInterface.getNameInNamespace()
