All Implemented Interfaces:

public abstract class AbstractRemoteParameter
extends AbstractParameter
implements RemoteParameter

A skeleton implementation of a RemoteParameter. This class takes care of proper binding of the parameter to the registry and diverts the remoteGet() method to the Parameter.get() method. Provides also a static method for binding non-subclasses of abstract remote parameter to the registry.

Constant Field Values

DEFBIND

protected static final boolean DEFBIND

stubs

private List<RmiListener> stubs

A list of registered rmi listners.

Constructor Detail

AbstractRemoteParameter

protected AbstractRemoteParameter(Map<String,String> prop)

Constructs a new remote parameter. Sets the binding properties. Binding is done in the #bind method, which is called only in the init() section.

Method Detail

init

public void init()
          throws InitException

Binds this trigger to the registry.

Specified by:

init in interface Initializable

Overrides:

init in class AbstractParameter

Throws:

InitException

exit

public void exit()

Unbinds from registry, if bound.

Specified by:

exit in interface ExitCleaning

Overrides:

exit in class AbstractParameter

rescanned

protected double rescanned(String key,
                           String old,
                           String newval)

If the bind property changed, we deregister from our current binding and re-instantiate a new binding thread.

Overrides:

rescanned in class AbstractParameter

bindToRegistry

public boolean bindToRegistry()
                       throws RemoteException

Binds to registry.

Specified by:

bindToRegistry in interface RmiCaster

Throws:

RemoteException

unbindFromRegistry

public boolean unbindFromRegistry()
                           throws RemoteException

Unbinds from registry.

Specified by:

unbindFromRegistry in interface RmiCaster

Throws:

RemoteException

remoteGet

public Object remoteGet()
                 throws RemoteException

The remote edge of this trigger.

Specified by:

remoteGet in interface RemoteParameter

Throws:

RemoteException

addRmiListener

public void addRmiListener(RmiListener ear)
                    throws RemoteException

Adds a listener for notification on exit.

Specified by:

addRmiListener in interface RemoteParameter

Throws:

RemoteException

removeRmiListener

public void removeRmiListener(RmiListener ear)
                       throws RemoteException

Removes a listener.

Specified by:

removeRmiListener in interface RemoteParameter

Throws:

RemoteException

isValid

public boolean isValid()
                throws RemoteException

Returns true.

Specified by:

isValid in interface RmiCaster

Throws:

RemoteException
