Class Delegate

java.lang.Object
- org.omg.CORBA.portable.Delegate

Direct Known Subclasses:: Delegate

public abstract class Delegate
extends Object

Specifies a portable API for ORB-vendor-specific implementation of the org.omg.CORBA.Object methods. Each stub (proxy) contains a delegate object, to which all org.omg.CORBA.Object methods are forwarded. This allows a stub generated by one vendor's ORB to work with the delegate from another vendor's ORB.

get_policy

public Policy get_policy(Object self,
                         int policy_type)

Returns the Policy object of the specified type which applies to this object.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; policy_type - The type of policy to be obtained.
Returns:: A Policy object of the type specified by the policy_type parameter.

See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

get_domain_managers

public DomainManager[] get_domain_managers(Object self)

Retrieves the DomainManagers of this object. This allows administration services (and applications) to retrieve the domain managers, and hence the security and other policies applicable to individual objects that are members of the domain.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
Returns:: The list of immediately enclosing domain managers of this object. At least one domain manager is always returned in the list since by default each object is associated with at least one domain manager at creation.
See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

set_policy_override

public Object set_policy_override(Object self,
                                  Policy[] policies,
                                  SetOverrideType set_add)

Associates the policies passed in with a newly created object reference that it returns. Only certain policies that pertain to the invocation of an operation at the client end can be overridden using this operation. Attempts to override any other policy will result in the raising of the CORBA::NO_PERMISSION exception.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; policies - A sequence of references to Policy objects.; set_add - Indicates whether these policies should be added onto any otheroverrides that already exist (ADD_OVERRIDE) in the object reference, or they should be added to a clean override free object reference (SET_OVERRIDE).
Returns:: A new object reference with the new policies associated with it.
See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

is_local

public boolean is_local(Object self)

Returns true if this object is implemented by a local servant.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.
Returns:: true only if the servant incarnating this object is located in this Java VM. Return false if the servant is not local or the ORB does not support local stubs for this particular servant. The default behavior of is_local() is to return false.

servant_preinvoke

public ServantObject servant_preinvoke(Object self,
                                       String operation,
                                       Class expectedType)

Returns a Java reference to the servant which should be used for this request. servant_preinvoke() is invoked by a local stub. If a ServantObject object is returned, then its servant field has been set to an object of the expected type (Note: the object may or may not be the actual servant instance). The local stub may cast the servant field to the expected type, and then invoke the operation directly. The ServantRequest object is valid for only one invocation, and cannot be used for more than one invocation.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; operation - a string containing the operation name. The operation name corresponds to the operation name as it would be encoded in a GIOP request.; expectedType - a Class object representing the expected type of the servant. The expected type is the Class object associated with the operations class of the stub's interface (e.g. A stub for an interface Foo, would pass the Class object for the FooOperations interface).
Returns:: a ServantObject object. The method may return a null value if it does not wish to support this optimization (e.g. due to security, transactions, etc). The method must return null if the servant is not of the expected type.

servant_postinvoke

public void servant_postinvoke(Object self,
                               ServantObject servant)

servant_postinvoke() is invoked by the local stub after the operation has been invoked on the local servant. This method must be called if servant_preinvoke() returned a non-null value, even if an exception was thrown by the servant's method. For this reason, the call to servant_postinvoke() should be placed in a Java finally clause.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; servant - the instance of the ServantObject returned from the servant_preinvoke() method.

request

public OutputStream request(Object self,
                            String operation,
                            boolean responseExpected)

request is called by a stub to obtain an OutputStream for marshaling arguments. The stub must supply the operation name, and indicate if a response is expected (i.e is this a oneway call).

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; operation - a string containing the operation name. The operation name corresponds to the operation name as it would be encoded in a GIOP request.; responseExpected - false if the operation is a one way operation, and true otherwise.
Returns:: OutputStream the OutputStream into which request arguments can be marshaled.
See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

invoke

public InputStream invoke(Object self,
                          OutputStream output)
                   throws ApplicationException,
                          RemarshalException

invoke is called by a stub to invoke an operation. The stub provides an OutputStream that was previously returned by a request() call. invoke returns an InputStream which contains the marshaled reply. If an exception occurs, invoke may throw an ApplicationException object which contains an InputStream from which the user exception state may be unmarshaled.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; output - the OutputStream which contains marshaled arguments
Returns:: input the InputStream from which reply parameters can be unmarshaled.
Throws:: ApplicationException - thrown when implementation throws (upon invocation) an exception defined as part of its remote method definition.; RemarshalException - thrown when remarshalling fails.
See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

releaseReply

public void releaseReply(Object self,
                         InputStream input)

releaseReply may optionally be called by a stub to release a reply stream back to the ORB when the unmarshaling has completed. The stub passes the InputStream returned by invoke() or ApplicationException.getInputStream(). A null value may also be passed to releaseReply, in which case the method is a noop.

Parameters:: self - The object reference which delegated to this delegate.; input - the InputStream returned from invoke().
See Also:: portable package comments for unimplemented features

toString

public String toString(Object self)

Provides the implementation to override the toString() method of the delegating CORBA object.

Parameters:: self - the object reference that delegated to this delegate
Returns:: a String object that represents the object reference that delegated to this Delegate object

hashCode

public int hashCode(Object self)

Provides the implementation to override the hashCode() method of the delegating CORBA object.

Parameters:: self - the object reference that delegated to this delegate
Returns:: an int that represents the hashcode for the object reference that delegated to this Delegate object

equals

public boolean equals(Object self,
                      Object obj)

Provides the implementation to override the equals(java.lang.Object obj) method of the delegating CORBA object.

Parameters:: self - the object reference that delegated to this delegate; obj - the Object with which to compare
Returns:: true if obj equals self; false otherwise
