Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	checkUnicastDiscoveryConstraints(InvocationConstraints constraints) Checks and returns normally if this client is capable of fulfilling the given absolute constraints.
UnicastResponse	doUnicastDiscovery(Socket socket, InvocationConstraints constraints, ClassLoader defaultLoader, ClassLoader verifierLoader, Collection context, ByteBuffer sent, ByteBuffer received) Performs the client side of unicast discovery, obtaining the returned response data over the provided socket using the given default and codebase verifier class loaders and collection of object stream context objects in a manner that satisfies the specified absolute constraints.

Method Detail

checkUnicastDiscoveryConstraints

void checkUnicastDiscoveryConstraints(InvocationConstraints constraints)
                               throws UnsupportedConstraintException

Checks and returns normally if this client is capable of fulfilling the given absolute constraints. null constraints are considered equivalent to empty constraints.

Parameters:

constraints - the constraints to check, or null

Throws:

UnsupportedConstraintException - if unable to satisfy the specified constraints

SecurityException - if the given constraints cannot be satisfied due to insufficient caller permissions

doUnicastDiscovery

UnicastResponse doUnicastDiscovery(Socket socket,
                                   InvocationConstraints constraints,
                                   ClassLoader defaultLoader,
                                   ClassLoader verifierLoader,
                                   Collection context,
                                   ByteBuffer sent,
                                   ByteBuffer received)
                            throws IOException,
                                   ClassNotFoundException

Performs the client side of unicast discovery, obtaining the returned response data over the provided socket using the given default and codebase verifier class loaders and collection of object stream context objects in a manner that satisfies the specified absolute constraints. Byte buffers containing the data sent and received so far over the given socket (for the unicast discovery protocol 2 handshake) are provided for use by formats which integrity protect or otherwise incorporate the handshake data. null constraints are considered equivalent to empty constraints.

Parameters:

socket - the socket on which to perform unicast discovery

constraints - the constraints to apply to unicast discovery, or null

defaultLoader - the class loader value (possibly null) to be passed as the defaultLoader argument to RMIClassLoader methods when unmarshalling the registrar proxy

verifierLoader - the class loader value (possibly null) to pass to Security.verifyCodebaseIntegrity, if codebase integrity verification is used when unmarshalling the registrar proxy

context - the collection of context information objects (possibly null) to use when unmarshalling the registrar proxy

sent - a buffer containing the data already sent

received - a buffer containing the data already received

Returns:

the received unicast response data

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurs in interpreting received data or in formatting data to send

UnsupportedConstraintException - if unable to satisfy the specified constraints

SecurityException - if the given constraints cannot be satisfied due to insufficient caller permissions

ClassNotFoundException - if the class of the discovered registrar cannot be resolved

NullPointerException - if socket, sent, or received is null
