public interface JavaSpace05 extends JavaSpace
JavaSpace05 interface extends the JavaSpace interface to provide methods that allow clients to
perform batch operations on the space (which are generally more
efficient than performing an equivalent set of singleton
operations) and to more easily develop applications where a
given Entry needs to be read by multiple clients.
Implementations of the JavaSpace interface are not
required to implement this interface.
Unless otherwise noted, the effects of any invocation of a
method defined by this interface must be visible to any
operation on the space that is started after the invocation
returns normally. Note, the effects of a method invocation that
throws a RemoteException are not necessarily visible
when the exception is thrown.
All of the methods of this interface take one or more Collections as arguments. Each such Collection
must be treated as immutable by implementations and must not be
changed by the client during the course of any method
invocation to which they have been passed.
This interface is not a remote interface. Each implementation of
this interface exports a proxy object that implements this
interface local to the client. Each method of the interface
takes as one of its arguments a Collection of
Entry instances. The entries themselves must be
serialized in accordance with the Jini(TM) Entry
Specification and will not be altered by the
call. Typically, the Collection holding the entries
will not be serialized at all. If one of these entries can't be
serialized, a MarshalException will be thrown. Aside
from the handling of these Collection of
Entry parameters, all methods defined by this
interface otherwise obey normal Java(TM) Remote Method
Invocation remote interface semantics.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
MatchSet |
contents(Collection tmpls,
Transaction txn,
long leaseDuration,
long maxEntries)
Creates a match set that can be used to
exhaustively read through all of the matching entries in
the space that are visible to the passed
Transaction and remain visible for the lifetime of the
match set. |
EventRegistration |
registerForAvailabilityEvent(Collection tmpls,
Transaction txn,
boolean visibilityOnly,
RemoteEventListener listener,
long leaseDuration,
MarshalledObject handback)
Register for events triggered when a matching
Entry
transitions from unavailable to available. |
Collection |
take(Collection tmpls,
Transaction txn,
long timeout,
long maxEntries)
This method provides an overload of the
JavaSpace.take method that attempts to
remove, optionally under a Transaction, and return
one or more entries from the space. |
List |
write(List entries,
Transaction txn,
List leaseDurations)
This method provides an overload of the
JavaSpace.write method that allows new
copies of multiple Entry instances to be stored in
the space using a single call. |
notify, read, readIfExists, snapshot, take, takeIfExists, writeList write(List entries, Transaction txn, List leaseDurations) throws TransactionException, RemoteException
JavaSpace.write method that allows new
copies of multiple Entry instances to be stored in
the space using a single call. The client may specify a
Transaction for the operation to be performed
under. Each Entry to be stored in the space
has a separate requested initial lease duration.
The effect on the space of an invocation of this method
successfully storing an Entry is the same as if
the Entry had been successfully stored by a
call to the singleton form of write under
txn with the given requested initial lease
duration. This method returns the proxies to the leases for
each newly stored Entry by returning a List of Lease instances. The i th element
of the returned List will be a proxy for the
lease on the Entry created from the i
th element of entries.
If an invocation of this method returns normally, then a new
copy of each element of entries must have been
stored in the space. A new copy of each element will be
stored even if there are duplicates (either in terms of
object identity or of entry equivalence) in
entries.
The order in which the entries stored by an invocation of this method will become visible in the space is unspecified, and different observers may see the entries become visible in different orders.
If a TransactionException, SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, or
NullPointerException is thrown, no entries will
have been added to the space by this operation. If a RemoteException is thrown, either new copies of all of the
elements of entries will have been stored or
no entries will have been stored; that is, in the case of a
RemoteException, the storing of new entries in
the space will either fail or succeed as a unit.

JavaSpace.take method that attempts to
remove, optionally under a Transaction, and return
one or more entries from the space. Each Entry
taken will match one or more elements of the passed Collection of templates, and all of the taken entries will
be visible to the passed Transaction. If there
are initially no matches in the space that are visible to
the passed Transaction, an invocation of this
method will block for up to a specified timeout for one or
more matches to appear.
The effect on the space of an invocation of this method
successfully taking an Entry will be the same
as if the Entry had been taken using the
singleton version of this method and passing
txn as the Transaction.
The tmpls parameter must be a
Collection of Entry instances to
be used as templates. All of the entries taken must match
one or more of these templates. The tmpls
parameter may contain null values and may
contain duplicates. An Entry is said to be
available to an invocation of this method if the
Entry could have been returned by an
invocation of the singleton take method using
txn.
If the method succeeds, a non-null
Collection will be returned. The
Collection will contain a copy of each
Entry that was taken. If no entries were taken,
the Collection will be empty. Each
Entry taken will be represented by a distinct
Entry instance in the returned
Collection, even if some of the entries are
equivalent to others taken by the operation. There will be
no null elements in the returned
Collection.
If one or more of the entries taken cannot be unmarshalled
in the client, an UnusableEntriesException is
thrown. The exception's UnusableEntriesException.getEntries method will return a
Collection with a copy of each
Entry that could be unmarshalled. The UnusableEntriesException.getUnusableEntryExceptions method
will return a Collection with an UnusableEntryException for each Entry that
could not be unmarshalled. Every Entry taken
by the invocation will either be represented in the
Collection returned by getEntries
or in the Collection returned by
getUnusableEntryExceptions.
If there is at least one matching Entry
available in the space, an invocation of this method must
take at least one Entry. If more than one
matching Entry is available, the invocation may
take additional entries. It must not take more than
maxEntries, but an implementation may chose to
take fewer entries from the space than the maximum available or
the maximum allowed by maxEntries. If for
whatever reason, an invocation of this method takes fewer
entries than the maximum number of available matching
entries, how an implementation selects which entries should be
taken by the invocation and which are left in the space is
unspecified. How consumption of entries is arbitrated
between conflicting queries is also unspecified.
If there are initially no matching entries in the space, an
invocation of this method should block for up to
timeout milliseconds for a match to appear. If
one or more matches become available before
timeout expires, one or more of the newly
available entries should be taken and the method should
return without further blocking. If for some reason the
invocation can't block for the full timeout and no entries
have been taken, the invocation must fail with a RemoteException or TransactionException as
appropriate.
If an invocation of this method removes (or locks) more than
one Entry, the order in which the removal (or
locking) occurs is undefined, and different observers may see
the removal or locking of the entries in different
orders.
If a TransactionException, SecurityException, IllegalArgumentException, or
NullPointerException is thrown, no entries will
have been taken. If a RemoteException is
thrown, up to maxEntries may have been taken
by this operation.

Transaction and remain visible for the lifetime of the
match set. May also yield additional entries that match but
are only visible for part of the lifetime of the match
set.
The tmpls parameter must be a Collection of Entry instances to be used as
templates. All of the entries placed in the match set will
match one or more of these templates. tmpls may
contain null values and may contain
duplicates. An Entry is said to be
visible to an invocation of this method if the
Entry could have been returned by a singleton
JavaSpace.read using the same
transaction.
The resulting match set must initially contain all of the
visible matching entries in the space. During the lifetime
of the match set an Entry may be, but is not
required to be, added to the match set if it becomes
visible. If the match set becomes empty, no more entries can
be added and the match set enters the exhausted state.
Normally there are three conditions under which an
Entry might be removed from the match set:
Entry yielded by an invocation of the
MatchSet.next method on the match
set (either as the return value of a successful call or
embedded in an UnusableEntryException) must be
removed from the match set.
Entry that remains in the match set
after maxEntries entries are yielded by
next invocations must be removed from the
match set. In such a case, the criteria used to select which
entries are yielded by next calls and which
get removed from the set at the end is unspecified.
Entry that during the lifetime of the
match set becomes invisible may at the discretion of the
implementation be removed from the match set.
An implementation may decide to remove an Entry
from the set for other reasons. If it does so, however, it
must invalidate the set.
If txn is non-null and still
active, any Entry removed from the match set by
a next call must be locked as if it had been
returned by a read operation using txn. An
implementation may establish the read lock on the
Entry any time between when the
Entry is added to the match set and when the
Entry is removed from the match set by an
invocation of next. These read locks are not
released when the match set reaches either the exhausted
state or the invalidated state. If from the space's
perspective the txn leaves the active state,
the space must remove from the match set any entries in the
match set that have not yet been read locked. This may
require the match set to be invalidated.
If the match set is leased and leaseDuration
is positive, the initial duration of the lease must be less
than or equal to leaseDuration. If
leaseDuration is Lease.ANY,
the initial duration of the lease can be any positive value
desired by the implementation.
If there are remote
method constraints associated with an invocation of this
method, any remote communications performed by or on behalf
of the match set's next method will be
performed in compliance with these constraints, not with the
constraints (if any) associated with next.

Entry
transitions from unavailable to available. The resulting
events will be instances of the AvailabilityEvent
class and the AvailabilityEvent.getEntry method will return a copy of
the Entry whose transition triggered the
event.
An Entry makes a transition from
unavailable to available when it goes from being in
a state where it could not be returned by a JavaSpace.take using txn to a
state where it could be returned. An Entry
makes a transition from invisible to visible when
it goes from being in a state where it could not be returned
by a JavaSpace.read using
txn to a state where it could be
returned. Note, any transition from invisible to visible is
also a transition from unavailable to available, but an
already visible entry can be unavailable and then make a
transition from unavailable to available. Because the entry
was already visible, this transition would not be a
transition from invisible to visible.
The tmpls parameter must be a Collection of Entry instances to be used as
templates. Events will be generated when an
Entry that matches one or more of these
templates makes an appropriate transition. A single
transition will generate only one event per registration, in
particular the transition of an Entry that
matches multiple elements of tmpls must still
generate exactly one event for this registration. If a given
Entry undergoes multiple applicable transitions
while the registration is active, each must generate a
separate event.
Events are not generated directly by the transition of matching entries, but instead by an abstract observer set up in the space for each registration. The observer may see the transitions out of order and as a result the order of the events generated for this registration (as determined by the sequence numbers assigned to the events) may be different from the order of the transitions themselves. Additionally, each registration will have its own abstract observer and different observers may see the same sequence of transitions in different orders. As a result, given a set of transitions that trigger events for two different registrations, the order of the events generated for one registration may differ from the order of the events generated for the other.
A non-null EventRegistration object
will be returned. Each registration will be assigned an
event ID. The event ID will be unique at least with respect
to all other active event registrations for
AvailabilityEvents on this space with a
non-equivalent set of templates, a different transaction,
and/or a different value for the
visibilityOnly flag. The event ID can be
obtained by calling the EventRegistration.getID method on the returned
EventRegistration. The returned
EventRegistration object's EventRegistration.getSource
method will return a reference to the space.
Registrations are leased. leaseDurations
represents the client's desired initial lease duration. If
leaseDuration is positive, the initial lease
duration will be a positive value less than or equal to
leaseDuration. If leaseDuration is
Lease.ANY, the space is free to pick any
positive initial lease duration it desires. A proxy for the
lease associated with the registration can be obtained by
calling the returned EventRegistration's EventRegistration.getLease
method.
A registration made with a non-null value for
txn is implicitly dropped when the space
observes txn has left the active state.
