Interface LeaseContext<T>

All Superinterfaces:

Lease

All Known Implementing Classes:

LeaseProxy

public interface LeaseContext<T>
extends Lease

LeaseContext is a return-value encapsulation of a write operation.

Using either IPojoSpace.write(Object, net.jini.core.transaction.Transaction, long) or IPojoSpace.write(Object, net.jini.core.transaction.Transaction, long, long, int) with the Modifiers#UPDATE_OR_WRITE returns a LeaseContext according to UPDATE-OR-WRITE semantics. The update-or-write operation is atomic - either a write or an update is performed.

LeaseContext's getObject() returns:

• null, on a successful write
• previous value, on successful update

 //first write
 LeaseContext lease = space.write((Object)o, null, 1000);
 lease.getUID(); //returns UID of written object
 lease.getOriginalObject(); //returns null on first write
 lease.renew(Lease.FOREVER);
 
 //second write - equivalent to update
 lease = space.write((Object)o, null, 1000);
 lease.getUID(); //returns UID of object
 lease.getOriginalObject(); //returns previous value (i.e. of previous write)
 try{
   lease.renew(Lease.FOREVER); 
 }catch(UnsupportedOperationException e) {
  //not a real lease - constructed by update.
 }
