Interface implemented by classes which encode multicast request data according to discovery protocol formats.

Since:
2.0
Author:

Method Summary
 void encodeMulticastRequest(MulticastRequest request, DatagramBufferFactory bufs, InvocationConstraints constraints)
          Encodes the given multicast request data into byte buffers obtained from the provided datagram buffer factory, in a manner that satisfies the specified absolute constraints.

Method Detail

encodeMulticastRequest

void encodeMulticastRequest(MulticastRequest request,
                            DatagramBufferFactory bufs,
                            InvocationConstraints constraints)
                            throws IOException
Encodes the given multicast request data into byte buffers obtained from the provided datagram buffer factory, in a manner that satisfies the specified absolute constraints. null constraints are considered equivalent to empty constraints. Multicast request data that is too large to fit in a single datagram buffer is split across multiple buffers, with the constraints applied to each; this method is responsible for determining if and when to split the data based on the available space in the obtained buffers.

Parameters:
request - the request data to encode
bufs - the factory for producing buffers in which to write encoded data
constraints - the constraints to apply when encoding the data, or null
Throws:
IOException - if an error occurs in encoding the data to send
UnsupportedConstraintException - if unable to satisfy the specified constraints
SecurityException - if the given constraints cannot be satisfied due to insufficient caller permissions
NullPointerException - if request or bufs is null Throws IOException if an error occurs in encoding the data to send. Throws UnsupportedConstraintException if unable to satisfy the specified constraints. Throws SecurityException if the given constraints cannot be satisfied due to insufficient caller permissions.
