public interface DiscoveryAdmin

Methods for controlling which groups a lookup service is a member of, and for controlling which TCP port a lookup service uses for its lookup locator. Lookup services that implement the Administrable interface should return an admin object that implements this interface.

Method Summary
 void addMemberGroups(String[] groups)
          Adds the given set of names to the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member.
 String[] getMemberGroups()
          Returns an array consisting of the names of the groups in which the lookup service is a member.
 int getUnicastPort()
          Returns the port number on which the lookup service listens for unicast discovery queries.
 void removeMemberGroups(String[] groups)
          Deletes the elements of the given set of names from the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member.
 void setMemberGroups(String[] groups)
          Replaces the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member with the given set of group names.
 void setUnicastPort(int port)
          Changes the number of the port on which the lookup service is currently listening for unicast discovery queries to the given port number.
 

Method Detail

getMemberGroups

String[] getMemberGroups()
                         throws RemoteException
Returns an array consisting of the names of the groups in which the lookup service is a member. If the lookup service currently belongs to no groups, this method will return the empty array.

Returns:
String array consisting of the names of the groups in which the lookup service is a member
Throws:
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.

addMemberGroups

void addMemberGroups(String[] groups)
                     throws RemoteException
Adds the given set of names to the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member. Elements in the input set that duplicate names of groups in which the lookup service is already a member will be ignored. If the empty array (NO_GROUPS) is input, this method takes no action.

Parameters:
groups - String array consisting of the names of the new, additional groups in which the lookup service is to be a member.
Throws:
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.
NullPointerException - this exception occurs when either null is input to the groups parameter, or one or more of the elements of the groups parameter is null.

removeMemberGroups

void removeMemberGroups(String[] groups)
                        throws RemoteException
Deletes the elements of the given set of names from the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member. Any element in the input set that is not a name of a group in which the lookup service is currently a member will be ignored. If the empty array (NO_GROUPS) is input, this method takes no action.

Parameters:
groups - String array consisting of the names to remove from the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member.
Throws:
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.
NullPointerException - this exception occurs when either null is input to the groups parameter, or one or more of the elements of the groups parameter is null.

setMemberGroups

void setMemberGroups(String[] groups)
                     throws RemoteException
Replaces the set whose elements are the names of the groups in which the lookup service is currently a member with the given set of group names. Elements in the input set that duplicate other elements in the input set will be ignored. If the empty array (NO_GROUPS) is input, then the lookup service will be a member of no groups.

Parameters:
groups - String array consisting of the names of the new groups in which the lookup service is to be a member.
Throws:
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.
NullPointerException - this exception occurs when either null is input to the groups parameter, or one or more of the elements of the groups parameter is null.

getUnicastPort

int getUnicastPort()
                   throws RemoteException
Returns the port number on which the lookup service listens for unicast discovery queries.

Returns:
an int representing the port number on which the lookup service listens for unicast discovery queries.
Throws:
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.

setUnicastPort

void setUnicastPort(int port)
                    throws IOException,
                           RemoteException
Changes the number of the port on which the lookup service is currently listening for unicast discovery queries to the given port number. If a value of zero is input, then the lookup service will first try to listen on the standard unicast discovery port, but if that fails, the lookup service will listen on an arbitrary port.

Parameters:
port - int representing the new port number on which the lookup service should listen for unicast discovery queries.
Throws:
IOException - because an invocation of this method will result in the re-initiation of the unicast discovery process, which can throw an IOException when socket allocation occurs.
RemoteException - typically, this exception occurs when there is a communication failure between the client and the server.
