Interface Transport

All Superinterfaces:

Lifecycle

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDelegatingTransport, AbstractTransport, JGroupsTransport

public interface Transport
extends Lifecycle

Method Detail

invokeRemotely

Map<Address,Response> invokeRemotely(Collection<Address> recipients,
                                   ReplicableCommand rpcCommand,
                                   ResponseMode mode,
                                   long timeout,
                                   boolean usePriorityQueue,
                                   ResponseFilter responseFilter,
                                   boolean totalOrder,
                                   boolean anycast)
                                     throws Exception

Invokes an RPC call on other caches in the cluster.

Parameters:

recipients - a list of Addresses to invoke the call on. If this is null, the call is broadcast to the entire cluster.

rpcCommand - the cache command to invoke

mode - the response mode to use

timeout - a timeout after which to throw a replication exception.

usePriorityQueue - if true, a priority queue is used to deliver messages. May not be supported by all implementations.

responseFilter - a response filter with which to filter out failed/unwanted/invalid responses.

totalOrder - the command will be send with total order properties

anycast - used when is true, it means that it must use TOA instead of TOB.

Returns:

a map of responses from each member contacted.

Throws:

Exception - in the event of problems.

backupRemotely

BackupResponse backupRemotely(Collection<XSiteBackup> backups,
                            ReplicableCommand rpcCommand)
                              throws Exception

Throws:

Exception

isCoordinator

boolean isCoordinator()

Returns:

true if the current Channel is the coordinator of the cluster.

getCoordinator

Address getCoordinator()

Returns:

the Address of the current coordinator.

getAddress

Address getAddress()

Retrieves the current cache instance's network address

Returns:

an Address

getPhysicalAddresses

List<Address> getPhysicalAddresses()

Retrieves the current cache instance's physical network addresses. Some implementations might differentiate between logical and physical addresses in which case, this method allows clients to query the physical ones associated with the logical address. Implementations where logical and physical address are the same will simply return a single entry List that contains the same Address as getAddress().

Returns:

an List of Address

getMembers

List<Address> getMembers()

Returns a list of members in the current cluster view.

Returns:

a list of members. Typically, this would be defensively copied.

isMulticastCapable

boolean isMulticastCapable()

Tests whether the transport supports true multicast

Returns:

true if the transport supports true multicast

start

void start()

Specified by:

start in interface Lifecycle

stop

void stop()

Specified by:

stop in interface Lifecycle

getViewId

int getViewId()

Throws:

CacheException - if the transport has been stopped.

getLog

Log getLog()

checkTotalOrderSupported

void checkTotalOrderSupported()

check if the transport has configured with total order deliver properties (has the sequencer in JGroups protocol stack.
