Invoker (src)

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalClientInvoker (src) , RemoteClientInvoker (src)

public interface ClientInvoker

in -

Returns:

Throws:

isConnected

public boolean isConnected()

subclasses must provide this method to return true if their remote connection is connected and false if disconnected. in some transports, such as SOAP, this method may always return true, since the remote connectivity is done on demand and not kept persistent like other transports (such as socket-based transport).

Returns:

boolean true if connected, false if not

connect

public void connect()
             throws ConnectionFailedException (src) 

connect to the remote invoker

Throws:

ConnectionFailedException (src)

disconnect

public void disconnect()

disconnect from the remote invokere

setMarshaller

public void setMarshaller(Marshaller (src)  marshaller)

getMarshaller

public Marshaller (src)  getMarshaller()

setUnMarshaller

public void setUnMarshaller(UnMarshaller (src)  unmarshaller)

getUnMarshaller

public UnMarshaller (src)  getUnMarshaller()
