java.lang.Object

com.jme3.network.service.AbstractService<ClientServiceManager>

All Implemented Interfaces:

ClientService, Service<ClientServiceManager>

public class RmiClientService
extends AbstractClientService

A service that can be added to the client to support a simple shared objects protocol.

Objects are shared by adding them to the RmiRegistry with one of the share() methods. Shared objects must have a separate interface and implementation. The interface is what the other end of the connection will use to interact with the object and that interface class must be available on both ends of the connection. The implementing class need only be on the sharing end.

Shared objects can be accessed on the other end of the connection by using one of the RmiRegistry's getRemoteObject() methods. These can be used to lookup an object by class if it is a shared singleton or by name if it was registered with a name.

Note: This RMI implementation is not as advanced as Java's regular RMI as it won't marshall shared references, ie: you can't pass a shared objects as an argument to another shared object's method.

Method Details

share

public <T> void share(T object,
 Class<? super T> type)

Shares the specified object with the server and associates it with the specified type. Objects shared in this way are available in the connection-specific RMI registry on the server and are not available to other connections.

share

public <T> void share(byte channel,
 T object,
 Class<? super T> type)

Shares the specified object with the server and associates it with the specified type. Objects shared in this way are available in the connection-specific RMI registry on the server and are not available to other connections. All object related communication will be done over the specified connection channel.

share

public <T> void share(String name,
 T object,
 Class<? super T> type)

Shares the specified object with the server and associates it with the specified name. Objects shared in this way are available in the connection-specific RMI registry on the server and are not available to other connections.

share

public <T> void share(byte channel,
 String name,
 T object,
 Class<? super T> type)

Shares the specified object with the server and associates it with the specified name. Objects shared in this way are available in the connection-specific RMI registry on the server and are not available to other connections. All object related communication will be done over the specified connection channel.

getRemoteObject

public <T> T getRemoteObject(Class<T> type)

Looks up a remote object on the server by type and returns a local proxy to the remote object that was shared on the other end of the network connection.

getRemoteObject

public <T> T getRemoteObject(String name,
 Class<T> type)

Looks up a remote object on the server by name and returns a local proxy to the remote object that was shared on the other end of the network connection.

onInitialize

protected void onInitialize(ClientServiceManager s)

Description copied from class: AbstractService

Called during initialize() for the subclass to perform implementation specific initialization.

Specified by:

onInitialize in class AbstractService<ClientServiceManager>

start

public void start()

Description copied from class: AbstractService

Default implementation does nothing. Implementations can override this to perform custom startup behavior.

Specified by:

start in interface ClientService

Specified by:

start in interface Service<ClientServiceManager>

Overrides:

start in class AbstractService<ClientServiceManager>
