Class OncRpcCallInformation

java.lang.Object
org.acplt.oncrpc.server.OncRpcCallInformation

public class OncRpcCallInformation extends Object
Objects of class OncRpcCallInformation contain information about individual ONC/RPC calls. They are given to ONC/RPC call dispatchers, so they can send back the reply to the appropriate caller, etc. Use only this call info objects to retrieve call parameters and send back replies as in the future UDP/IP-based transports may become multi-threaded handling. The call info object is responsible to control access to the underlaying transport, so never mess with the transport directly.

Note that this class provides two different patterns for accessing parameters sent by clients within the ONC/RPC call and sending back replies.

  1. The convenient high-level access:
    • Use retrieveCall(XdrAble) to retrieve the parameters of the call and deserialize it into a paramter object.
    • Use reply(XdrAble) to send back the reply by serializing a reply/result object. Or use the failXXX methods to send back an error indication instead.
  2. The lower-level access, giving more control over how and when data is deserialized and serialized:

  • Constructor Details

    • OncRpcCallInformation

      protected OncRpcCallInformation(OncRpcServerTransport transport)
      Create an OncRpcCallInformation object and associate it with a ONC/RPC server transport. Typically, OncRpcCallInformation objects are created by transports once before handling incoming calls using the same call info object. To support multithreaded handling of calls in the future (for UDP/IP), the transport is already divided from the call info.
      Parameters:
      transport - ONC/RPC server transport.
  • Method Details

    • retrieveCall

      public void retrieveCall(XdrAble call) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Retrieves the parameters sent within an ONC/RPC call message. It also makes sure that the deserialization process is properly finished after the call parameters have been retrieved.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully deserialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • getXdrDecodingStream

      public XdrDecodingStream getXdrDecodingStream()
      Returns XDR stream which can be used for deserializing the parameters of this ONC/RPC call. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Returns:
      Reference to decoding XDR stream.
    • endDecoding

      public void endDecoding() throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Finishes call parameter deserialization. Afterwards the XDR stream returned by getXdrDecodingStream() must not be used any more. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully deserialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • beginEncoding

      public void beginEncoding(OncRpcServerReplyMessage state) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Begins the sending phase for ONC/RPC replies. After beginning sending you can serialize the reply/result (but only if the call was accepted, see OncRpcReplyMessage for details). The stream to use for serialization can be obtained using getXdrEncodingStream(). This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Parameters:
      state - ONC/RPC reply header indicating success or failure.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.

    • beginEncoding

      public void beginEncoding() throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Begins the sending phase for accepted ONC/RPC replies. After beginning sending you can serialize the result/reply. The stream to use for serialization can be obtained using getXdrEncodingStream(). This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • getXdrEncodingStream

      public XdrEncodingStream getXdrEncodingStream()
      Returns XDR stream which can be used for eserializing the reply to this ONC/RPC call. This method belongs to the lower-level access pattern when handling ONC/RPC calls.
      Returns:
      Reference to enecoding XDR stream.
    • endEncoding

      public void endEncoding() throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Finishes encoding the reply to this ONC/RPC call. Afterwards you must not use the XDR stream returned by getXdrEncodingStream() any longer.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
    • reply

      public void reply(OncRpcServerReplyMessage state, XdrAble reply) throws OncRpcException, IOException
      Send back an ONC/RPC reply to the caller who sent in this call. This is a low-level function and typically should not be used by call dispatchers. Instead use the other reply method which just expects a serializable object to send back to the caller.
      Parameters:
      state - ONC/RPC reply message header indicating success or failure and containing associated state information.
      reply - If not null, then this parameter references the reply to be serialized after the reply message header.
      Throws:
      OncRpcException - if an ONC/RPC exception occurs, like the data could not be successfully serialized.
      IOException - if an I/O exception occurs, like transmission failures over the network, etc.
