34 Provides classes and interfaces for making the server side of your applications |
|
35 portable across multivendor ORBs. |
|
36 |
|
37 <P>In Java, Portable Object Adaptor (POA)-based Dynamic Skeleton Interface (DSI) |
|
38 servants inherit from the standard <TT>DynamicImplementation</TT> class, which |
|
39 inherits from the <TT>Servant</TT> class. The native <TT>Servant</TT> type is |
|
40 defined by the <TT>PortableServer</TT> module for the POA. In Java, the |
|
41 <TT>Servant</TT> type is mapped to the Java |
|
42 <TT>org.omg.PortableServer.Servant</TT> class. |
|
43 It serves as the base class for all POA servant |
|
44 implementations and provides a number of methods that may |
|
45 be invoked by the application programmer, as well as methods |
|
46 which are invoked by the POA itself and may be overridden by |
|
47 the user to control aspects of servant behavior. |
|
48 |
|
49 <H2>Package Specification</H2> |
|
50 |
|
51 <P>For a precise list of supported sections of official OMG specifications with which |
|
52 the Java[tm] Platform, Standard Edition 6 complies, see <A |
|
53 HREF="../CORBA/doc-files/compliance.html">Official Specifications for CORBA |
|
54 support in Java[tm] SE 6</A>. |
|
55 <p> |
|
56 |
|
57 <H2>POA-related Interfaces</H2> |
|
58 |
|
59 <P>The <TT>PortableServer</TT> module defines the following POA-related interfaces: |
|
60 <P> |
|
61 <UL> |
|
62 <LI><TT>POA</TT> |
|
63 <LI><TT>POAManager</TT> |
|
64 <LI><TT>ServantManager</TT> |
|
65 <LI><TT>ServantActivator</TT> |
|
66 <LI><TT>ServantLocator</TT> |
|
67 <LI><TT>AdapterActivator</TT> |
|
68 <LI><TT>ThreadPolicy</TT> |
|
69 <LI><TT>LifespanPolicy</TT> |
|
70 <LI><TT>IdUniquenessPolicy</TT> |
|
71 <LI><TT>IdAssignmentPolicy</TT> |
|
72 <LI><TT>ImplicitActivationPolicy</TT> |
|
73 <LI><TT>ServantRetentionPolicy</TT> |
|
74 <LI><TT>RequestProcessingPolicy</TT> |
|
75 <LI><TT>Current</TT> |
|
76 </UL> |
|
77 |
|
78 <P>In addition, the POA defines the <TT>Servant</TT> native type. |
|
79 |
|
80 <H3>Operations classes</H3> |
|
81 |
|
82 <P>Each of the interfaces listed above has an associated <code>Operations</code> interface. The <code>Operations</code> interface is generated by the <code>idlj</code> compiler and contains the method signatures for methods defined in its associated interface. The <code>Operations</code> interface can be accessed by both the client and the server, while its associated interface can only be called by the client. |
|
83 |
|
84 <H3>Value Classes</H3> |
|
85 |
|
86 Classes ending in the suffix <code>PolicyValue</code> provide the values used for the <code>create_POA</code> call, which sets the policy for the POA. See the <a href="#sampleserver">sample code</a> below for a demonstration. <code>PolicyValue</code> files include the following: |
|
87 <P> |
|
88 <UL> |
|
89 <LI><code>IdAssignmentPolicyValue</code> |
|
90 <LI><code>IdUniquenessPolicyValue</code> |
|
91 <LI><code>ImplicitActivationPolicyValue</code> |
|
92 <LI><code>LifespanPolicyValue</code> |
|
93 <LI><code>RequestProcessingPolicyValue</code> |
|
94 <LI><code>ServantRetentionPolicyValue</code> |
|
95 <LI><code>ThreadPolicyValue</code> |
|
96 </UL> |
|
97 |
|
98 <H3>Helper Classes</H3> |
|
99 |
|
100 <P>Helper classes, which are generated for all user-defined types in an OMG IDL |
|
101 interface, supply static methods needed to manipulate those types. There is only one method in a helper class that an application programmer uses: the <code>narrow</code> method. Only Java interfaces mapped from IDL interfaces will have a helper class that includes a <code>narrow</code> method, so in the <code>PortableServer</code> package, only the following classes have a <code>narrow</code> method: |
|
102 <P> |
|
103 <UL> |
|
104 <LI><code>ForwardRequestHelper</code> |
|
105 <LI><code>ServantActivatorHelper</code> |
|
106 <LI><code>ServantLocatorHelper</code> |
|
107 </UL> |
|
108 |
|
109 <H3>POA Classes</H3> |
|
110 |
|
111 <P>POA classes are used to implement the <code>ServantActivator</code> or <code>ServantLocator</code>. |
|
112 |
|
113 <H3>Exceptions</H3> |
|
114 |
|
115 <P>The <code>ForwardRequest</code> exception indicates to the ORB |
|
116 that it is responsible for delivering the current request and subsequent <code>ForwardRequest</code> requests to the object denoted in the |
|
117 <code>forward_reference</code> member of the exception. |
|
118 |
|
119 <H3>Interfaces Implemented by the Application Programmer</H3> |
|
120 |
|
121 <P>Most of what <code>PortableServer</code> does is transparent to the user. The result is that programmers will use only a few of the interfaces mentioned above. The remaining interfaces will be provided by the ORB implementation. The interfaces of interest to application programmers are the following: |
|
122 <P> |
|
123 <ul> |
|
124 <LI><code>AdapterActivator</code> |
|
125 <P>Adapter activators are associated with POAs. An adapter activator supplies a POA with the ability to create child POAs on demand, as a side-effect of receiving a request that names the child POA (or one of its children), or when <code>find_POA</code> is called with an activate parameter value of <code>TRUE</code>. An application server that creates all its needed POAs at the beginning of execution does not need to use or provide an adapter activator; it is necessary only for the case in which POAs need to be created during request processing. |
|
126 <P> |
|
127 <LI><code>ServantLocator</code> |
|
128 <P>When the POA has the <code>NON_RETAIN</code> policy, it uses servant managers that are <code>ServantLocator</code>s. |
|
129 <P> |
|
130 <LI><code>ServantActivator</code> |
|
131 <P>When the POA has the <code>RETAIN</code> policy, it uses servant managers that are <code>ServantActivator</code>s. |
|
132 </ul> |
|
133 |
|
134 |
|
135 <H2>Package <TT>org.omg.PortableServer.ServantLocatorPackage</TT></H2> |
|
136 |
|
137 <P>This package supplies a <TT>CookieHolder</TT> class for passing |
|
138 the <TT>Cookie</TT> type as an <code>out</code> parameter. The <code>CookieHolder</code> class |
|
139 follows exactly the same pattern as the other holder classes for basic types. |
