Method Detail

getLookupAttributes

Entry[] getLookupAttributes()
                     throws RemoteException

Get the current attribute sets for the service.

Returns:

the current attribute sets for the service

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

addLookupAttributes

void addLookupAttributes(Entry[] attrSets)
                  throws RemoteException

Add attribute sets for the service. The resulting set will be used for all future joins. The attribute sets are also added to all currently-joined lookup services.

Parameters:

attrSets - the attribute sets to add

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

modifyLookupAttributes

void modifyLookupAttributes(Entry[] attrSetTemplates,
                            Entry[] attrSets)
                     throws RemoteException

Modify the current attribute sets, using the same semantics as ServiceRegistration.modifyAttributes. The resulting set will be used for all future joins. The same modifications are also made to all currently-joined lookup services.

Parameters:

attrSetTemplates - the templates for matching attribute sets

attrSets - the modifications to make to matching sets

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

ServiceRegistration.modifyAttributes(net.jini.core.entry.Entry[], net.jini.core.entry.Entry[])

getLookupGroups

String[] getLookupGroups()
                  throws RemoteException

Get the list of groups to join. An empty array means the service joins no groups (as opposed to "all" groups).

Returns:

an array of groups to join. An empty array means the service joins no groups (as opposed to "all" groups).

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

setLookupGroups(java.lang.String[])

addLookupGroups

void addLookupGroups(String[] groups)
              throws RemoteException

Add new groups to the set to join. Lookup services in the new groups will be discovered and joined.

Parameters:

groups - groups to join

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

removeLookupGroups(java.lang.String[])

removeLookupGroups

void removeLookupGroups(String[] groups)
                 throws RemoteException

Remove groups from the set to join. Leases are cancelled at lookup services that are not members of any of the remaining groups.

Parameters:

groups - groups to leave

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

addLookupGroups(java.lang.String[])

setLookupGroups

void setLookupGroups(String[] groups)
              throws RemoteException

Replace the list of groups to join with a new list. Leases are cancelled at lookup services that are not members of any of the new groups. Lookup services in the new groups will be discovered and joined.

Parameters:

groups - groups to join

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

getLookupGroups()

getLookupLocators

LookupLocator[] getLookupLocators()
                           throws RemoteException

Get the list of locators of specific lookup services to join.

Returns:

the list of locators of specific lookup services to join

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

setLookupLocators(net.jini.core.discovery.LookupLocator[])

addLookupLocators

void addLookupLocators(LookupLocator[] locators)
                throws RemoteException

Add locators for specific new lookup services to join. The new lookup services will be discovered and joined.

Parameters:

locators - locators of specific lookup services to join

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

removeLookupLocators(net.jini.core.discovery.LookupLocator[])

removeLookupLocators

void removeLookupLocators(LookupLocator[] locators)
                   throws RemoteException

Remove locators for specific lookup services from the set to join. Any leases held at the lookup services are cancelled.

Parameters:

locators - locators of specific lookup services to leave

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.

See Also:

addLookupLocators(net.jini.core.discovery.LookupLocator[])

setLookupLocators

void setLookupLocators(LookupLocator[] locators)
                throws RemoteException

Replace the list of locators of specific lookup services to join with a new list. Leases are cancelled at lookup services that were in the old list but are not in the new list. Any new lookup services will be discovered and joined.

Parameters:

locators - locators of specific lookup services to join

Throws:

RemoteException - when a communication issue occurs.
