Interface ServiceProxyAccessor

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

public interface ServiceProxyAccessor
extends Remote

Provides a means to obtain a client-side proxy from a "base" service object.

This interface is typically implemented by a service implementation and/or it's remote activatable reference, if any, to allow the service to return the object of its choice for a client-side reference. When a non-activatable service is created, NonActivatableServiceDescriptor#create(net.jini.config.Configuration) NonActivatableServiceDescriptor.create(), returns the result from <impl>.getServiceProxy(), if supported, where <impl> is the service implementation instance. When an activatable service is created, SharedActivatableServiceDescriptor#create(net.jini.config.Configuration) SharedActivatableServiceDescriptor.create(), returns the result of <act_ref>.getServiceProxy(), if supported, where <act_ref> is the service reference returned by the call to ActivationID.activate().
