        Constant Field Values

      • CREDENTIAL_TYPES

        public static final String CREDENTIAL_TYPES
        Name of the attribute that specifies a list of class names acceptable as parameters to the RMIServer.newClient() remote method call.

        This list of classes should correspond to the transitive closure of the credentials class (or classes) used by the installed JMXAuthenticator associated with the RMIServer implementation.

        If the attribute is not set, or is null, then any class is deemed acceptable.

    • Constructor Detail

      • RMIConnectorServer

        public RMIConnectorServer​(JMXServiceURL url,
                          Map<String,?> environment)
                   throws IOException

        Makes an RMIConnectorServer. This is equivalent to calling RMIConnectorServer(directoryURL,environment,null,null)

        Parameters:
        url - the URL defining how to create the connector server. Cannot be null.
        environment - attributes governing the creation and storing of the RMI object. Can be null, which is equivalent to an empty Map.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if url is null.
        MalformedURLException - if url does not conform to the syntax for an RMI connector, or if its protocol is not recognized by this implementation. Only "rmi" is valid when this constructor is used.
        IOException - if the connector server cannot be created for some reason or if it is inevitable that its start method will fail.

                          MBeanServer mbeanServer)
                   throws IOException

        Makes an RMIConnectorServer for the given MBean server. This is equivalent to calling RMIConnectorServer(directoryURL,environment,null,mbeanServer)

        Parameters:
        url - the URL defining how to create the connector server. Cannot be null.
        environment - attributes governing the creation and storing of the RMI object. Can be null, which is equivalent to an empty Map.
        mbeanServer - the MBean server to which the new connector server is attached, or null if it will be attached by being registered as an MBean in the MBean server.
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if url is null.
        MalformedURLException - if url does not conform to the syntax for an RMI connector, or if its protocol is not recognized by this implementation. Only "rmi" is valid when this constructor is used.

    • Method Detail

      • start

        public void start​()
           throws IOException

        Activates the connector server, that is starts listening for client connections. Calling this method when the connector server is already active has no effect. Calling this method when the connector server has been stopped will generate an IOException.

        The behavior of this method when called for the first time depends on the parameters that were supplied at construction, as described below.

        First, an object of a subclass of RMIServerImpl is required, to export the connector server through RMI:

        • If an RMIServerImpl was supplied to the constructor, it is used.
        • Otherwise, if the JMXServiceURL was null, or its protocol part was rmi, an object of type RMIJRMPServerImpl is created.
        • Otherwise, the implementation can create an implementation-specific RMIServerImpl or it can throw MalformedURLException.

        If the given address includes a JNDI directory URL as specified in the package documentation for javax.management.remote.rmi, then this RMIConnectorServer will bootstrap by binding the RMIServerImpl to the given address.

        If the URL path part of the JMXServiceURL was empty or a single slash (/), then the RMI object will not be bound to a directory. Instead, a reference to it will be encoded in the URL path of the RMIConnectorServer address (returned by getAddress()). The encodings for rmi are described in the package documentation for javax.management.remote.rmi.

        The behavior when the URL path is neither empty nor a JNDI directory URL, or when the protocol is not rmi, is implementation defined, and may include throwing MalformedURLException when the connector server is created or when it is started.

        Throws:
        IllegalStateException - if the connector server has not been attached to an MBean server.
        IOException - if the connector server cannot be started.

      • stop

        public void stop​()
          throws IOException

        Deactivates the connector server, that is, stops listening for client connections. Calling this method will also close all client connections that were made by this server. After this method returns, whether normally or with an exception, the connector server will not create any new client connections.

        Once a connector server has been stopped, it cannot be started again.

        Calling this method when the connector server has already been stopped has no effect. Calling this method when the connector server has not yet been started will disable the connector server object permanently.

        If closing a client connection produces an exception, that exception is not thrown from this method. A JMXConnectionNotification is emitted from this MBean with the connection ID of the connection that could not be closed.

        Closing a connector server is a potentially slow operation. For example, if a client machine with an open connection has crashed, the close operation might have to wait for a network protocol timeout. Callers that do not want to block in a close operation should do it in a separate thread.

        This method calls the method close on the connector server's RMIServerImpl object.

        If the RMIServerImpl was bound to a JNDI directory by the start method, it is unbound from the directory by this method.

        Throws:
        IOException - if the server cannot be closed cleanly, or if the RMIServerImpl cannot be unbound from the directory. When this exception is thrown, the server has already attempted to close all client connections, if appropriate; to call RMIServerImpl.close(); and to unbind the RMIServerImpl from its directory, if appropriate. All client connections are closed except possibly those that generated exceptions when the server attempted to close them.

      • isActive

        public boolean isActive​()
        Description copied from interface: JMXConnectorServerMBean

        Determines whether the connector server is active. A connector server starts being active when its start method returns successfully and remains active until either its stop method is called or the connector server fails.

        Returns:
        true if the connector server is active.

      • getAddress

        public JMXServiceURL getAddress​()
        Description copied from interface: JMXConnectorServerMBean

        The address of this connector server.

        The address returned may not be the exact original JMXServiceURL that was supplied when creating the connector server, since the original address may not always be complete. For example the port number may be dynamically allocated when starting the connector server. Instead the address returned is the actual JMXServiceURL of the JMXConnectorServer. This is the address that clients supply to JMXConnectorFactory.connect(JMXServiceURL).

        Note that the address returned may be null if the JMXConnectorServer is not yet active.

        Returns:
        the address of this connector server, or null if it does not have one.

      • getAttributes

        public Map<String,?> getAttributes​()
        Description copied from interface: JMXConnectorServerMBean

        The attributes for this connector server.

        Returns:
        a read-only map containing the attributes for this connector server. Attributes whose values are not serializable are omitted from this map. If there are no serializable attributes, the returned map is empty.

      • setMBeanServerForwarder

        public void setMBeanServerForwarder​(MBeanServerForwarder mbsf)
        Description copied from interface: JMXConnectorServerMBean

        Inserts an object that intercepts requests for the MBean server that arrive through this connector server. This object will be supplied as the MBeanServer for any new connection created by this connector server. Existing connections are unaffected.

        This method can be called more than once with different MBeanServerForwarder objects. The result is a chain of forwarders. The last forwarder added is the first in the chain. In more detail:

        • If this connector server is already associated with an MBeanServer object, then that object is given to mbsf.setMBeanServer. If doing so produces an exception, this method throws the same exception without any other effect.

        • If this connector is not already associated with an MBeanServer object, or if the mbsf.setMBeanServer call just mentioned succeeds, then mbsf becomes this connector server's MBeanServer.

        Specified by:
        setMBeanServerForwarder in interface JMXConnectorServerMBean
        Overrides:
        setMBeanServerForwarder in class JMXConnectorServer
        Parameters:
        mbsf - the new MBeanServerForwarder.
