Class ninja.rmi.NinjaRemoteObject 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----ninja.rmi.NinjaRemoteObject
public class NinjaRemoteObject
extends Object
NinjaRemoteObject is the class which all remotely-accessible objects using NinjaRMI must extend. By subclassing NinjaRemoteObject, the object is automatically "exported" for remote access. Clients wishing to access the remote object must obtain a stub - this is generally done only through the registry. Various methods of NinjaRemoteObject are provided to allow the server-side object to obtain information on the clients accessing it.

Constructor Index

o NinjaRemoteObject()
The constructor for a NinjaRemoteObject, when called with no arguments, exports the object for remote access using the default settings.
o NinjaRemoteObject(NinjaExportData)
When a NinjaExportData is passed into the NinjaRemoteObject constructor, the behavior of the remote object can be modified (for example, the TCP port on which the object is exported can be specified).

Method Index

o exportObject(NinjaExportData)
exportObject exports the NinjaRemoteObject for remote access.
o getStub()
o unexportObject()
Calling 'unexportObject' on a NinjaRemoteObject will cause the object to be unexported for future incoming calls.

Constructors

o NinjaRemoteObject 
 protected NinjaRemoteObject() throws RemoteException
The constructor for a NinjaRemoteObject, when called with no arguments, exports the object for remote access using the default settings.

o NinjaRemoteObject 
 protected NinjaRemoteObject(NinjaExportData exportData) throws RemoteException
When a NinjaExportData is passed into the NinjaRemoteObject constructor, the behavior of the remote object can be modified (for example, the TCP port on which the object is exported can be specified). If null is passed in, then the NinjaRemoteObject will not be exported; the user must call exportObject() directly.

NinjaExportData

Methods

o exportObject 
 public void exportObject(NinjaExportData exportData) throws RemoteException
exportObject exports the NinjaRemoteObject for remote access. Only call this function if you call the NinjaRemoteObject constructor with an argument of null. The intent here is that the user can construct a NinjaExportData structure before calling exportObject - because superclass constructors must be the first thing called in a constructor.

Parameters:
exportData - The NinjaExportData structure specifying how the object should be exported.
o unexportObject 
 public void unexportObject() throws RemoteException
Calling 'unexportObject' on a NinjaRemoteObject will cause the object to be unexported for future incoming calls. Currently, any calls in progress (i.e., any existing client sockets connecting to the remote object) are not destroyed; only future calls are made impossible.

o getStub 
 protected NinjaRemoteStub getStub()
