Interface Service.Proxy

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

Enclosing interface:

Service

public static interface Service.Proxy
extends Serializable

This class is both used by servers to install proxies in a client's JVM, and by clients to install proxies in a server's JVM. A proxy is a serialisable object that on arrival at the target JVM, is initialised with a local to the service object, on which it can communicate. A service would send proxies to offload client processing and storage needs. A client would send proxies to perform highly interactive operation, on potentially large datasets.

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	init(Object service) called by the client on receiving a proxy object.

Method Detail

init

void init(Object service)

called by the client on receiving a proxy object. The proxy can then prepare itself for operation. However, this method should return quickly; therefore, proxies requiring lengthy initialisation times should perform such work in an internally created thread.

Parameters:

service - a reference to the service object, local for client proxies, remote for service proxies.
