Constructor Detail

ServerObject

protected ServerObject(RemoteAdapterFactory factory)
                throws RemoteException

Creates a basic server adapter that uses the given factory to create new adapters.

Parameters:

factory - remote adapter factory

Throws:

RemoteException - on RMI errors

Method Detail

getFactory

protected RemoteAdapterFactory getFactory()

Returns the remote adapter factory used to create new adapters.

Returns:

remote adapter factory

getRepositoryException

protected RepositoryException getRepositoryException(RepositoryException ex)

Returns a cleaned version of the given exception. In some cases the underlying repository implementation may throw exceptions that are either unserializable, use exception subclasses that are only locally available, contain references to unserializable or only locally available classes. This method returns a cleaned version of such an exception. The returned exception contains only the message string from the original exception, and uses the public JCR exception class that most specifically matches the original exception.

Parameters:

ex - the original exception

Returns:

clean exception

getRemoteItem

protected RemoteItem getRemoteItem(Item item)
                            throws RemoteException

Utility method for creating a remote reference for a local item. Unlike the factory method for creating remote item references, this method introspects the type of the local item and returns the corresponding node, property, or item remote reference using the remote adapter factory.

If the item, this method calls the getRemoteNode(Node) to return the correct remote type.

Parameters:

item - local node, property, or item

Returns:

remote node, property, or item reference

Throws:

RemoteException - on RMI errors

getRemoteNode

protected RemoteNode getRemoteNode(Node node)
                            throws RemoteException

Utility method for creating a remote reference for a local node. Unlike the factory method for creating remote node references, this method introspects the type of the local node and returns the corresponding node, version, or version history remote reference using the remote adapter factory.

Parameters:

node - local version, versionhistory, or normal node

Returns:

remote node, property, or item reference

Throws:

RemoteException - on RMI errors

getRemoteNodeTypeArray

protected RemoteNodeType[] getRemoteNodeTypeArray(NodeType[] types)
                                           throws RemoteException

Utility method for creating an array of remote references for local node types. The remote references are created using the remote adapter factory.

A null input is treated as an empty array.

Parameters:

types - local node type array

Returns:

remote node type array

Throws:

RemoteException - on RMI errors

getSerialValues

protected Value[] getSerialValues(Value[] values)
                           throws RepositoryException

Utility method for preparing an array of values for serialization. The returned array will contain serializable versions of all the given values.

If the given array is null, then an empty array is returned.

Parameters:

values - the values to be decorated

Returns:

array of decorated values

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the values can not be serialized

getSerialValue

protected Value getSerialValue(Value value)
                        throws RepositoryException

Utility method for decorating a value. Note that the contents of the original values will only be copied when the decorators are serialized. Null referenced and already serializable values are passed as-is.

Parameters:

value - the value to be decorated, or null

Returns:

the decorated value, or null

Throws:

RepositoryException - if the value can not be serialized
