Class RelationSupport

  +--javax.management.relation.RelationSupport

public class RelationSupport

extends java.lang.Object

implements RelationSupportMBean, MBeanRegistration

A RelationSupport object is used internally by the Relation Service to represent simple relations (only roles, no properties or methods), with an unlimited number of roles, of any relation type. As internal representation, it is not exposed to the user.

RelationSupport class conforms to the design patterns of standard MBean. So the user can decide to instantiate a RelationSupport object himself as a MBean (as it follows the MBean design patterns), to register it in the MBean Server, and then to add it in the Relation Service.

The user can also, when creating his own MBean relation class, have it extending RelationSupport, to retrieve the implementations of required interfaces (see below).

It is also possible to have in a user relation MBean class a member being a RelationSupport object, and to implement the required interfaces by delegating all to this member.

RelationSupport implements the Relation interface (to be handled by the Relation Service).

It implements also the MBeanRegistration interface to be able to retrieve the MBean Server where it is registered (if registered as a MBean) to access to its Relation Service.

Constructor Detail

RelationSupport

public RelationSupport(java.lang.String theRelId,
                       ObjectName theRelServiceName,
                       java.lang.String theRelTypeName,
                       RoleList theRoleList)
                throws InvalidRoleValueException,
                       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates object.

This constructor has to be used when the RelationSupport object will be registered as a MBean by the user, or when creating a user relation MBean those class extends RelationSupport.

Nothing is done at the Relation Service level, i.e. the RelationSupport object is not added, and no check if the provided values are correct. The object is always created, EXCEPT if:

-one mandatory parameter is not provided;

-the same name is used for two roles.

To be handled as a relation, the object has then to be added in the Relation Service using Relation Service method addRelation().

 

Parameters:

theRelId - Relation identifier, to identify the relation in the Relation Service.Expected to be unique in the given Relation Service.

theRelServiceName - ObjectName of the Relation Service where the relation will be registered.It is required as this is the Relation Service that is aware of the definition of the relation type of given relation, so that will be able to check update operations (set).

theRelTypeName - Name of relation type. Expected to have been created in given Relation Service.

theRoleList - List of roles (Role objects) to initialised the relation. Can be null.

 

Throws:

InvalidRoleValueException - if the same name is used for two roles.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a required value (Relation Service Object Name, etc.) is not provided as parameter.

RelationSupport

public RelationSupport(java.lang.String theRelId,
                       ObjectName theRelServiceName,
                       MBeanServer theRelServiceMBeanServer,
                       java.lang.String theRelTypeName,
                       RoleList theRoleList)
                throws InvalidRoleValueException,
                       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Creates object.

This constructor has to be used when the user relation MBean implements the interfaces expected to be supported by a relation by delegating to a RelationSupport object.

This object needs to know the Relation Service expected to handle the relation. So it has to know the MBean Server where the Relation Service is registered.

According to a limitation, a relation MBean must be registered in the same MBean Server as the Relation Service expected to handle it. So the user relation MBean has to be created and registered, and then the wrapped RelationSupport object can be created with identified MBean Server.

Nothing is done at the Relation Service level, i.e. the RelationSupport object is not added, and no check if the provided values are correct. The object is always created, EXCEPT if:

-one mandatory parameter is not provided;

-the same name is used for two roles.

To be handled as a relation, the object has then to be added in the Relation Service using Relation Service method addRelation().

 

Parameters:

theRelId - Relation identifier, to identify the relation in the Relation Service.Expected to be unique in the given Relation Service.

theRelServiceName - ObjectName of the Relation Service where the relation will be registered.It is required as this is the Relation Service that is aware of the definition of the relation type of given relation, so that will be able to check update operations (set).

theRelServiceMBeanServer - MBean Server where the wrapping MBean is or will be registered.

theRelTypeName - Name of relation type.

Expected to have been created in given Relation Service.

theRoleList - List of roles (Role objects) to initialised the relation. Can be null.

 

Throws:

InvalidRoleValueException - if the same name is used for two roles.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if a required value (Relation Service Object Name, etc.) is not provided as parameter.

Callback used by the Relation Service when a MBean referenced in a role is unregistered.

The Relation Service will call this method to let the relation take action to reflect the impact of such unregistration.

BEWARE. the user is not expected to call this method.

Current implementation is to set the role with its current value (list of ObjectNames of referenced MBeans) without the unregistered one.

 

Parameters:

RelationTypeNotFoundException - if the relation type has not been declared in the Relation Service.

RelationNotFoundException - if this method is called for a relation MBean not added in the Relation Service.

public java.util.Map getReferencedMBeans()

Retrieves MBeans referenced in the various roles of the relation.

 

Returns:

a HashMap mapping:ObjectName -> ArrayList of String role(names)

getRelationTypeName

public java.lang.String getRelationTypeName()

Returns name of associated relation type.

getRelationServiceName

public ObjectName getRelationServiceName()

Returns ObjectName of the Relation Service handling the relation

getRelationId

public java.lang.String getRelationId()

Returns relation identifier (used to uniquely identify the relation inside the Relation Service)

isInRelationService

public java.lang.Boolean isInRelationService()

Returns an internal flag specifying if the object is still handled by the Relation Service.

isInRelationService in interface RelationSupportMBean

setRelationServiceManagementFlag

public void setRelationServiceManagementFlag(java.lang.Boolean theFlg)

Sets the flag to specify that it is handled or not by the Relation Service

BEWARE, this method has to be exposed for the user relation MBeans, as the Relation Service will access the relation through its management interface. It is RECOMMENDED NOT to use this method. Using it does not affect the registration of the relation object in the Relation Service, but will provide wrong information about it!!!!

Specified by:
