InvokeHandler (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

public interface InvokeHandler

This interface provides a dispatching mechanism for an incoming call. It is invoked by the ORB to dispatch a request to a servant.

Method Summary
`OutputStream`	`_invoke(String method, InputStream input, ResponseHandler handler)` Invoked by the ORB to dispatch a request to the servant.

Method Detail

_invoke

public OutputStream _invoke(String method,
                            InputStream input,
                            ResponseHandler handler)
                     throws SystemException

Invoked by the ORB to dispatch a request to the servant. ORB passes the method name, an InputStream containing the marshalled arguments, and a ResponseHandler which the servant uses to construct a proper reply. Only CORBA SystemException may be thrown by this method. The method must return an OutputStream created by the ResponseHandler which contains the marshalled reply. A servant must not retain a reference to the ResponseHandler beyond the lifetime of a method invocation. Servant behaviour is defined as follows:

1. Determine correct method, and unmarshal parameters from InputStream.

2. Invoke method implementation.

3. If no user exception, create a normal reply using ResponseHandler.

4. If user exception occurred, create exception reply using ResponseHandler.

5. Marshal reply into OutputStream returned by ResponseHandler.

6. Return OutputStream to ORB.

Parameters:: method - The method name.; input - The InputStream containing the marshalled arguments.; handler - The ResponseHandler which the servant uses to construct a proper reply
Returns:: The OutputStream created by the ResponseHandler which contains the marshalled reply
Throws:: SystemException
