org.apache.jcs.auxiliary.remote.behavior
Interface IRemoteCacheClient

All Superinterfaces:

AuxiliaryCache, ICache, ICacheType, java.io.Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

RemoteCache

public interface IRemoteCacheClient
extends AuxiliaryCache

This defines the behavior expected of a remote cache client. This extends Auxiliary cache which in turn extends ICache.

I'd like generalize this a bit.

fixCache

void fixCache(IRemoteCacheService remote)

Replaces the current remote cache service handle with the given handle. If the current remote is a Zombie, the propagate teh events that may be queued to the restored service.

Parameters:

remote - IRemoteCacheService -- the remote server or proxy to the remote server

getListenerId

long getListenerId()

Gets the listenerId attribute of the RemoteCacheListener object.

All requests to the remote cache must include a listener id. This allows the server to avoid sending updates the the listener associated with this client.

Returns:

The listenerId value

getListener

IRemoteCacheListener getListener()

This returns the listener associated with this remote cache. TODO we should try to get this out of the interface.

Returns:

IRemoteCacheListener
