Interface EndpointResolverRegistry

All Known Implementing Classes:
EndpointResolverRegistryImpl

public interface EndpointResolverRegistry

Implementations of this interface are responsible for mediating access to registered EndpointResolvers, which themselves map between abstract and concrete endpoint references, and/or facilitate renewal of stale references.

An underlying mechanism in the style of the OGSA WS-Naming specification is assumed, where an EPR maybe be fully abstract, or concrete but with sufficient information embedded to enable its renewal if necessary.


Method Summary
 org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)
          Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a gievn physical EPR.
 org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(javax.xml.namespace.QName serviceName)
          Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
 void register(EndpointResolver resolver)
          Register an endpoint resolver.
 org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType renew(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical, org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)
          Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
 org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType resolve(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical)
          Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.
 void unregister(EndpointResolver resolver)
          Unregister an endpoint resolver.
 

Method Detail

register

void register(EndpointResolver resolver)
Register an endpoint resolver.

Parameters:
resolver - the EndpointResolver to add to the chain.

unregister

void unregister(EndpointResolver resolver)
Unregister an endpoint resolver.

Parameters:
resolver - the EndpointResolver to remove from the chain.

resolve

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType resolve(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical)
Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.

This API is used by any actor that requires a concrete EPR (e.g. a transport-level Conduit), and must be called each and every time the EPR content is to be accessed (e.g. before each connection establishment attempt).

Parameters:
logical - the abstract EPR to resolve

renew

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType renew(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical,
                                                         org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)
Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.

This API may be used by say the transport-level Conduit when it detects a non-transient error on the outgoing connection, or by any other actor in the dispatch with the ability to infer server-side unavailability.

Parameters:
logical - the previously resolved abstract EPR
physical - the concrete EPR to refresh
Returns:
the renewed concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

mint

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(javax.xml.namespace.QName serviceName)
Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.

Parameters:
serviceName -
Returns:
the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

mint

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)
Walk the list of registered EndpointResolvers, so as to mint a new abstract EPR for a gievn physical EPR.

Parameters:
physical -
Returns:
the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
