  org.sandev.basics.structs.IODeclCallStruct

Direct Known Subclasses:

IODeclCall

public class IODeclCallStruct

extends java.lang.Object

A communication path representing an outbound synchronous call to another node instance.

This struture is used as part of a NodeInstance. It is not persistent or transmittable, nor does it have any query, update or collection forms.

summary fields: mode target gateway optimize

Field Summary

protected java.lang.String	gateway The instance name of our local authorizer used as our gateway.
protected int	mode Communications between trusted nodes may be done directly, without authorization or encryption.
protected int	optimize Optimization, typically through direct method invocation, is done by default whenever possible.
protected java.lang.String	target The node instance name if using direct communication, otherwise the instance name of the corresponding authorizer node for secure communication.

Field Detail

mode

protected int mode

Communications between trusted nodes may be done directly, without authorization or encryption. This is appropriate between trusted nodes running on the same server where there are no security issues. The alternative is secure communications. Secure communications must be used when communicating across servers.

enumerated constant values:

• _INVALID = 0
  
• _DIRECT = 1
  
• _SECURE = 2
  

declared invalid value: 0

optimize

protected int optimize

Optimization, typically through direct method invocation, is done by default whenever possible. However there are times where this optimization should be disabled (such as tracking all messages through a message server for debugging purposes, or whatever) so this field provides for turning off optimization.

declared default value: IF_POSSIBLE

enumerated constant values:

• _IF_POSSIBLE = 0
  
• _NEVER = 1
  

declared invalid value: -1

target

protected java.lang.String target

The node instance name if using direct communication, otherwise the instance name of the corresponding authorizer node for secure communication.

Length in characters, normal: 10 max: 80

gateway

protected java.lang.String gateway

The instance name of our local authorizer used as our gateway. If using direct communication, this field is ignored and should be left blank for clarity.
