Closeable, AutoCloseable

public class DirectConnection
extends AbstractConnection

Handles a peer to peer connection between two applications without a bus daemon.

Signal Handlers and method calls from remote objects are run in their own threads, you MUST handle the concurrency issues.

Method Details

listen

public void listen()
            throws IOException

Use this method when running on server side.

Call will block.

Overrides:

listen in class AbstractConnectionBase

Throws:

IOException - when connection fails

getRemoteObject

public DBusInterface getRemoteObject(String _objectPath)
                              throws DBusException

Return a reference to a remote object. This method will always refer to the well known name (if given) rather than resolving it to a unique bus name. In particular this means that if a process providing the well known name disappears and is taken over by another process proxy objects gained by this method will make calls on the new proccess. This method will use bus introspection to determine the interfaces on a remote object and so may block and may fail. The resulting proxy object will, however, be castable to any interface it implements. It will also autostart the process if applicable. Also note that the resulting proxy may fail to execute the correct method with overloaded methods and that complex types may fail in interesting ways. Basically, if something odd happens, try specifying the interface explicitly.

Parameters:

_objectPath - The path on which the process is exporting the object.

Returns:

A reference to a remote object.

Throws:

ClassCastException - If type is not a sub-type of DBusInterface

DBusException - If busname or objectpath are incorrectly formatted.

getRemoteObject

public <T extends DBusInterface> T getRemoteObject(String _objectPath,
 Class<T> _type)
                                            throws DBusException

Return a reference to a remote object. This method will always refer to the well known name (if given) rather than resolving it to a unique bus name. In particular this means that if a process providing the well known name disappears and is taken over by another process proxy objects gained by this method will make calls on the new proccess.

Type Parameters:

T - class which extends DBusInterface

Parameters:

_objectPath - The path on which the process is exporting the object.

_type - The interface they are exporting it on. This type must have the same full class name and exposed method signatures as the interface the remote object is exporting.

Returns:

A reference to a remote object.

Throws:

MissingInterfaceImplementationException - If type is not a sub-type of DBusInterface

InvalidObjectPathException - If busname or objectpath are invalid

DBusException

removeSigHandler

public <T extends DBusSignal> void removeSigHandler(DBusMatchRule _rule,
 DBusSigHandler<T> _handler)
                                             throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnection

Remove a match rule with the given DBusSigHandler. The rule will only be removed from DBus if no other additional handlers are registered to the same rule.

Specified by:

removeSigHandler in class AbstractConnection

Type Parameters:

T - signal type

Parameters:

_rule - rule to remove

_handler - handler to remove

Throws:

DBusException - on error

addSigHandler

public <T extends DBusSignal> AutoCloseable addSigHandler(DBusMatchRule _rule,
 DBusSigHandler<T> _handler)
                                                   throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnection

Add a signal handler with the given DBusMatchRule to DBus. The rule will be added to DBus if it was not added before. If the rule was already added, the signal handler is added to the internal map receiving the same signal as the first (and additional) handlers for this rule.

Specified by:

addSigHandler in class AbstractConnection

Type Parameters:

T - signal type

Parameters:

_rule - rule to add

_handler - handler to use

Returns:

closeable that removes signal handler

Throws:

DBusException - on error

removeGenericSigHandler

protected void removeGenericSigHandler(DBusMatchRule _rule,
 DBusSigHandler<DBusSignal> _handler)
                                throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnection

Remove a generic signal handler with the given DBusMatchRule. The rule will only be removed from DBus if no other additional handlers are registered to the same rule.

Specified by:

removeGenericSigHandler in class AbstractConnection

Parameters:

_rule - rule to remove

_handler - handler to remove

Throws:

DBusException - on error

addGenericSigHandler

protected AutoCloseable addGenericSigHandler(DBusMatchRule _rule,
 DBusSigHandler<DBusSignal> _handler)
                                      throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnection

Adds a DBusMatchRule to with a generic signal handler. Generic signal handlers allow receiving different signals with the same handler. If the rule was already added, the signal handler is added to the internal map receiving the same signal as the first (and additional) handlers for this rule.

Specified by:

addGenericSigHandler in class AbstractConnection

Parameters:

_rule - rule to add

_handler - handler to use

Returns:

closeable that removes signal handler

Throws:

DBusException - on error

 String _path,
 Class<T> _type)
                                              throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnectionBase

Retrieves an remote object using source and path. Will use the given type as object class.

Specified by:

getExportedObject in class AbstractConnectionBase

Parameters:

_source - source

_path - path

_type - class of remote object

Returns:

DBusInterface compatible object

Throws:

DBusException

getMachineId

public String getMachineId()

Description copied from class: AbstractConnectionBase

The generated UUID of this machine.

Specified by:

getMachineId in class AbstractConnectionBase

Returns:

String

getExportedObject

public DBusInterface getExportedObject(String _source,
 String _path)
                                throws DBusException

Description copied from class: AbstractConnectionBase

Retrieves an remote object using source and path. Will try to find suitable exported DBusInterface automatically.

Specified by:

getExportedObject in class AbstractConnectionBase

Parameters:

_source - source

_path - path

Returns:

DBusInterface compatible object

Throws:

DBusException
