Interface RemoteSession

All Known Implementing Classes:

JschSession

public interface RemoteSession

Create a remote "session" for executing remote commands.

Clients should subclass RemoteSession to create an alternate way for JGit to execute remote commands. (The client application may already have this functionality available.) Note that this class is just a factory for creating remote processes. If the application already has a persistent connection to the remote machine, RemoteSession may do nothing more than return a new RemoteProcess when exec is called.

Method Summary

void	disconnect() Disconnect the remote session
Process	exec(String commandName, int timeout) Generate a new remote process to execute the given command.

Method Detail

exec

Process exec(String commandName,
             int timeout)
             throws IOException

Generate a new remote process to execute the given command. This function should also start execution and may need to create the streams prior to execution.

Parameters:

commandName - command to execute

timeout - timeout value, in seconds, for command execution

Returns:

a new remote process

Throws:

IOException - may be thrown in several cases. For example, on problems opening input or output streams or on problems connecting or communicating with the remote host. For the latter two cases, a TransportException may be thrown (a subclass of IOException).

disconnect

void disconnect()

Disconnect the remote session
