Specified by:

getRemoteService in interface IRemoteServiceConsumer

Specified by:

getRemoteService in interface IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter

Parameters:

ref - the IRemoteServiceReference for the desired service. Must not be null .

Returns:

Description copied from interface: IRemoteServiceConsumer

Returns an array of IRemoteServiceReference objects. The returned array of IRemoteServiceReference objects contains services that were registered under the specified class and match the specified idFilter, and filter criteria.

Note this method assumes that the enclosing container has previously been connected, and uses the idFilter to filter among targets within the previously connected set of container IDs. To request connection as part of reference lookup, see IRemoteServiceConsumer.getRemoteServiceReferences(ID, String, String).

The list is valid at the time of the call to this method, however since the Framework is a very dynamic environment, services can be modified or unregistered at anytime.

idFilter is used to select a registered services that were registered by a given set of containers with id in idFilter. Only services exposed by a container with id in idFilter will be returned.

If idFilter is null, all containers are considered to match the filter.

filter is used to select the registered service whose properties objects contain keys and values which satisfy the filter. See Filter for a description of the filter string syntax.

If filter is null, all registered services are considered to match the filter. If filter cannot be parsed, an InvalidSyntaxException will be thrown with a human readable message where the filter became unparsable.

Specified by:

getRemoteServiceReferences in interface IRemoteServiceConsumer

Parameters:

idFilter - an array of ID instances that will restrict the search for matching container ids If null, all remote containers will be considered in search for matching IRemoteServiceReference instances. May be null.

clazz - the fully qualified name of the interface class that describes the desired service. Must not be null.

filter - The filter criteria. May be null.

Returns:

Array of IRemoteServiceReferences matching given search criteria or null if no services are found that match the search.

Throws:

org.osgi.framework.InvalidSyntaxException - If filter contains an invalid filter string that cannot be parsed.

ungetRemoteService

public boolean ungetRemoteService(IRemoteServiceReference ref)

Description copied from interface: IRemoteServiceConsumer

Unget IRemoteServiceReference. Release all resources associated with the given IRemoteServiceReference. This method should be called by users of the IRemoteServiceReference that have previously called IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter.getRemoteService(IRemoteServiceReference). If this method returns true, then the previously used IRemoteService will no longer be usable.

To request connection as part of reference lookup, see IRemoteServiceConsumer.getRemoteServiceReferences(ID, String, String).

The IFuture is returned immediately, and subsequent calls to IFuture.get() or IFuture.get(long) will return the actual results received. The type of the Object returned from IFuture.get() will be IRemoteServiceReference [].

The list is valid at the time of the call to this method, however since the Framework is a very dynamic environment, services can be modified or unregistered at anytime.

idFilter is used to select a registered services that were registered by a given set of containers with id in idFilter. Only services exposed by a container with id in idFilter will be returned.

If idFilter is null, all containers are considered to match the filter.

Description copied from interface: IRemoteServiceConsumer

Asynchronously returns an array of IRemoteServiceReference objects. The returned array of IRemoteServiceReference objects contains services that were registered under the specified class and match the specified idFilter, and filter criteria.

The IFuture is returned immediately, and subsequent calls to IFuture.get() or IFuture.get(long) will return the actual results received. The type of the Object returned from IFuture.get() will be IRemoteServiceReference [].

The list is valid at the time of the call to this method, however since the Framework is a very dynamic environment, services can be modified or unregistered at anytime.

target is a remote container to connect to. If null, no connection attempt is made.

idFilter is used to select a registered services that were registered by a given set of containers with id in idFilter. Only services exposed by a container with id in idFilter will be returned. If idFilter is null, all containers are considered to match the filter.

filter is used to select the registered service whose properties objects contain keys and values which satisfy the filter. See Filter for a description of the filter string syntax. If filter is null, all registered services are considered to match the filter. If filter cannot be parsed, an InvalidSyntaxException will be thrown with a human readable message where the filter became unparsable.

asyncGetRemoteServiceReferences in interface IRemoteServiceConsumer

Specified by:

asyncGetRemoteServiceReferences in interface IRemoteServiceContainerAdapter

Parameters:

target - an target to connect to if enclosing container is not already connected. May be null.

idFilter - an array of ID instances that will restrict the search for matching container ids If null, all remote containers will be considered in search for matching IRemoteServiceReference instances. May be null.

clazz - the fully qualified name of the interface class that describes the desired service. Must not be null.

filter - The filter criteria. May be null.

Returns:

IFuture that through subsequent calls to IFuture#get() will return IRemoteServiceReference [] with IRemoteServiceReferences matching given search criteria. Will not return null.
