Interface EndpointResolver

public interface EndpointResolver
Implementations of this interface are responsible for mapping between abstract and concrete endpoint references, and/or renewing 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 Details

    • resolve

      EndpointReferenceType resolve(EndpointReferenceType logical)
      Retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.
      Parameters:
      logical - the abstract EPR to resolve
      Returns:
      the resolved concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

    • renew

      EndpointReferenceType renew(EndpointReferenceType logical, EndpointReferenceType physical)
      Force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
      Parameters:
      logical - the previously resolved abstract EPR
      physical - the concrete EPR to refresh
      Returns:
      the renewed concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

    • mint

      EndpointReferenceType mint(QName serviceName)
      Mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
      Parameters:
      serviceName -
      Returns:
      the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

    • mint

      EndpointReferenceType mint(EndpointReferenceType physical)
      Mint a new abstract EPR for a given concrete EPR
      Parameters:
      physical -
      Returns:
      the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
