Method Detail

getRepository

public Repository getRepository(String url)
                         throws MalformedURLException,
                                NotBoundException,
                                ClassCastException,
                                RemoteException

Returns a client wrapper for a remote content repository. The remote repository is looked up from the RMI registry using the given URL by the returned SafeClientRepository instance.

The current implementation of this method will not throw any of the declared exceptions (because of the SafeClientRepository being used), but the throws clauses are kept for backwards compatibility and potential future use. Clients should be prepared to handle exceptions from this method.

Parameters:

url - the RMI URL of the remote repository

Returns:

repository client

Throws:

MalformedURLException - if the given URL is malfored

NotBoundException - if the given URL points to nothing

ClassCastException - if the given URL points to something unknown

RemoteException - if the remote repository can not be accessed

getObjectInstance

public Object getObjectInstance(Object object,
                                Name name,
                                Context context,
                                Hashtable environment)

JNDI factory method for creating JCR-RMI clients. Creates a lazy client repository instance that uses the reference parameter "url" as the RMI URL where the remote repository is looked up when accessed.

Specified by:

getObjectInstance in interface ObjectFactory

Parameters:

object - reference parameters

name - unused

context - unused

environment - unused

Returns:

repository client
