Interface RemoteSession

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Subinterfaces:

RemoteXASession

All Known Implementing Classes:

ServerSession, ServerXASession

public interface RemoteSession
extends Remote

Remote version of the JCR Session interface. Used by the ServerSession and ClientSession adapters to provide transparent RMI access to remote sessions.

Most of the methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a corresponding Session method. In these cases the remote object will simply forward the method call to the underlying Session instance. Complex return values like workspaces and other objects are returned as remote references to the corresponding remote interface. Simple return values and possible exceptions are simply copied over the network to the client. RMI errors are signaled with RemoteExceptions.
