Method Detail

createReturnCallParameter

public SBServiceCallParameter createReturnCallParameter(java.lang.reflect.Method method)

createReturnCallParameters creates WebServiceCall parameters from a Java method

Specified by:

createReturnCallParameter in interface WebServiceProvider

Parameters:

method - a Method value to create the return parameter for.

Returns:

a SBServiceCallParameter that represents the return parameter type for the Java method

See Also:

SBServiceCallParameter

createFormalParameters

public java.util.Vector createFormalParameters(java.lang.reflect.Method method)

createFormalParameters takes a method and generates a WebServiceCallParamter for each entry parameter for the given Java method.

Specified by:

createFormalParameters in interface WebServiceProvider

Parameters:

method - a Method value to generate call parameters for

Returns:

a Vector value of all the SBServiceCallParameters for the given method

See Also:

SBServiceCallParameter

createCallDescriptors

public void createCallDescriptors(SBServiceDescriptor serviceDescriptor,
                                  java.lang.reflect.Method[] methods)

createCallDescriptors converts Java methods to service call descriptors and ads them to a given web service descriptor

Parameters:

serviceDescriptor - a SBServiceDescriptor value to add the methods to

methods - a Method[] of methods to convert to web service call descriptors

loadAllServices

public void loadAllServices()

loadAllServices loads all the services available on the web server. developers: classes who extend AbstractProvider must set services loaded to true loadAllServices will not be called by jockey for now -- providers must lazy init...

Specified by:

loadAllServices in interface WebServiceProvider

See Also:

setServicesLoaded

invoke

public SBServiceCall invoke(SBServiceCall serviceCall,
                            SBAbstractServiceInstance serviceInstance)

Invokes a method on a web service

Specified by:

invoke in interface WebServiceProvider

getProvidedServices

public java.util.Vector getProvidedServices()

get all of the services on this web service provider

Specified by:

getProvidedServices in interface WebServiceProvider

Returns:

a vector of SBServiceDescriptors that are available

checkAndLoadServices

protected void checkAndLoadServices()

setServicesLoaded

protected void setServicesLoaded(boolean servicesLoaded)

areServicesLoaded

protected boolean areServicesLoaded()

createDescriptorsForServices

protected void createDescriptorsForServices(java.lang.String[] serviceNames)

createDescriptorsForServices reads all of the services on the web server and creates SBServiceDescriptors (which Jockey understands) for them. So it generates common descriptions for the various web services from different providers and implementations.

Parameters:

serviceNames - a String[] value

SBServiceDescriptor

addService

protected void addService(SBServiceDescriptor descriptor)

add a service descriptor to our local collection
