Class OncRpcReplyMessage

java.lang.Object
  org.acplt.oncrpc.OncRpcMessage
      org.acplt.oncrpc.OncRpcReplyMessage

Direct Known Subclasses:

OncRpcClientReplyMessage, OncRpcServerReplyMessage

public abstract class OncRpcReplyMessage
extends OncRpcMessage

The OncRpcReplyMessage class represents an ONC/RPC reply message as defined by ONC/RPC in RFC 1831. Such messages are sent back by ONC/RPC to servers to clients and contain (in case of real success) the result of a remote procedure call.

The decision to define only one single class for the accepted and rejected replies was driven by the motivation not to use polymorphism and thus have to upcast and downcast references all the time.

The derived classes are only provided for convinience on the server side.

int	authStatus Contains the reason for authentification failure in the case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_AUTH_ERROR.
int	highVersion Highest supported version in case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_RPC_MISMATCH and OncRpcAcceptStatus.ONCRPC_PROG_MISMATCH.
int	lowVersion Lowest supported version in case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_RPC_MISMATCH and OncRpcAcceptStatus.ONCRPC_PROG_MISMATCH.
int	rejectStatus Rejectance status in case this reply sent in response to a rejected call (OncRpcReplyStatus.ONCRPC_MSG_DENIED).
int	replyStatus The reply status of the reply message.
static int	UNUSED_PARAMETER Dummy, which can be used to identify unused parameters when constructing OncRpcReplyMessage objects.

Field Detail

replyStatus

public int replyStatus

The reply status of the reply message. This can be either OncRpcReplyStatus.ONCRPC_MSG_ACCEPTED or OncRpcReplyStatus.ONCRPC_MSG_DENIED. Depending on the value of this field, other fields of an instance of OncRpcReplyMessage become important.

The decision to define only one single class for the accepted and rejected replies was driven by the motivation not to use polymorphism and thus have to upcast and downcast references all the time.

acceptStatus

public int acceptStatus

Acceptance status in case this reply was sent in response to an accepted call (OncRpcReplyStatus.ONCRPC_MSG_ACCEPTED). This field can take any of the values defined in the OncRpcAcceptStatus interface.

Note that even for accepted calls that only in the case of OncRpcAcceptStatus.ONCRPC_SUCCESS result data will follow the reply message header.

rejectStatus

public int rejectStatus

Rejectance status in case this reply sent in response to a rejected call (OncRpcReplyStatus.ONCRPC_MSG_DENIED). This field can take any of the values defined in the OncRpcRejectStatus interface.

lowVersion

public int lowVersion

Lowest supported version in case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_RPC_MISMATCH and OncRpcAcceptStatus.ONCRPC_PROG_MISMATCH.

highVersion

public int highVersion

Highest supported version in case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_RPC_MISMATCH and OncRpcAcceptStatus.ONCRPC_PROG_MISMATCH.

authStatus

public int authStatus

Contains the reason for authentification failure in the case of OncRpcRejectStatus.ONCRPC_AUTH_ERROR.

UNUSED_PARAMETER

public static final int UNUSED_PARAMETER

Dummy, which can be used to identify unused parameters when constructing OncRpcReplyMessage objects.

Constructor Detail

OncRpcReplyMessage

public OncRpcReplyMessage()

Initializes a new OncRpcReplyMessage object to represent an invalid state. This default constructor should only be used if in the next step the real state of the reply message is immediately decoded from a XDR stream.

OncRpcReplyMessage

public OncRpcReplyMessage(OncRpcCallMessage call,
                          int replyStatus,
                          int acceptStatus,
                          int rejectStatus,
                          int lowVersion,
                          int highVersion,
                          int authStatus)

Initializes a new OncRpcReplyMessage object and initializes its complete state from the given parameters.

Note that depending on the reply, acceptance and rejectance status some parameters are unused and can be specified as UNUSED_PARAMETER.

Parameters:

call - The ONC/RPC call this reply message corresponds to.

replyStatus - The reply status (see OncRpcReplyStatus).

acceptStatus - The acceptance state (see OncRpcAcceptStatus).

rejectStatus - The rejectance state (see OncRpcRejectStatus).

lowVersion - lowest supported version.

highVersion - highest supported version.

authStatus - The autentication state (see OncRpcAuthStatus).
