public interface VendorExtensions

The VendorExtensions interface provides a means for SLEE vendors to incorporate additional data into various SLEE object types used by SLEE managament clients, without requiring extensions to the SLEE API. A SLEE vendor that includes vendor-specific data in the SLEE objects it generates for clients should clearly document the type and structure of the data.

Serialization and deserialization of vendor-specific data is controlled by the following static methods declared on the classes that implement this interface:

• public static void enableVendorDataSerialization() { ... }
• public static void disableVendorDataSerialization() { ... }

  These methods enable and disable the serialization of vendor-specific data. They are typically used by a SLEE implementation to control the export of the vendor-specific data.

• public static void enableVendorDataDeserialization() { ... }
• public static void disableVendorDataDeserialization() { ... }

  These methods enable and disable the deserialization of vendor-specific data. They are typically used by management clients to control the import of the vendor-specific data.

By default, both serialization and deserialization of vendor-specific data is disabled for all classes.

Since:

SLEE 1.1
