Interface ResourceAdaptorContext

public interface ResourceAdaptorContext

The ResourceAdaptorContext interface provides a resource adaptor object with access to SLEE Facilities and other capabilities and objects implemented by the SLEE on behalf of a Resource Adaptor.

A ResourceAdaptorContext object is given to a resource adaptor object after it is created via the setResourceAdaptorContext method. The ResourceAdaptorContext object remains associated with the resource adaptor object for the lifetime of that resource adaptor object.

Since:

SLEE 1.1

the SLEE transaction manager.

getTimer

java.util.Timer getTimer()

Get the shared Java timer that can be used to schedule timer tasks.

A Resource Adaptor is not permitted to use the Timer.cancel() method on the Timer object returned from this method. Attempting to do so will cause a java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException to be thrown.

This method is a non-transactional method.

Returns:

the shared Java timer.

getProfileTable

ProfileTable getProfileTable(java.lang.String profileTableName)
                             throws java.lang.NullPointerException,

                                    SLEEException

Get a ProfileTable object for a profile table. The object returned by this method may be safely typecast to the Profile Table interface defined by the profile specification of the profile table if the resource adaptor has the appropriate classes in its classloader to do so, for example by declaring a profile-spec-ref in its deployment descriptor for the profile specification of the Profile Table.

This method is a non-transactional method.

Parameters:

profileTableName - the name of the profile table.

Returns:

a ProfileTable object for the profile table.

This method can only be invoked by resource adaptor entities of a Resource Adaptor that defines a Usage Parameters Interface. If a resource adaptor entity of a Resource Adaptor that doesn't define a Usage Parameters Interface attempts to invoke this method, a NoUsageParametersInterfaceDefinedException is thrown.

This method is a non-transactional method.

Returns:

an object that implements the Usage Parameters Interface of the Resource Adaptor that represents the unnamed usage parameter set for the resource adaptor entity.

Throws:

NoUsageParametersInterfaceDefinedException - if the Resource Adaptor did not define a Usage Parameters Interface.

SLEEException - if the usage parameter set could not be obtained due to a system-level failure.

getUsageParameterSet

Get a named usage parameter set for the resource adaptor entity. The object returned by this method may be safely typecast to the Usage Parameters Interface defined by the Resource Adaptor.

This method can only be invoked by resource adaptor entities of a Resource Adaptor that defines a Usage Parameters Interface. If a resource adaptor entity of a Resource Adaptor that doesn't define a Usage Parameters Interface attempts to invoke this method, a NoUsageParametersInterfaceDefinedException is thrown.

This method is a non-transactional method.

Parameters:

paramSetName - the name of the usage parameter set to return.

Returns:

an object that implements the Usage Parameters Interface of the Resource Adaptor that represents the specified named usage parameter set for the resource adaptor entity.

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if paramSetName is null.

NoUsageParametersInterfaceDefinedException - if the Resource Adaptor did not define a Usage Parameters Interface.

UnrecognizedUsageParameterSetNameException - if the name does not identify a usage parameter set that has been created for the resource adaptor entity.

SLEEException - if the usage parameter set could not be obtained due to a system-level failure.

getInvokingService

ServiceID getInvokingService()

Get the service component identifier of the service currently being invoked by the SLEE in the current thread. The purpose of this method is to allow resource adaptors to determine which service an SBB belongs to when that SBB invokes a downcall on the resource adaptor, for example by invoking a method on the resource adaptor interface or on an activity object.

Returns:

the service component identifier of the service currently being invoked by the SLEE in the current thread, or null if there is no such service.
