Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
ACKNOWLEDGED Immediately send the request to the remote endpoint and wait for acknowledgement that it was received.
EVENTUAL Send the request to the remote endpoint, but don't immediately flush the channel.
IMMEDIATE Send the request to the remote endpoint and immediately flush the channel.
REQUEST_REPLY Mode applicable to Pipes which more efficiently uses network resources than a fully bidirectional pipe.

Enum Constant Detail

EVENTUAL

public static final CallMode EVENTUAL

Send the request to the remote endpoint, but don't immediately flush the channel. If asynchronous method uses a Pipe, flushing the pipe ensures the request is immediately sent. Otherwise, the request is eventually sent when the channel is reused or the session is flushed.

IMMEDIATE

public static final CallMode IMMEDIATE

Send the request to the remote endpoint and immediately flush the channel. This is the default Asynchronous calling mode.

ACKNOWLEDGED

public static final CallMode ACKNOWLEDGED

Immediately send the request to the remote endpoint and wait for acknowledgement that it was received.

REQUEST_REPLY

public static final CallMode REQUEST_REPLY

Mode applicable to Pipes which more efficiently uses network resources than a fully bidirectional pipe. Selecting this call mode for an ordinary method is equivalent to selecting immediate mode.

Method Detail

values

public static CallMode[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (CallMode c : CallMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static CallMode valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
