Enclosing class:

AbstractHttpSessionModel

public class AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder
extends Base
implements Externalizable

An immutable object to hold attribute values and related information.

Constructor Summary

AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder()
Default constructor is required for deserialization purposes.

AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder(String sName, Object oValue)
Construct an AttributeHolder for a value.

Method Summary

protected void	flush() Called to flush the value to its data storage.
protected Object	getInternalValue() Obtain the internally managed object value.
String	getName() Determine the name of the attribute.
Object	getValue() Obtain the object form of the value.
boolean	isActivationListener() Determine if the value is an object that implements the HttpSessionActivationListener interface.
boolean	isBindingListener() Determine if the value is an object that implements the HttpSessionBindingListener interface.
boolean	isLocal() If a session distribution controller is used, and if the session is not local (is distributed), then this property specifies whether or not this specific attribute is managed locally.
protected boolean	isSuspect() Determine if the value needs to be serialized because it was never serialized or because it could have changed.
void	onBound(AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder holderOrig) Called when the attribute is bound.
void	onUnbound(boolean fReplaced) Called when the attribute is unbound.
protected void	prepareWrite() Called to test serialization; if the holder cannot serialize its value, it should throw an IOException at this point.
void	readExternal(DataInput in) Helper to read the object state from a stream.
void	readExternal(ObjectInput in) The object implements the readExternal method to restore its contents by calling the methods of DataInput for primitive types and readObject for objects, strings and arrays.
protected void	setInternalValue(Object oValue) Store the internally managed object value.
protected void	setLocal(boolean fLocal) Specify whether or not this attribute is managed locally.
protected void	setSuspect(boolean fSuspect) Toggle the suspect flag for the value.
void	writeExternal(DataOutput out) Helper to write the object state to a stream.
void	writeExternal(ObjectOutput out) The object implements the writeExternal method to save its contents by calling the methods of DataOutput for its primitive values or calling the writeObject method of ObjectOutput for objects, strings, and arrays.

Constructor Detail

AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder

public AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder()

Default constructor is required for deserialization purposes.

AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder

public AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder(String sName,
                                                Object oValue)

Construct an AttributeHolder for a value.

Parameters:

sName - the attribute name

oValue - the value of the attribute; not null

Method Detail

getName

public String getName()

Determine the name of the attribute.

Returns:

the attribute name managed by this holder

getValue

public Object getValue()

Obtain the object form of the value.

Returns:

the object form of the value

isActivationListener

public boolean isActivationListener()

Determine if the value is an object that implements the HttpSessionActivationListener interface.

Returns:

true if the value implements HttpSessionActivationListener

isBindingListener

public boolean isBindingListener()

Determine if the value is an object that implements the HttpSessionBindingListener interface.

Returns:

true if the value implements HttpSessionBindingListener

onBound

public void onBound(AbstractHttpSessionModel.AttributeHolder holderOrig)

Called when the attribute is bound.

Parameters:

holderOrig - the holder that this new bound holder is replacing, if any, otherwise null

onUnbound

public void onUnbound(boolean fReplaced)

Called when the attribute is unbound.

Parameters:

fReplaced - set to true of this is the result of a bind operation (so the holder is being replaced)

isLocal

public boolean isLocal()

If a session distribution controller is used, and if the session is not local (is distributed), then this property specifies whether or not this specific attribute is managed locally.

setLocal

protected void setLocal(boolean fLocal)

Specify whether or not this attribute is managed locally.

Note: an attribute could change from local to distributed if and only if a session distribution controller is used and the session is distributed. It could change from distributed to local only as a result of serialization failure when the attribute preservation feature is enabled.

flush

protected void flush()
              throws IOException

Called to flush the value to its data storage.

Throws:

IOException

getInternalValue

protected Object getInternalValue()

Obtain the internally managed object value.

Returns:

the cached object form of the value, or null if it has not been lazily deserialized

setInternalValue

protected void setInternalValue(Object oValue)

Store the internally managed object value.

Parameters:

oValue - the object form of the value

isSuspect

protected boolean isSuspect()

Determine if the value needs to be serialized because it was never serialized or because it could have changed.

Returns:

true if the holder's value has been accessed and is mutable

setSuspect

protected void setSuspect(boolean fSuspect)

Toggle the suspect flag for the value. Method provided to enable effective subclassing.

Parameters:

fSuspect - true if suspect, false otherwise

prepareWrite

protected void prepareWrite()
                     throws IOException

Called to test serialization; if the holder cannot serialize its value, it should throw an IOException at this point. Note that this method should only be called as part of the "write" processing for the model, as the holder will expect an immediate follow-up call to actually write itself out.

Throws:

IOException - if the holder cannot serialize its value

readExternal

public void readExternal(ObjectInput in)
                  throws IOException

The object implements the readExternal method to restore its contents by calling the methods of DataInput for primitive types and readObject for objects, strings and arrays. The readExternal method must read the values in the same sequence and with the same types as were written by writeExternal.

Specified by:

readExternal in interface Externalizable

Parameters:

in - the stream to read data from in order to restore the object

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(ObjectOutput out)
                   throws IOException

The object implements the writeExternal method to save its contents by calling the methods of DataOutput for its primitive values or calling the writeObject method of ObjectOutput for objects, strings, and arrays.

Specified by:

writeExternal in interface Externalizable

Parameters:

out - the stream to write the object to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

readExternal

public void readExternal(DataInput in)
                  throws IOException

Helper to read the object state from a stream.

Parameters:

in - the stream to read data from in order to restore the object

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs

writeExternal

public void writeExternal(DataOutput out)
                   throws IOException

Helper to write the object state to a stream.

Parameters:

out - the stream to write the object to

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs
