Interface EndpointResolver

public interface EndpointResolver

Implementations of this interface are responsible for mapping between abstract and concrete endpoint references, and/or renewing stale references.

An underlying mechanism in the style of the OGSA WS-Naming specification is assumed, where an EPR maybe be fully abstract, or concrete but with sufficient information embedded to enable its renewal if necessary.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType	mint(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical) Mint a new abstract EPR for a given concrete EPR
org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType	mint(QName serviceName) Mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.
org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType	renew(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical, org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical) Force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.
org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType	resolve(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical) Retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.

Method Detail

resolve

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType resolve(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical)

Retrieve a concrete EPR corresponding to the given abstract EPR, returning a cached reference if already resolved.

Parameters:

logical - the abstract EPR to resolve

Returns:

the resolved concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

renew

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType renew(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType logical,
                                                         org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)

Force a fresh resolution of the given abstract EPR, discarding any previously cached reference.

Parameters:

logical - the previously resolved abstract EPR

physical - the concrete EPR to refresh

Returns:

the renewed concrete EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

mint

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(QName serviceName)

Mint a new abstract EPR for a given service name.

Parameters:

serviceName -

Returns:

the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise

mint

org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType mint(org.apache.cxf.ws.addressing.EndpointReferenceType physical)

Mint a new abstract EPR for a given concrete EPR

Parameters:

physical -

Returns:

the newly minted EPR if appropriate, null otherwise
