Class T3Client

java.lang.Object
  weblogic.common.T3Client

All Implemented Interfaces:

ClientCallback, weblogic.rjvm.PeerGoneListener

public final class T3Client
extends Object
implements weblogic.rjvm.PeerGoneListener, ClientCallback

Class for creating and managing T3Clients. A T3Client must be constructed with the URL of the WebLogic Server that it will connect to. A T3Client may access many services within WebLogic.

The URL for constructing the T3Client follows the pattern:

 scheme://WebLogicHost:port

• t3:// for standard T3Client-to-WebLogic communications
• t3s:// for secure T3Client-to-WebLogic communications using WebLogic SSL
• http:// for HTTP tunneling over port 80, for transfirewall T3Client-to-WebLogic communications

A T3Client has a Workspace inside the WebLogic Server that can be named and saved, so that the T3Client can disconnect and then return later to the same Workspace. The T3Client Workspace is at the lowest level of a hierarchy of Workspaces that exist for WebLogic Clusters, WebLogic Servers, T3Users and groups, and T3Clients. T3Clients can set various timeouts to control disconnects from the WebLogic Server; a T3Client can also add entries to the WebLogic logfile, and can store and fetch arbitrary objects from its own Workspace or the other Workspaces within its access.

DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT

public static final int DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT_DEFAULT

The default DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT value set in the server configuration.

Constant Field Values

DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT_NEVER

public static final int DISCONNECT_TIMEOUT_NEVER

Disables disconnect altogether. Setting a soft disconnect timeout of "never" keeps WebLogic from cleaning up (destroying) a T3Client's resources in the WebLogic Server, including its Workspace.

Constant Field Values

services

public T3ServicesDef services

Defines the WebLogic services that a T3Client can access. It is used to access the object factory for a WebLogic service or facility. This example shows how a T3Client accesses WebLogic Remote computing services (T3Servlets). First the client requests a T3Servlet object from the object factory for that facility. Then it executes it inside WebLogic. In this example, the class pathname of the T3Servlet is "tutorial.t3client.StartupQuery" and the T3Client is "t3". The ParamSet for the T3Servlet is "ps".

   T3ServletDef t3s =
     t3.services.remote().getT3Servlet("tutorial.t3client.StartupQuery");
   t3s.execute(ps);

T3Client

public T3Client(T3Connection conn,
                String workspace)

Creates a T3Client object, given an existing T3Connection and Workspace name. The T3Connection represents other information necessary for the client to gain access to the WebLogic Server, including the WebLogic host and port and a UserInfo username and password.

The Workspace is the name or ID of an existing Workspace; if there is no Workspace on the WebLogic Server with that name or ID, the argument is assumed to be the name of a new T3Client Workspace that is to be created. When you specify the name of a Workspace on the WebLogic Server, that name is implicitly qualified on the left by the UserInfo's username, after the pattern "username:workspaceName".

Parameters:

conn - T3Connection

workspace - Name or ID of a client workspace

T3Client

public T3Client(T3Connection conn)

Constructs a T3Client over the specified T3Connection. The T3Connection represents other information necessary for the client to gain access to the WebLogic Server, including the WebLogic host and port and a UserInfo username and password.

Parameters:

conn - T3Connection to a WebLogic Server

T3Client

public T3Client(String url,
                String workspace,

         throws UnknownHostException,
                T3Exception,
                IOException

Constructs a T3Client. The WebLogic URL should follow the pattern "t3://WebLogicHost:port", where the WebLogicHost is the host name of the WebLogic Server, and the port is the TCP port over which the WebLogic Server is listening for T3Client connections (defaults to port 80, if no port number is provided).

The Workspace is the name or ID of an existing Workspace; if there is no Workspace on the WebLogic Server with that name or ID, the argument is assumed to be the name of a new T3Client Workspace that is to be created. When you specify the name of a Workspace on WebLogic, that name is implicitly qualified on the left by the UserInfo's username, after the pattern "username:workspaceName".

Parameters:

url - URL for the WebLogic Server

workspace - Name or ID of a client Workspace

t3u - A UserInfo that has access to the WebLogic Server

Throws:

UnknownHostException - if the URL for the WebLogic Server is invalid

weblogic.common.T3Exception - if there is an error creating the T3Client

IOException - if there is an IO error with the connection

addDisconnectListener

public void addDisconnectListener(DisconnectListener dl)

Adds a T3Client to the list of those clients listening for a DisconnectEvent.

Parameters:

dl - DisconnectListener

removeDisconnectListener

public void removeDisconnectListener(DisconnectListener dl)

Removes a T3Client from the list of those clients listening for a DisconnectEvent.

Parameters:

dl - DisconnectListener

disconnect

public T3Client disconnect()
                    throws IOException,
                           T3Exception

Disconnects a T3Client from the WebLogic Server. Calling disconnect invokes a soft disconnect. A T3Client's resources inside WebLogic will be cleaned up (destroyed) when the soft disconnect timeout expires. Setting the disconnect timeout to never effectively prevents WebLogic from disposing of the T3Client's resources.

Check the Developers Guide, Writing a T3Client application, in the WebLogic Server documentation, for info on how to set up a T3Client to listen for its own disconnect event. A T3Client can listen for a disconnect event that is the result of a soft or idle disconnect timeout.

Returns:

T3Client

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

weblogic.common.T3Exception - if there is an error with the disconnect request

T3Exception
