Interface RMIFailureHandler

public interface RMIFailureHandler

An RMIFailureHandler can be registered via the RMISocketFactory.setFailureHandler call. The failure method of the handler is invoked when the RMI runtime is unable to create a ServerSocket to listen for incoming calls. The failure method returns a boolean indicating whether the runtime should attempt to re-create the ServerSocket.

Since:

JDK1.1

Methods

failure

boolean failure(Exception ex)

The failure callback is invoked when the RMI runtime is unable to create a ServerSocket via the RMISocketFactory. An RMIFailureHandler is registered via a call to RMISocketFacotry.setFailureHandler. If no failure handler is installed, the default behavior is to attempt to re-create the ServerSocket.

Parameters:

ex - the exception that occurred during ServerSocket creation

Returns:

if true, the RMI runtime attempts to retry ServerSocket creation
