package javax.management.relation;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.management.ObjectName;

This interface has to be implemented by any MBean class expected to represent a relation managed using the Relation Service.

Simple relations, i.e. having only roles, no properties or methods, can be created directly by the Relation Service (represented as RelationSupport objects, internally handled by the Relation Service).

If the user wants to represent more complex relations, involving properties and/or methods, he has to provide his own class implementing the Relation interface. This can be achieved either by inheriting from RelationSupport class, or by implementing the interface (fully or delegation to a RelationSupport object member).

Specifying such user relation class is to introduce properties and/or methods. Those have to be exposed for remote management. So this means that any user relation class must be a MBean class.

Since:1.5

Sets the given role.

Will check the role according to its corresponding role definition provided in relation's relation type

Will send a notification (RelationNotification with type RELATION_BASIC_UPDATE or RELATION_MBEAN_UPDATE, depending if the relation is a MBean or not).

Params:
  • role – role to be set (name and new value)
Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – if null role
  • RoleNotFoundException – if there is no role with the supplied role's name or if the role is not writable (no test on the write access mode performed when initializing the role)
  • InvalidRoleValueException – if value provided for role is not valid, i.e.:

    - the number of referenced MBeans in given value is less than expected minimum degree

    - the number of referenced MBeans in provided value exceeds expected maximum degree

    - one referenced MBean in the value is not an Object of the MBean class expected for that role

    - a MBean provided for that role does not exist.

  • RelationServiceNotRegisteredException – if the Relation Service is not registered in the MBean Server
  • RelationTypeNotFoundException – if the relation type has not been declared in the Relation Service.
  • RelationNotFoundException – if the relation has not been added in the Relation Service.

Callback used by the Relation Service when a MBean referenced in a role is unregistered.

The Relation Service will call this method to let the relation take action to reflect the impact of such unregistration.

BEWARE. the user is not expected to call this method.

Current implementation is to set the role with its current value (list of ObjectNames of referenced MBeans) without the unregistered one.

Params:
  • objectName – ObjectName of unregistered MBean
  • roleName – name of role where the MBean is referenced
