Interface WorkflowNamingService

All Superinterfaces:

com.connecterra.workflow.engine.api.WorkflowNamingService

public interface WorkflowNamingService
extends com.connecterra.workflow.engine.api.WorkflowNamingService

Interface to get to workflow related objects like workflow modules and serializers and deserializers for the different types.

This is typically instantiated and initialzed by the WorkflowManager.

This also extends com.connecterra.workflow.engine.api.WorkflowNamingService to support legacy workflow modules easily.

Method Summary

Set	listModules() Lists the names of all the workflow modules known to this naming service.
MessageSerializer	lookupCollectionSerializer(Class collectionClazz, Class clazz) Looks up serializer for a given class and for the given collection type.
MessageDeserializer	lookupDeserializer(String rootName, String namespace) Looks up deserializer for the given namespace and xml root element name.
WorkflowModulePlugin	lookupModule(String name) Looks up workflow module with the given name.
MessageSerializer	lookupSerializer(Class clazz) Looks up serializer for a given class.
void	register(String moduleInstanceName, Object moduleToBeRegistered) Deprecated. This method is provided only because the naming service needs to support legacy modules as well in the short term.
void	registerDeserializer(MessageDeserializer deserializer) Registers a deserializer with the naming service.
void	registerModule(WorkflowModulePlugin moduleToBeRegistered) Registers a workflow module with the naming service.
void	registerSerializer(MessageSerializer serializer) Registers the given serializer with the naming service.
void	unregister(String moduleInstanceName) Unregisters a workflow module.
void	unregisterDeserializer(MessageDeserializer deserializer) Unregisters deserializer from the naming service.
void	unregisterSerializer(MessageSerializer serializer) Unregisters the given serializer from the naming service.

Method Detail

register

void register(String moduleInstanceName,
              Object moduleToBeRegistered)

Deprecated. This method is provided only because the naming service needs to support legacy modules as well in the short term.

Interface to register legacy modules or new style modules.

Parameters:

moduleInstanceName - Name of the workflow module instance that is to be registered.

moduleToBeRegistered - The workflow module that is to be registered. This must be of type com.connecterra.workflow.engine.api.Module or WorkflowModulePlugin.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If an object that is not of type com.connecterra.workflow.engine.api.Module or WorkflowModulePlugin is passed in.

registerModule

void registerModule(WorkflowModulePlugin moduleToBeRegistered)

Registers a workflow module with the naming service.

Parameters:

moduleToBeRegistered - The workflow module that is to be registered.

unregister

void unregister(String moduleInstanceName)

Unregisters a workflow module.

Parameters:

moduleInstanceName - Name of the workflow module instance that is to be unregistered

lookupModule

WorkflowModulePlugin lookupModule(String name)

Looks up workflow module with the given name.

Parameters:

name - Name of the module that is being looked up.

Returns:

The workflow module with the given name. This will return null if a module by that name was not found.

listModules

Set listModules()

Lists the names of all the workflow modules known to this naming service.

Returns:

Set containing the names of all workflow modules. This will return an empty set if there are no modules registered with the service.

registerSerializer

void registerSerializer(MessageSerializer serializer)

Registers the given serializer with the naming service. This will overwrite any existing serializer for the same class that is handled by the this serializer.

Parameters:

serializer - Serializer that is to be registered with the service.

unregisterSerializer

void unregisterSerializer(MessageSerializer serializer)

Unregisters the given serializer from the naming service.

Parameters:

serializer - The serializer that should be unregistered from the naming service.

lookupSerializer

MessageSerializer lookupSerializer(Class clazz)

Looks up serializer for a given class.

Parameters:

clazz - The Class for which serializer is to be found.

Returns:

MessageSerializer for the given class. This will return null if there is no serializer registered for that class.

lookupCollectionSerializer

MessageSerializer lookupCollectionSerializer(Class collectionClazz,
                                             Class clazz)

Looks up serializer for a given class and for the given collection type.

Parameters:

collectionClazz - The collection class handled by the serializer.

clazz - The Class for which serializer is to be looked up.

Returns:

MessageSerializer for the given class. This will return null if there is no serializer registered for that class.

registerDeserializer

void registerDeserializer(MessageDeserializer deserializer)

Registers a deserializer with the naming service. This will overwrite any existing deserializer for the same xml root element and namespace as this deserializer.

Parameters:

deserializer - Deserializer that is to be registered.

unregisterDeserializer

void unregisterDeserializer(MessageDeserializer deserializer)

Unregisters deserializer from the naming service.

Parameters:

deserializer - Deserializer that is to be unregistered.

lookupDeserializer

MessageDeserializer lookupDeserializer(String rootName,
                                       String namespace)

Looks up deserializer for the given namespace and xml root element name.

Parameters:

rootName - The name of the XML root element

namespace - The namespace for the root. Use null if the root is in null namespace.

Returns:

MessageDeserializer for the given namespace and xml root element name.
