Direct Known Subclasses:
MapRpcServer, StringRpcServer
public class RpcServer extends Object
Class which manages a request queue for a simple RPC-style service. The class is agnostic about the format of RPC arguments / return values.

  • Constructor Details

    • RpcServer

      public RpcServer(Channel channel) throws IOException
      Creates an RpcServer listening on a temporary exclusive autodelete queue.
      Throws:
      IOException

    • RpcServer

      public RpcServer(Channel channel, String queueName) throws IOException
      If the passed-in queue name is null, creates a server-named temporary exclusive autodelete queue to use; otherwise expects the queue to have already been declared.
      Throws:
      IOException

  • Method Details

    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Public API - cancels the consumer, thus deleting the queue, if it was a temporary queue, and marks the RpcServer as closed.
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error is encountered

    • setupConsumer

      protected QueueingConsumer setupConsumer() throws IOException
      Registers a consumer on the reply queue.
      Returns:
      the newly created and registered consumer
      Throws:
      IOException - if an error is encountered

    • mainloop

      public ShutdownSignalException mainloop() throws IOException
      Public API - main server loop. Call this to begin processing requests. Request processing will continue until the Channel (or its underlying Connection) is shut down, or until terminateMainloop() is called. Note that if the mainloop is blocked waiting for a request, the termination flag is not checked until a request is received, so a good time to call terminateMainloop() is during a request handler.
      Returns:
      the exception that signalled the Channel shutdown, or null for orderly shutdown
      Throws:
      IOException

    • terminateMainloop

      public void terminateMainloop()
      Call this method to terminate the mainloop. Note that if the mainloop is blocked waiting for a request, the termination flag is not checked until a request is received, so a good time to call terminateMainloop() is during a request handler.

    • processRequest

      public void processRequest(QueueingConsumer.Delivery request) throws IOException
      Private API - Process a single request. Called from mainloop().
      Throws:
      IOException

    • handleCall

      public byte[] handleCall(QueueingConsumer.Delivery request, AMQP.BasicProperties replyProperties)
      Lowest-level response method. Calls handleCall(AMQP.BasicProperties,byte[],AMQP.BasicProperties).

    • handleCall

      public byte[] handleCall(AMQP.BasicProperties requestProperties, byte[] requestBody, AMQP.BasicProperties replyProperties)
      Mid-level response method. Calls handleCall(byte[],AMQP.BasicProperties).

    • handleCall

      public byte[] handleCall(byte[] requestBody, AMQP.BasicProperties replyProperties)
      High-level response method. Returns an empty response by default - override this (or other handleCall and handleCast methods) in subclasses.

    • handleCast

      public void handleCast(QueueingConsumer.Delivery request)
      Lowest-level handler method. Calls handleCast(AMQP.BasicProperties,byte[]).

    • handleCast

      public void handleCast(AMQP.BasicProperties requestProperties, byte[] requestBody)
      Mid-level handler method. Calls handleCast(byte[]).

    • handleCast

      public void handleCast(byte[] requestBody)
      High-level handler method. Does nothing by default - override this (or other handleCast and handleCast methods) in subclasses.

    • getChannel

      public Channel getChannel()
      Retrieve the channel.
      Returns:
      the channel to which this server is connected

    • getQueueName

      public String getQueueName()
      Retrieve the queue name.
      Returns:
      the queue which this server is consuming from
