All Known Implementing Classes:

SimpleAuthenticatedCaller

public interface Caller

A specification of the credentials of a client connecting to a repository. Used by InternalRepository.

Mirrors part of net.cnri.dobj.DOOperationContext.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	authenticateCaller() Returns true if the caller is authenticated.
boolean	authenticateCredential(java.lang.String credentialId) Returns true if the caller's credential is authenticated (e.g.
java.lang.String	getCallerId() Returns the id (handle) of the caller.
java.net.InetAddress	getClientAddress() Returns the internet address of the client.
java.lang.Object	getConnectionMapping(java.lang.Object mappingKey) Retrieve arbitrary information stored for the caller across multiple operations.
java.util.List<java.lang.String>	getCredentialIds() Returns a list of ids (such as groups) which the caller claims as credentials.
void	setConnectionMapping(java.lang.Object mappingKey, java.lang.Object mappingData) Store arbitrary information for the caller across multiple operations.

Method Detail

getClientAddress

java.net.InetAddress getClientAddress()

Returns the internet address of the client. Used at the repository end for logging.

getCallerId

java.lang.String getCallerId()

Returns the id (handle) of the caller.

authenticateCaller

boolean authenticateCaller()

Returns true if the caller is authenticated. This method can either perform the authentication, or can always return true if the authentication is guaranteed to be performed elsewhere.

getCredentialIds

java.util.List<java.lang.String> getCredentialIds()

Returns a list of ids (such as groups) which the caller claims as credentials.

authenticateCredential

boolean authenticateCredential(java.lang.String credentialId)

Returns true if the caller's credential is authenticated (e.g. a group membership is confirmed).

getConnectionMapping

java.lang.Object getConnectionMapping(java.lang.Object mappingKey)

Retrieve arbitrary information stored for the caller across multiple operations. Can be used internally to cache authentication information.

setConnectionMapping

void setConnectionMapping(java.lang.Object mappingKey,
                        java.lang.Object mappingData)

Store arbitrary information for the caller across multiple operations. Can be used internally to cache authentication information.
