Method Details

getInstanceId

InstanceId getInstanceId()

Gets the InstanceId represented by this InstanceConnectionService.InstanceConnection. The value here is stored locally and does not require a connection to the network. Therefore it is still safe to call this method after the remote end disconnects.

Returns:

the InstanceId for the connection

getInstanceMetadataContext

InstanceMetadataContext getInstanceMetadataContext()

Get the InstanceMetadataContext associated with the remote instance. This will be a remote proxy for the instance and will not be available after a call to disconnect() is made.

Returns:

the InstanceMetadataContext

openRouteToNode

String openRouteToNode(NodeId nodeId)

Opens a route to the supplied node with NodeId, returning an address where it will be possible to connect using a RemoteInvoker.

Parameters:

nodeId -

Returns:

disconnect

void disconnect()

Disconnects and disposes of the underlying InstanceConnectionService.InstanceConnection. Trying to use the InstanceMetadataContext belonging to this connection will fail immediately.
