Method Detail

setLogWriter

public static void setLogWriter(PrintWriter out)

Sets the logging/tracing PrintWriter object that is used by the RhinoConnectionFactory and all connections.

To log debugging information to standard out, use the following:

    RhinoConnectionFactory.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(System.out, true));
       

Note the second parameter to the PrintWriter constructor (true) -- if this is not supplied, no output will be displayed until the PrintWriter's buffer is full, which is generally not the desired behaviour.

To log to a Log4J logger, you could do this:

    class LogWriter extends Writer {
        public void write(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) {
            String s = new String(cbuf, off, len);
            if(!lineSep.equals(s)) log.info(s);
        }
        public void flush() { }
        public void close() { }
        private final String lineSep = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    }
    RhinoConnectionFactory.setLogWriter(new PrintWriter(new LogWriter()));
       

Parameters:

out - the new logging/tracing PrintWriter object; null to disable logging and tracing

getLogWriter

public static PrintWriter getLogWriter()

Retrieves the log writer.

Returns:

a java.io.PrintWriter object

setRhinoSslProperties

public static void setRhinoSslProperties(Properties sslProps)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Set the SSL properties. The values will be used by the RhinoSslRMIClientSocketFactory to create a custom TrustManagerFactory and KeyManagerFactory which support reloadable keystores.

Note: This feature will only work when connecting to Rhino 2.2 or later.

If connecting to an earlier version of Rhino, you must use RhinoSsl.checkSslProperties(java.util.Properties) instead, and note that keystore files will only be read once.

Both SSL mechanisms can be used simultaneously: connections to Rhino 2.2+ nodes will use these settings, and connections to older Rhino instances will use the settings provided to RhinoSsl.checkSslProperties(java.util.Properties).

Parameters:

sslProps - a properties object containing properties with names of the String constant values RHINO_TRUSTSTORE_ATTRIBUTE, RHINO_TRUSTSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE, RHINO_KEYSTORE_ATTRIBUTE and RHINO_KEYSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Since:

2.2

setRhinoSslProperties

public static void setRhinoSslProperties(Properties sslProps,
                         boolean useJavaxSslProperties)
                                  throws IllegalArgumentException

Set the SSL properties. The values will be used by the RhinoSslRMIClientSocketFactory to create a custom TrustManagerFactory and KeyManagerFactory which support reloadable keystores.

Note: This feature will only work when connecting to Rhino 2.2 or later.

If connecting to an earlier version of Rhino, you must use RhinoSsl.checkSslProperties(java.util.Properties) instead, and note that keystore files will only be read once.

Both SSL mechanisms can be used simultaneously: connections to Rhino 2.2+ nodes will use these settings, and connections to older Rhino instances will use the settings provided to RhinoSsl.checkSslProperties(java.util.Properties).

Note: The useJavaxSslProperties flag affects which properties are used.

Parameters:

sslProps - A properties object containing the SSL properties to use. When the boolean useJavaxSslProperties is true, this method uses properties with names of the String constant values RhinoSsl.JAVAXSSL_TRUSTSTORE_ATTRIBUTE, RhinoSsl.JAVAXSSL_TRUSTSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE, RhinoSsl.JAVAXSSL_KEYSTORE_ATTRIBUTE and RhinoSsl.JAVAXSSL_KEYSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE. This is useful when reading SSL properties from a Rhino client.properties file. When useJavaxSslProperties is false, it uses properties with names of the String constant values RHINO_TRUSTSTORE_ATTRIBUTE, RHINO_TRUSTSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE, RHINO_KEYSTORE_ATTRIBUTE and RHINO_KEYSTOREPASS_ATTRIBUTE.

useJavaxSslProperties - Controls which properties in sslProps are read from (see sslProps above).

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

Since:

2.4

connect

public static RhinoConnection connect(File propertiesFile)
                               throws ConnectionException

Create a Rhino client using connection properties in the given properties file.

The names of the properties are defined by the constant field values of this class.

If both a server list and a host/port are in the properties, the server list takes precedence.

If the target Rhino server requires SSL, the properties file must contain SSL properties if they have not been set as system properties prior to calling this method. The names of the SSL properties are defined by the constant field values in the RhinoSsl class.

Parameters:

propertiesFile - a file containing server address properties, authentication credential properties, and SSL properties (if not set as system properties)

Returns:

a RhinoConnection instance

Throws:

ConnectionException - if none of the provided servers could be reached

connect

public static RhinoConnection connect(Properties properties)
                               throws ConnectionException

Create a Rhino client using connection properties in the given properties object.

The names of the properties are defined by the constant field values of this class.

If both a server list and a host/port are in the properties, the server list takes precedence.

If the target Rhino server requires SSL, the properties object must contain SSL properties if they have not been set as system properties prior to calling this method. The names of the SSL properties are defined by the constant field values in the RhinoSsl class.

Parameters:

properties - a properties object containing server address properties, authentication credential properties, and SSL properties (if not set as system properties)

Returns:

a RhinoConnection instance

Throws:

ConnectionException - if none of the provided servers could be reached
