Class MetadataServerPipe

All Implemented Interfaces:
Pipe, Tube

public class MetadataServerPipe extends AbstractFilterTubeImpl
This pipe handles any mex requests that come through. If a message comes through that has no headers or does not have a mex action in the header, then the pipe ignores the message and passes it on to the next pipe. Otherwise, it responds to a mex Get request and returns a fault for a GetMetadata request (these optional requests are not supported). TODO: Remove the createANSFault() method after the next jax-ws integration. See the method for more details.

    • copy

      public MetadataServerPipe copy(TubeCloner cloner)
      Description copied from interface: Tube
      Creates an identical clone of this Tube.

      This method creates an identical pipeline that can be used concurrently with this pipeline. When the caller of a pipeline is multi-threaded and need concurrent use of the same pipeline, it can do so by creating copies through this method.

      Implementation Note

      It is the implementation's responsibility to call TubeCloner.add(Tube,Tube) to register the copied pipe with the original. This is required before you start copying the other Tube references you have, or else there's a risk of infinite recursion.

      For most Tube implementations that delegate to another Tube, this method requires that you also copy the Tube that you delegate to.

      For limited number of Tubes that do not maintain any thread unsafe resource, it is allowed to simply return this from this method (notice that even if you are stateless, if you got a delegating Tube and that one isn't stateless, you still have to copy yourself.)

      Note that this method might be invoked by one thread while another thread is executing the other process method. See the Codec.copy() for more discussion about this.

      Specified by:
      copy in interface Tube
      Specified by:
      copy in class AbstractTubeImpl
      Parameters:
      cloner - Use this object (in particular its TubeCloner.copy(Tube) method to clone other pipe references you have in your pipe. See TubeCloner for more discussion about why.
      Returns:
      always non-null Tube.
    • processRequest

      public NextAction processRequest(Packet request)
      Method returns immediately if there are no headers in the message to check. If there are, the pipe checks W3C and then MEMBER addressing for an action header. If there is an action header, and if it is a mex Get request, then ask addressing again for the address and process the request.
      Specified by:
      processRequest in interface Tube
      Overrides:
      processRequest in class AbstractFilterTubeImpl
      Parameters:
      request - The packet that represents a request message. If the packet has a non-null message, it must be a valid unconsumed Message. This message represents the SOAP message to be sent as a request.

      The packet is also allowed to carry no message, which indicates that this is an output-only request. (that's called "solicit", right? - KK)

      Returns:
      A NextAction object that represents the next action to be taken by the JAX-WS runtime.
