Interface DataResourceManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

OgsaDaiDataResourceManager, PlaintextDataResourceManager, RDBMSDataResourceManager

public interface DataResourceManager

Implementations of DataResourceManager are responsible for the creation and destruction of resources on a backend. The management methods in this interface each take a bean holding information about the resource they are managing. They should use this information to perform whatever actions they need to on the backend. They can optionally modify this information, as the bean is saved after the method returns.

Method Detail

createDataResource

void createDataResource(DataResourceBean bean)
                        throws RemoteException

Create a new resource on the backend. createDefaultRoles(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.types.MatchRule, uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceBean, uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.comms.dataresource.DataResource, java.lang.String) will be called shortly after this method to allow the creation of any default roles that allow users to access the resource.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the resource to be created

Throws:

RemoteException

connectDataResource

void connectDataResource(DataResourceBean bean)
                         throws RemoteException

Connect an existing resource on the backend.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the resource to be connected

Throws:

RemoteException

destroyDataResource

void destroyDataResource(DataResourceBean bean)
                         throws RemoteException

Destroy a data resource on the backend. Unlike disconnectDataResource(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceBean), this method should totally remove the data resource and any data contained within it. This method will only be called on resources that were created with createDataResource(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceBean).

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the resource to be destroyed

Throws:

RemoteException

disconnectDataResource

void disconnectDataResource(DataResourceBean bean)
                            throws RemoteException

Disconnect a data resource on the backend. This method should leave any data that was contained within the data resource intact. This method will only be called by resources that were created with connectDataResource(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceBean).

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the resource to be disconnected

Throws:

RemoteException

createDataResourceRole

void createDataResourceRole(DataResourceRoleBean bean)
                            throws RemoteException

Create a data resource role on the backend.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the role to be created

Throws:

RemoteException

connectDataResourceRole

void connectDataResourceRole(DataResourceRoleBean bean)
                             throws RemoteException

Connect a data resource role on the backend.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the role to be connected

Throws:

RemoteException

destroyDataResourceRole

void destroyDataResourceRole(DataResourceRoleBean bean)
                             throws RemoteException

Destroy a role on the backend. Unlike disconnectDataResourceRole(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceRoleBean), this method should totally remove the role from the backend. It will only be called on resources that were created with createDataResourceRole(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceRoleBean).

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the role to be destroyed

Throws:

RemoteException

disconnectDataResourceRole

void disconnectDataResourceRole(DataResourceRoleBean bean)
                                throws RemoteException

Disconnect a role on the backend. This method should leave the actual role intact. It will only be called on resources that were created with connectDataResourceRole(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceRoleBean).

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the role to be disconnected

Throws:

RemoteException

createDataResourceSubscription

void createDataResourceSubscription(DataResourceSubscriptionBean bean)
                                    throws RemoteException

Perform any required actions on the backend to subscribe to a role. Typically this method will do nothing as subscriptions have no meaning to the backend.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the subscription

Throws:

RemoteException

destroyDataResourceSubscription

void destroyDataResourceSubscription(DataResourceSubscriptionBean bean)
                                     throws RemoteException

Perform any required actions on the backend to unsubscribe to a role. Typically this method will do nothing as subscriptions have no meaning to the backend.

Parameters:

bean - A bean holding information about the subscription

Throws:

RemoteException

createDefaultRoles

List<org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType> createDefaultRoles(MatchRule owner,
                                                                                  DataResourceBean bean,
                                                                                  DataResource service,
                                                                                  String metricURI)
                                                                                  throws RemoteException

Create any default roles on a newly created data resource. This method will be called shortly after createDataResource(uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.service.dataresource.beans.DataResourceBean) and is responsible for setting up one or more roles for users to access the data resource. It should call the DataResource.createDataResourceRole(java.lang.String, uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.types.MatchRule, java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String) method on service to create the roles.

Parameters:

owner - A rule describing the owner of the resource. Should be passed as a parameter to DataResource.createDataResourceRole(java.lang.String, uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.types.MatchRule, java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String).

bean - A bean holding information about the data resource that has just been created. The resourceID can be retreived from this bean and passed as a parameter to DataResource.createDataResourceRole(java.lang.String, uk.ac.soton.itinnovation.grid.types.MatchRule, java.lang.String, java.util.Map, java.lang.String)

service - The service interface used to do the creation of roles.

metricURI - The metric URI given to the data resource. Variations on this should be given to each of the roles. If metricURI is an empty string (""), no metrics should be assigned to the roles.

Returns:

A list of the EPRs returned by createDataResourceRole.

Throws:

RemoteException

reloadConfiguration

void reloadConfiguration()
                         throws RemoteException

Instruct the data resource manager to reload any configuration files it needs. This is called once upon service initialisation and may be called after the user has changed settings in a user interface.

Throws:

RemoteException

isConfigurationLoaded

boolean isConfigurationLoaded()

Determine whether configuration files have been loaded and the service is ready to respond to requests.

writeDataResourceConfiguration

void writeDataResourceConfiguration(String resourceID,
                                    String jdbcURL)

Writes or re-writes configuration for a data resource
