Interface RemoteRepository

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

BrokenRemoteRepository, ServerRepository

public interface RemoteRepository
extends Remote

Remote version of the JCR Repository interface. Used by the ServerRepository and ClientRepository adapters to provide transparent RMI access to remote repositories.

The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a corresponding Repository method. The remote object will simply forward the method call to the underlying Repository instance. Session objects are returned as remote references to the RemoteSession interface. Simple return values and possible exceptions are copied over the network to the client. RMI errors are signaled with RemoteExceptions.
