Interface RemoteIterator

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

ArrayIterator, BufferIterator, ServerAccessControlPolicyIterator, ServerIterator, ServerNodeIterator, ServerNodeTypeIterator, ServerPrincipalIterator, ServerPropertyIterator, ServerRowIterator, ServerVersionIterator

Deprecated.

RMI support is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Jackrabbit; see Jira ticket JCR-4972 for more information.

Remote version of the JCR RangeIterator interface. Used by the ServerIterator and ClientIterator classes to provide transparent RMI access to remote iterators.

This interface allows both the client and server side to control the amount of buffering used to increase performance.

@Deprecated
public interface RemoteIterator
extends Remote
