This method sets the synchronous execution flag for a task.

T

thread - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.BaseItem

A reference to the object's processing thread.

thread - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.BaseProxy

The processing thread of the proxy object, it will be started automatically upon arrival at the client when the init method is invoked.

thread - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Queue

This is the thread performing the asynchronous invocation operation, invoking the corresponding method on consumer objects.

timeout - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.ClientProxy

This is the longest value, in milliseconds, that the server will wait for a client invocation to execute before it aborts it.

Timer - Class in gnu.cajo.utils.extra

This class supports the timed execution of scheduled tasks.

Timer(Scheduler) - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Timer

The constructor loads the timer into the Scheduler, but does not yet start it running.

topic - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Queue

Some manner of commonly agreed upon descriptor for the subject matter about which the producers and consumers are interested.

topic() - Method in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Queue

This method is used to request the topic of the producer/consumer community.

toString() - Method in class gnu.cajo.utils.ProxyLoader

This method is used to identify the contents of the ProxyLoader.

TransparentItemProxy - Class in gnu.cajo.utils.extra

This class creates an object, representing a service object.

U

unbind(String) - Static method in class gnu.cajo.utils.ItemServer

This method makes a bound object unable to be found by any new clients.

unexport(boolean) - Method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Remote

This method will attempt to make the wrapper no longer remotely invocable.

unreferenced() - Method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Remote

This method is called by the RMI runtime after it determines the there are no pending invocations on the wrapper.

update(Graphics) - Method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Client

The update method double buffers the applet's paint method, to reduce flicker from the default background repainting.

update(Graphics) - Method in class gnu.cajo.utils.BaseProxy.Panel

The update method is overridden to directly invoke the paint method.

url - Variable in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Wrapper

The URL where to get the wrapped object: file://, http://, ftp://, /path/name, path/name, or //[host][:port]/[name].

W

wake(int) - Method in class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Scheduler

This method sets the asynchronous execution flag for a task.

Wrapper - Class in gnu.cajo.utils.extra

The base class for wrapping objects, remote references, and proxies for syntactical transparency with the remaining codebase.

Wrapper() - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Wrapper

The no-arg constructor does nothing, it is protected for use only by subclasses.

Wrapper(String) - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Wrapper

The constructor loads an object, or a zipped marshalled object (zedmob) from a URL, a file, or from a remote rmiregistry.

X

Xfile - Class in gnu.cajo.utils.extra

This class is used to transfer files between Java Virtual Machines.

Xfile(int) - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Xfile

The constructor simply sets the maximum transfer block size.

Z

zedmob(InputStream) - Static method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Remote

A utility method to reconstitute a zipped marshalled object (zedmob) into a remote item reference, proxy object, or local object.

zedmob(OutputStream, Object) - Static method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Remote

This method will write the local item, remote item reference, or proxy, to an output stream as a zipped marshalled object (zedmob).

zedmob(OutputStream) - Method in class gnu.cajo.invoke.Remote

This method will write this remote item reference to an output stream as a zipped marshalled object (zedmob).

Zedmobject - Class in gnu.cajo.utils.extra

This class is used to transfer an object between Virtual Machines as a zipped marshalled object (zedmob).

Zedmobject(Object) - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.extra.Zedmobject

The constructor simply assigns the reference to the member object referece.

ZippedProxy - Class in gnu.cajo.utils

This class is used to transfer its internal proxy object as a zipped marshalled object (zedmob).

ZippedProxy(Object) - Constructor for class gnu.cajo.utils.ZippedProxy

The constructor retains the reference to the proxy, until the server reference is provided by the ItemServer, after that, it is serialized into the payload array, and discarded.
