Method Detail

processInvocation

protected abstract void processInvocation(EJBReceiverInvocationContext receiverContext)
                                   throws Exception

Process the invocation. Implementations of this method should always execute the operation asynchronously. The operation result should be passed in to the receiver invocation context. To ensure ideal GC behavior, the receiver should discard any reference to the invocation context(s) once the result producer has been set.

Parameters:

receiverContext - The EJB receiver invocation context

Throws:

Exception - if the operation throws an exception

cancelInvocation

protected boolean cancelInvocation(EJBReceiverInvocationContext receiverContext,
                                   boolean cancelIfRunning)

Attempt to cancel an invocation. Implementations should make a reasonable effort to determine whether the operation was actually cancelled; however it is permissible to fall back to returning false if it cannot be discovered.

Parameters:

receiverContext - the EJB receiver invocation context

cancelIfRunning - true to request that the cancellation proceed even if the method is running

Returns:

true if the operation was definitely cancelled immediately, false otherwise

createSession

protected abstract <T> StatefulEJBLocator<T> createSession(StatelessEJBLocator<T> statelessLocator)
                                                    throws Exception

Creates a session for a stateful session bean represented by the passed app name, module name, distinct name and bean name combination. Returns a StatefulEJBLocator representing the newly created session.

Type Parameters:

T - the view type

Parameters:

statelessLocator - the stateless locator

Returns:

the EJB locator for the newly opened session

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the session creation request is made for a bean which is not a stateful session bean

Exception
