Interface Endpoint

public interface Endpoint

An Endpoint object enables you to set and retrieve endpoint information. An endpoint associates a service operation with an available connector, such as a WatchedFolder connector, thereby enabling a client application to invoke the service operation by using different invocation methods. For example, a Watched Folder endpoint enables a Watched Folder to invoke a specific service operation. An Endpoint instance is not instantiated directly. Instead, an Endpoint instance is returned by methods such as the EndpointRegistryClient object's createEndpoint method. For information about programmatically adding an endpoint to a service, see Managing Endpoints in the LiveCycle SDK Help.

Method Detail

getId

long getId()

Retrieves this unique identifier of the endpoint.

Returns:

A unique identifier of the endpoint.

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Retrieves the unique name of this endpoint.

Returns:

A string value that specifies the name of the endpoint.

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Retrieves the endpoint description.

getCategory

EndpointCategory getCategory()

Retrieves the endpoint category. Categories are used to organize services within Workspace ES.

Returns:

A string value that specifies the category assoicated with this endpoint.

getServiceId

java.lang.String getServiceId()

Get the service identifier for which this endpoint is associated.

Returns:

A string value that specifies the service identifier for which this endpoint is associated.

getServiceSpecificationId

java.lang.String getServiceSpecificationId()

Retrieves the specification identifier of a service, identifying its contract. A specification identifier may be shared across services with the same contract or signature.

Returns:

The specification identifier of a service.

getConnectorId

java.lang.String getConnectorId()

Retrieves the identifier of this endpoint's connector. Valid values are: EJB, SOAP, WatchedFolder, Email, Remoting, and TaskManagerConnector.

Returns:

A string value that specifies the identifier of this endpoint's connector.

getEndpointURI

EndpointURI getEndpointURI()

Retrieves the endpoint URI.

Returns:

A string value that specifies URI of the endpoint.

setEndpointURI

void setEndpointURI(EndpointURI aEndpointUri)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

Sets the endpoint URI.

Parameters:

aEndpointUri - An EndpointURI object that sets the URI for this endpoint.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - If an invalid URI is specified.

getConfigParameters

ConfigParameter[] getConfigParameters()

Retrieves configuration parameter values for this endpoint. Configuration parameters are defined for endpoints that have Email or WatchedFolder connectors. For information about configuration values, see Managing Endpoints in the LiveCycle SDK Help.

Returns:

An array of ConfigParameter objects that represent configuration parameters for this endpoint.

getInputParameterMappings

InputParameterMapping[] getInputParameterMappings()

Retrieves input data mappings values. These values describe the input values that are passed to the operation that is invoked by this endpoint. For information about setting input data mapping values, see Adding Watched Folder Endpoints or Adding Email Endpointsin the LiveCycle SDK Help.

Returns:

An array of InputParameterMapping objects.

getOutputParameterMappings

OutputParameterMapping[] getOutputParameterMappings()

Retrieves output data mapping values. These values describe the output value of the operation that is invoked by this endpoint. For information about setting output data mapping values, see Adding Watched Folder Endpoints or Adding Email Endpointsin the LiveCycle SDK Help.

Returns:

An array of OutputParameterMapping objects.

Returns:

A string value that specifies the name of the operation that is invoked by this endpoint.

isEnabled

boolean isEnabled()

Determines if the endpoint is enabled.

Returns:

Returns true if the endpoint is enabled; otherwise, returns false.
