Class Broker

java.lang.Object

com.softwareag.entirex.aci.Broker

public final class Broker
extends java.lang.Object

Represents a session instance of a Broker and handles the connection to EntireX Broker (TCP/IP or SSL/TLS), Broker SSL Agent, Broker HTTP(S) Agent or Direct RPC in Integration Server (TCP/IP or SSL/TLS).
Connection-related information include:

• the Broker address ("BrokerID") (for a definition see getBrokerID());
• the user ID;
• the token (optional for conversational communication, mandatory for UnitofWork communication).

User ID and token can be changed after instantiating an object of this class with the reconnect() method.
If a security object (either BrokerSecurity or EntireXSecurity) is available, this class also handles invocations to the security object.
Instances of this class can be used safely in multi-threaded applications. However, all Broker calls going through the same instance of a Broker object will be serialized. Parallel Broker calls are supported when using multiple Broker objects.

Method Detail

getVersion

public static java.lang.String getVersion()

Returns version information of the EntireX Java ACI package.

Returns:

Version information of Java ACI package as string.

getConnInfo

public java.lang.String getConnInfo()

Returns connection information. For TCP/IP or SSL connections the information contains host and port of the socket in use and details on the pool of sockets. This includes the socket pool size, 'Waits', the number of events waiting for a free socket, and 'MaxSockets', the accumulated number of sockets used during the lifetime of the application. For HTTP and HTTPS connections, this information is not available. This is for information purposes only.

Returns:

Connection information for this Broker object as string.

getBrokerID

public java.lang.String getBrokerID()

Returns the Broker ID which was specified in the constructor of this class.

The Broker ID may have the following syntax depending on the used transport method:

If the Broker ID starts with tcpip:// or if no protocol is specified TCP/IP will be used as the transport method. The Broker ID has the format HostnamePortnumber or tcpip://HostnamePortnumber.
HostnamePortnumber can be either hostname, hostname:portnumber or :portnumber. The hostname is either an IP hostname or a numeric IP address, the default is localhost. The port number must be numeric, default for TCP/IP is 1971, default for SSL/TLS is 1958.

If the Broker ID starts with ssl://, SSL/TLS will be used. The Broker ID has the format ssl://HostnamePortnumber?sslParams. sslParams need to specify trust_store=file, where file is the path name of a Java Keystore file which contains the list of trusted certificate authorities. Specify verify_server=no, if you do not want to check that the certificate of the SSL server is issued for the specified hostname.
If the SSL server requests a client certificate, key_store=file and key_passwd=pwd have to be specified. Again file is the path name of a Java Keystore file which contains the private key and pwd is the password which is needed to access the private key entry in the Keystore. Note that the & character must not appear in the password.
To enable specific TLS protocols, specify them as a comma-separated list in the parameter tls_protocols. All other supported protocols are then disabled. For example, if the value of this parameter is TLSv1.2, then the protocol TLSv1.2 is enabled and all other protocols are disabled.
To enable specific cipher suites, specify them as a comma-separated list in the parameter cipher_suites. All other supported cipher suites are then disabled.
To use a different type or provider for the trust store or the key store, specify them with the parameters trust_store_type, trust_store_provider, key_store_type or key_store_provider.

If the parameter ignore_rfc_2818=yes is specified, only the Common Name field is used for the hostname verification. Otherwise if the server certificate contains a subjectAltName extension of type dNSName, this name is used as the identity.

If the Broker ID starts with http:// or https:// HTTP/HTTPS, tunneling via Broker HTTP(S) Agent will be used. The Broker ID has the format http://urlOfAgent?agentParams or https://urlOfAgent?agentParams. Note that the ?agentParams part is optional. The Broker HTTP(S) Agent accepts the parameters broker and log which overwrite the corresponding values in its configuration. If the parameter checkheaders=no is specified, the HTTP headers returned by the web server are not checked.

For TCP/IP and SSL/TLS there are two parameters to control socket pooling. They are specified as part of the Broker ID. The parameter poolsize specifies the maximum number of socket connections which are kept in the socket pool. The default value for the poolsize parameter is 32. Set the poolsize parameter to 0 to disable the socket pooling. The poolsize parameter can also be set in the Broker constructor, see Broker(String,String,int) or Broker(String,String,String,int). Automatic closing of socket connections is controlled by the parameter pooltimeout. If a socket connection has not been used for the specified the number of seconds, it will be closed automatically. The default for this parameter is 300 seconds.

Returns:

Broker ID as string.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides the toString() method of the class Object.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

BrokerID as a String.

getUserID

public java.lang.String getUserID()

Returns the current value of the user ID.

Returns:

user ID as String.

getSecurityToken

public byte[] getSecurityToken()

Returns the current value of the security token.
Note that the logoff() method resets the security token to null after the call has been made.

Returns:

Security Token as byte array or null.

setSecurityToken

public void setSecurityToken(byte[] s)

Sets the security token to the argument.
Note that the logon() methods reset the security token to null before the call is done and the logoff() method resets the security token after the call has been made.

Parameters:

s - new Security Token as byte array.

getToken

public java.lang.String getToken()

Returns the token specified in the constructor of this class.
Working with UnitofWorks requires a token. Using a token an application can reconnect to a Conversation or UnitofWork which was created by a different process.
When working without a token, the EntireX Broker identifies an (client or server) application by the user ID and an internal unique identifier. This internal identifier is unique to each object instance of this Broker class.
When a token is specified, the EntireX Broker identifies an application by the user ID and token. When working with tokens, ensure that all applications which communicate with the same EntireX Broker in parallel either use different user IDs or different tokens.

Returns:

Token as String or null.

hasUserSecurity

public boolean hasUserSecurity()

Check if a user security object is used

Returns:

true if usr security object is used

autoLogon

public void autoLogon(java.lang.String password)

Provides a password to this instance of the Broker object to be used in subsequent calls. Use this method only when EntireXSecurity is enabled. If autoLogon is used, no logon to the Broker will be done and the password will be sent with every subsequent Broker call. If logon is used, a logon to the Broker will be done and the password will be sent only with the logon call.
You should use autoLogon whenever there is a high probability that a sequence of Broker calls is interrupted by a client non-activity timeout. In the case of a client timeout the 0008 0146 or 0002 0134 is avoided when autoLogon has been called.

You can use this method after logoff. If disconnect is not used, the network resources are freed if the Broker object is destroyed or the socket pooling frees the unused sockets.
You should call this method whenever your Java application continues to run after communication with this Broker instance has been terminated (i.e. in a multi-threading application).
Reusing this Broker object will establish a new connection to the EntireX Broker.

Since:

EntireX 5.2.1

getUniqueID
