Serialized Fields

role

java.lang.String role

Gives the fully qualified name of the interface that represents the role of the UI generated by the marshalled UI factory. If the client program unmarshals the UI factory and invokes a factory method, the UI returned by the factory method must implement the role the interface specified by role.

For a client program to be able to use a UI, the client has to have prior knowledge of the UI semantics, which is defined by the UI's role type. Thus, for a client to be able to use a UI, the client must understand the semantics of the type whose fully qualified name is given in the String referenced from the role field of that UI's UIDescriptor.

For example, two role types that are defined in the net.jini.lookup.ui package by the Jini Service UI Specification are MainUI, for a main UI to a Jini service, and AdminUI, for an administration UI. Other role types may be defined by the Jini Service UI Specification and by individual Jini service API specifications.

As the strings referenced from the role field are Java type names, they are intended to be manipulated by client programs only. They should not be shown to a user.

toolkit

java.lang.String toolkit

A String to facilitate searching whose value represents the main UI toolkit (for example Swing or AWT) which the produced UI makes use of. The value to which this field should be set is defined by the semantics of the factory type. (This field is intended to facilitate searches. For example, a client can search for all blender services that have Swing MainUI's.)

attributes

java.util.Set attributes

A set of objects that describe the UI generated by the marshalled UI factory.

factory

java.rmi.MarshalledObject factory

The get() method of this MarshalledObject must return an object that implements one or more UI factory interfaces. The actual UI factory type or types implemented by the returned object must be described by a UIFactoryTypes attribute placed in the attributes set of this UIDescriptor.

Class net.jini.lookup.entry.UIDescriptorBean implements Serializable

Serialized Fields

assoc

UIDescriptor assoc

The UIDescriptor object associated with this JavaBeans component.

Package net.jini.lookup.ui.attribute

Class net.jini.lookup.ui.attribute.AccessibleUI implements Serializable

Class net.jini.lookup.ui.attribute.Locales implements Serializable

Serialized Fields

supportedLocales

java.util.Set supportedLocales

A Set of java.util.Locale objects, each of which represents one locale supported by the UI generated by the UI factory stored in marshalled form in the same UIDescriptor.

Class net.jini.lookup.ui.attribute.RequiredPackages implements Serializable

Serialized Fields

requiredPackages

java.util.Map requiredPackages

A Map of String keys to String values. The keys contained in the Map must be Strings that represent fully qualified names of required packages. Each value contained in the Map must be the oldest version number of the package (defined by the key) that is compatible with the UI. Version numbers are Strings in the form of "specification version numbers," as used by the java.lang.Package class.

Class net.jini.lookup.ui.attribute.UIFactoryTypes implements Serializable

Serialized Fields

typeNames

java.util.Set typeNames

A Set of Strings, each of which represents one fully qualified type name. Each String type name should indicate one UI factory interface implemented by the UI factory contained in marshalled form in the same UIDescriptor in which this UIFactoryTypes appears.
