Interface RemoteItemDefinition

Remote

All Known Subinterfaces:

public interface RemoteItemDefinition

extends Remote

Remote version of the JCR ItemDef interface. Used by the ServerItemDefinition and ClientItemDefinition adapter base classes to provide transparent RMI access to remote item definitions.

The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a corresponding ItemDef method. The remote object will simply forward the method call to the underlying ItemDef instance. Argument and return values, as well as possible exceptions, are copied over the network. Compex NodeType return values are returned as remote references to the RemoteNodeType interface. RMI errors are signalled with RemoteExceptions.
