Interface RemoteNodeType

All Superinterfaces:

Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

ServerNodeType

public interface RemoteNodeType

extends Remote

Remote version of the JCR NodeType interface. Used by the ServerNodeType and ClientNodeType adapters to provide transparent RMI access to remote node types.

The methods in this interface are documented only with a reference to a corresponding NodeType method. The remote object will simply forward the method call to the underlying NodeType instance. Return values and possible exceptions are copied over the network. Complex return values (like NodeTypes and PropertyDefs) are retunred as remote references to the corresponding remote interfaces. RMI errors are signalled with RemoteExceptions.
