Interface NetcdfRemoteProxy

All Superinterfaces:

java.rmi.Remote

All Known Implementing Classes:

NetcdfRemoteProxyImpl, NetcdfRemoteProxyImpl_Stub

public interface NetcdfRemoteProxy

extends java.rmi.Remote

This interface wraps a single instance of Netcdf to provide Remote services required in the construction of an instance of RemoteNetcdf.

This interface is only needed by directory services like NetcdfService to bootstrap instances of RemoteNetcdf. It could be considered package or implementation private.

Method Summary

RemoteAccessor	getAccessor(java.lang.String varName) Get an Accessor for a Variable, by name.
Schema	getSchema()
void	release() Indicate that you are done with this Netcdf data set.

Method Detail

getSchema

public Schema getSchema()
                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Returns:

a Schema for the Netcdf this represents.

getAccessor

public RemoteAccessor getAccessor(java.lang.String varName)
                           throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Get an Accessor for a Variable, by name. Given the Accessor and the ProtoVariable obtained indirectly from getSchema() above, RemoteNetcdf can create a remote proxy for the Variable.

Parameters:

varName - String which names a Variable in the Netcdf this represents.

Returns:

a (Remote)Accessor for the Variable.

release

public void release()
             throws java.rmi.RemoteException

Indicate that you are done with this Netcdf data set. Allows the service to free resources (close the data set).
