lastTouchedTime

protected long lastTouchedTime

parent

protected transient AbstractContext parent

properties

protected transient java.util.Map properties

Constructor Detail

AbstractContext

protected AbstractContext(AbstractContext parent)

AbstractContext

protected AbstractContext()

Method Detail

getParent

public AbstractContext getParent()

Returns:

Returns AbstractContext.

getProperties

public java.util.Map getProperties()

getProperty

public java.lang.Object getProperty(java.lang.String key)

Retrieves an object given a key.

Parameters:

key - - if not found, will return null

Returns:

Returns the property.

setParent

public void setParent(AbstractContext context)

Parameters:

context -

setProperties

public void setProperties(java.util.Map properties)

This will set the properties to the context. But in setting that one may need to "copy" all the properties from the source properties to the target properties. To enable this we introduced a property (COPY_PROPERTIES) so that if set to true, this code will copy the whole thing, without just referencing to the source.

Parameters:

properties -

mergeProperties

public void mergeProperties(java.util.Map props)

This will do a copy of the given properties to the current properties table.

Parameters:

props - The table of properties to copy

setProperty

public void setProperty(java.lang.String key,
                        java.lang.Object value)

Store a property for message context

Parameters:

key -

value -

touch

protected void touch()

ServiceContext and ServiceGroupContext are not getting automatically garbage collected. And there is no specific way for some one to go and make it garbage collectible. So the current solution is to make them time out. So the logic is that, there is a timer task in each and every service group which will check for the last touched time. And if it has not been touched for some time, the timer task will remove it from the memory. The touching logic happens like this. Whenever there is a call to addMessageContext in the operationContext it will go and update operationCOntext -> serviceContext -> serviceGroupContext.

getLastTouchedTime

public long getLastTouchedTime()

setLastTouchedTime

public void setLastTouchedTime(long t)

flush

public void flush()
           throws AxisFault

Throws:

AxisFault

getRootContext

public abstract ConfigurationContext getRootContext()
