Class ReplyContextWrapper

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.ibm.bpe.api.ReplyContextWrapper
All Implemented Interfaces:
java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

public final class ReplyContextWrapper
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable

Wraps the reply context passed to the process engine.

When the process engine is accessed through its EJB interface:

The ReplyContextWrapper class defers deserialization until the wrapped ReplyContext is accessed. This allows the process engine to set the appropriate class loader.

5.0

Constructor Detail

ReplyContextWrapper

public ReplyContextWrapper()
Default constructor needed by deserialization. Sets the wrapped object to null.


ReplyContextWrapper

public ReplyContextWrapper(ReplyContext object)
Constructor that stores the passed object.

Parameters:
object - The object to wrap. When the ReplyContextWrapper object is used as an EJB parameter or as an EJB return value, then object must implement java.io.Serializable.

ReplyContextWrapper

public ReplyContextWrapper(byte[] buffer)
Constructor that stores the passed serialized object.

Parameters:
buffer - The object to wrap. When the ReplyContextWrapper object is used as an EJB parameter or as an EJB return value, then object must implement java.io.Serializable.
Method Detail

fromByteArray

public static ReplyContextWrapper fromByteArray(byte[] buffer)
Factory method that creates a ReplyContextWrapper from a byte array. The constructor taking a byte array as parameter is private because it is ambiguous (arrays are also objects).

Parameters:
buffer - The serialized object to wrap.
Returns:
A ReplyContextWrapper object.

getObject

public ReplyContext getObject()
                       throws ProcessException
Returns the wrapped object.

If the ReplyContextWrapper object has been serialized, then deserialized and this is the first time the wrapped object is accessed, the wrapped object is deserialized before it is returned. If the ReplyContextWrapper has never been serialized, or the wrapped object has been accessed before, the wrapped object is returned without deserialization.

Returns:
The wrapped object.
Throws:
ProcessException - if an error occurrs during deserialization of the object.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Creates and returns a copy of this object.

The meaning of "copy" depends on the class of the object. Generally, for any object x, the expression:

 x.clone() != x
is true, and the expression:
 x.clone().getClass() == x.getClass()
is true.

Overrides:
clone in class java.lang.Object
Returns:
A clone of this object.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - if the object's class does not support the Cloneable interface.
