org.eclipse.rse.core.model
Interface ISystemHostPool

All Superinterfaces:
IRSEPersistableContainer

public interface ISystemHostPool
extends IRSEPersistableContainer

An ordered list of connections ( IHost objects), owned by an ISystemProfile.

Implementations of this interface are expected to be thread-safe in the sense that integrity of the host list is maintained even if multiple threads call multiple methods in this interface concurrently.

Parameters:
systemType - system type matching one of the system types defined via the systemTypes extension point.
aliasName - unique connection name.
hostName - IP name or address of the host.
Returns:
IHost object, or null if it failed to create because the aliasName is not unique. All other errors throw an exception.

Create a connection object, given all the possible attributes except default userId.

THE RESULTING CONNECTION OBJECT IS ADDED TO THE LIST OF EXISTING CONNECTIONS FOR YOU.

Parameters:
systemType - system type matching one of the system types defined via the systemTypes extension point.
aliasName - unique connection name.
hostName - IP name or address of the host.
description - optional description of the connection. Can be null.
Returns:
IHost object, or null if it failed to create because the aliasName is not unique. All other errors throw an exception.

String description,
                 
String defaultUserId,
                 int defaultUserIdLocation)
Create a connection object, given all the possible attributes.

The new connection is added to the list and saved to disk.

Parameters:
systemType - system type matching one of the system types defined via the systemTypes extension point.
aliasName - unique connection name.
hostName - IP name or address of the host.
description - optional description of the connection. Can be null.
defaultUserId - userId to use as the default for the subsystems.
defaultUserIdLocation - where to set the given default user Id. See IRSEUserIdConstants for values.
Returns:
IHost object, or null if it failed to create because the aliasName is not unique.

IRSEUserIdConstants

updateHost

void updateHost(
IHost conn,
                
IRSESystemType systemType,
                
String aliasName,
                
String hostName,
                
String description,
                
String defaultUserId,
                int defaultUserIdLocation)
Update an existing connection given the new information. This method:
  • calls the setXXX methods on the given connection object, updating the information in it.
  • saves the connection to disk (renaming its folder if needed)

Parameters:
conn - IHost to be updated
systemType - system type matching one of the system types defined via the systemType extension point.
aliasName - unique connection name.
hostName - IP name or address of the host.
description - optional description of the connection. Can be null.
defaultUserId - userId to use as the default for the subsystems.
defaultUserIdLocation - where to set the given default user Id from IRSEUserIdConstants.
See Also:
IRSEUserIdConstants

getHost


IHost getHost(
String aliasName)
Return a connection object, given its alias name. Can be used to test if an alias name is already used (non-null return).

Parameters:
aliasName - unique aliasName (case insensitive) to search on.
Returns:
IHost object with unique aliasName, or null if no connection object with this name exists.

getHost


IHost getHost(int pos)
Return the connection at the given zero-based offset.

Parameters:
pos - zero-based offset of requested connection in the connection list.
Returns:
IHost object requested.

addHost

boolean addHost(
IHost conn)
Add a new connection to the list.

This method will not ensure that the added connection's alias name is different (case-insensitive) than all other existing alias names. Clients are responsible for maintaining this invariant.

Parameters:
conn - Connection to add. Must not be null.
Returns:
true if the new connection was added successfully, false otherwise.

deleteHost

void deleteHost(
IHost conn)
Removes a given connection from the list and deletes it from disk.

This will:

  • Delete the connection in memory
  • Delete the underlying folder

Parameters:
conn - IHost object to remove

renameHost

void renameHost(
IHost conn,
                
String newName)
Renames a given connection in the list. This will:
  • Rename the profile in memory
  • Rename the underlying folder
  • Update the user preferences if this profile is currently active.

Parameters:
conn - IHost object to rename
newName - The new alias name to give that connection. The alias name is not checked for uniqueness. Clients are responsible themselves for ensuring that no two connections with the same alias name (compared case insensitive) are created.

getHostPosition

int getHostPosition(
IHost conn)
Return the zero-based position of a connection object within this host pool.

Parameters:
conn - connection to find in this host pool.
Returns:
the zero-based position of the requested connection in this host pool, or -1 if the connection was not found.

getHostCount

int getHostCount()
Return the number of connections within this pool.

Returns:
the number of IHost objects within this pool.

cloneHost


IHost cloneHost(
ISystemHostPool targetPool,
                
IHost conn,
                
String aliasName)
Duplicates a given connection in this list within this list or another list.

Parameters:
targetPool - The ISystemHostPool to hold the copied connection. Can equal this pool, as long as alias name is unique.
conn - IHost object (within our pool) to clone.
aliasName - New, unique, alias name to give this connection. Clone will fail (returning null as result) if this is not unique.
Returns:
the cloned host, or null if the new alias name was not unique.

moveHosts

void moveHosts(
IHost[] conns,
               int delta)
Move existing connections a given number of positions in the same pool. If the delta is negative, they are all moved up (left) by the given amount. If positive, they are all moved down (right) by the given amount.

  • After the move, the pool containing the moved connection is saved to disk.
  • The connection's alias name must be unique in pool.
TODO PROBLEM: CAN'T RE-ORDER FOLDERS SO CAN WE SUPPORT THIS ACTION?

Parameters:
conns - an Array of hosts to move, can be empty but must not be null.
delta - the amount by which to move the hosts within this pool

orderHosts

void orderHosts(
String[] names)
Order connections by alias name, in the order given by the names parameter. Called after restore to order by user preferences. Alias names are case-insensitive. Existing connections in the internal connection list that do not match any alias name in the given name list, will be deleted from this host pool!

Parameters:
names - list of connection alias names in expected order.
