Interface RpcChannel

public interface RpcChannel

Abstract interface for an RPC channel. An RpcChannel represents a communication line to a Service which can be used to call that Service's methods. The Service may be running on another machine. Normally, you should not call an RpcChannel directly, but instead construct a stub Service wrapping it. Example:

   RpcChannel channel = rpcImpl.newChannel("remotehost.example.com:1234");
   RpcController controller = rpcImpl.newController();
   MyService service = MyService.newStub(channel);
   service.myMethod(controller, request, callback);

Method Summary

void	callMethod(Descriptors.MethodDescriptor method, RpcController controller, Message request, Message responsePrototype, RpcCallback<Message> done) Call the given method of the remote service.

Method Detail

callMethod

void callMethod(Descriptors.MethodDescriptor method,
                RpcController controller,
                Message request,
                Message responsePrototype,
                RpcCallback<Message> done)

Call the given method of the remote service. This method is similar to Service.callMethod() with one important difference: the caller decides the types of the Message objects, not the callee. The request may be of any type as long as request.getDescriptor() == method.getInputType(). The response passed to the callback will be of the same type as responsePrototype (which must have getDescriptor() == method.getOutputType()).
