Interface ProxyTrustIterator

All Known Implementing Classes:

SingletonProxyTrustIterator

public interface ProxyTrustIterator

Defines an iterator that produces objects from which a TrustVerifier might be obtained. ProxyTrustVerifier obtains such iterators from instances of classes that have a non-static member method with signature:

ProxyTrustIterator getProxyTrustIterator();

The expectation is that each element produced by the iterator either implements ProxyTrust or might have a getProxyTrustIterator method that can be used recursively to obtain further candidates.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	hasNext() Returns true if the iteration has more elements, and false otherwise.
Object	next() Returns the next element in the iteration.
void	setException(RemoteException e) Provides the iteration with a RemoteException thrown from a remote call made while attempting to obtain a TrustVerifier from the object returned by the most recent call to next.

Method Detail

hasNext

boolean hasNext()

Returns true if the iteration has more elements, and false otherwise.

Returns:

true if the iteration has more elements, and false otherwise

next

Object next()
            throws RemoteException

Returns the next element in the iteration. This method can throw an exception (other than NoSuchElementException) without terminating the iteration.

Returns:

the next element in the iteration

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if the iteration has no more elements

RemoteException - if a communication-related exception occurs while producing the next element

RuntimeException - if a runtime exception occurs while producing the next element

setException

void setException(RemoteException e)

Provides the iteration with a RemoteException thrown from a remote call made while attempting to obtain a TrustVerifier from the object returned by the most recent call to next. Setting an exception may influence which (if any) elements are subsequently produced by the iteration. (A RemoteException thrown directly by next should not be passed to this method.)

Parameters:

e - RemoteException thrown from a remote call

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

IllegalStateException - if next has never been called, or if this method has already been called since the most recent call to next, or if hasNext has been called since the most recent call to next, or if the most recent call to next threw a RemoteException
