This manual uses several conventions to highlight certain words and phrases and draw attention to specific pieces of information.
In PDF and paper editions, this manual uses typefaces drawn from the Liberation Fonts set. The Liberation Fonts set is also used in HTML editions if the set is installed on your system. If not, alternative but equivalent typefaces are displayed. Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and later includes the Liberation Fonts set by default.
Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows.
Mono-spaced Bold
Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight key caps and key-combinations. For example:
To see the contents of the file
my_next_bestselling_novel
in your current working directory, enter thecat my_next_bestselling_novel
command at the shell prompt and press Enter to execute the command.
The above includes a file name, a shell command and a key cap, all presented in Mono-spaced Bold and all distinguishable thanks to context.
Key-combinations can be distinguished from key caps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key-combination. For example:
Press Enter to execute the command.
Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to your X-Windows session.
The first sentence highlights the particular key cap to press. The second highlights two sets of three key caps, each set pressed simultaneously.
If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in Mono-spaced Bold
. For example:
File-related classes include
filesystem
for file systems,file
for files, anddir
for directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions.
Proportional Bold
This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialogue box text; labelled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example:
Choose Mouse Preferences. In the Buttons tab, click the Left-handed mouse check box and click to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse suitable for use in the left hand).
from the main menu bar to launchTo insert a special character into a gedit file, choose from the main menu bar. Next, choose from the Character Map menu bar, type the name of the character in the Search field and click . The character you sought will be highlighted in the Character Table. Double-click this highlighted character to place it in the Text to copy field and then click the button. Now switch back to your document and choose from the gedit menu bar.
The above text includes application names; system-wide menu names and items; application-specific menu names; and buttons and text found within a GUI interface, all presented in Proportional Bold and all distinguishable by context.
Note the
shorthand used to indicate traversal through a menu and its sub-menus. This is to avoid the difficult-to-follow 'Select from the sub-menu in the menu of the main menu bar' approach.
or Mono-spaced Bold Italic
Proportional Bold Italic
Whether Mono-spaced Bold or Proportional Bold, the addition of Italics indicates replaceable or variable text. Italics denotes text you do not input literally or displayed text that changes depending on circumstance. For example:
To connect to a remote machine using ssh, type
ssh
at a shell prompt. If the remote machine isusername
@domain.name
example.com
and your username on that machine is john, typessh john@example.com
.The
mount -o remount
command remounts the named file system. For example, to remount thefile-system
/home
file system, the command ismount -o remount /home
.To see the version of a currently installed package, use the
rpm -q
command. It will return a result as follows:package
.
package-version-release
Note the words in bold italics above username, domain.name, file-system, package, version and release. Each word is a placeholder, either for text you enter when issuing a command or for text displayed by the system.
Aside from standard usage for presenting the title of a work, italics denotes the first use of a new and important term. For example:
When the Apache HTTP Server accepts requests, it dispatches child processes or threads to handle them. This group of child processes or threads is known as a server-pool. Under Apache HTTP Server 2.0, the responsibility for creating and maintaining these server-pools has been abstracted to a group of modules called Multi-Processing Modules (MPMs). Unlike other modules, only one module from the MPM group can be loaded by the Apache HTTP Server.
Two, commonly multi-line, data types are set off visually from the surrounding text.
Output sent to a terminal is set in Mono-spaced Roman
and presented thus:
books Desktop documentation drafts mss photos stuff svn books_tests Desktop1 downloads images notes scripts svgs
Source-code listings are also set in Mono-spaced Roman
but are presented and highlighted as follows:
package org.jboss.book.jca.ex1; import javax.naming.InitialContext; public class ExClient { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { InitialContext iniCtx = new InitialContext(); Object ref = iniCtx.lookup("EchoBean"); EchoHome home = (EchoHome) ref; Echo echo = home.create(); System.out.println("Created Echo"); System.out.println("Echo.echo('Hello') = " + echo.echo("Hello")); } }
Finally, we use three visual styles to draw attention to information that might otherwise be overlooked.
A note is a tip or shortcut or alternative approach to the task at hand. Ignoring a note should have no negative consequences, but you might miss out on a trick that makes your life easier.
Important boxes detail things that are easily missed: configuration changes that only apply to the current session, or services that need restarting before an update will apply. Ignoring Important boxes won't cause data loss but may cause irritation and frustration.
A Warning should not be ignored. Ignoring warnings will most likely cause data loss.
If you find a typographical error in this manual, or if you have thought of a way to make this manual better, we would love to hear from you! Please submit a report in the the Issue Tracker, against the product JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler, or contact the authors.
When submitting a bug report, be sure to mention the manual's identifier: JAIN_SLEE_ENABLER_SIPPublicationClient_User_Guide
If you have a suggestion for improving the documentation, try to be as specific as possible when describing it. If you have found an error, please include the section number and some of the surrounding text so we can find it easily.
The JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler allows JAIN SLEE Applications to interact with an Event State Compositor, such as a Presence Server, hiding the network protocol complexity. The Enabler consists of SBB, which can be used in child relations, with a simple synchronous interface.
Enabler abstracts communication described in RFC3903.
Ensure that the following requirements have been met before continuing with the install.
The Enabler doesn't change the JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE Hardware Requirements, refer to JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE documentation for more information.
This section provides instructions on how to obtain and build the SIP Publication Client Enabler from source code.
Downloading the source code
Subversion is used to manage its source code. Instructions for using Subversion, including install, can be found at http://svnbook.red-bean.com
Use SVN to checkout a specific release source, the base URL is ?, then add the specific release version, lets consider 1.0.0.BETA2.
[usr]$ svn co ?/1.0.0.BETA2 slee-enabler-sip-publication-client-1.0.0.BETA2
Building the source code
Maven 2.0.9 (or higher) is used to build the release. Instructions for using Maven2, including install, can be found at http://maven.apache.org
Use Maven to build the deployable unit binary.
[usr]$ cd slee-enabler-sip-publication-client-1.0.0.BETA2 [usr]$ mvn install
Once the process finishes you should have the deployable-unit
jar file in the target
directory, if JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE is installed and environment variable JBOSS_HOME is pointing to its underlying JBoss Enterprise Application Platform directory, then the deployable unit jar will also be deployed in the container.
This procedure does not install the Enabler's dependencies
Similar process as for Section 2.2.1, “Release Source Code Building”, the only change is the SVN source code URL, which is NOT AVAILABLE.
To install the Enabler simply execute provided ant script build.xml
default target:
[usr]$ ant
The script will copy the Enabler's deployable unit jar to the default
JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE server profile deploy directory, to deploy to another server profile use the argument -Dnode=
.
This procedure also installs the Enabler's dependencies.
To uninstall the Enabler simply execute provided ant script build.xml
undeploy
target:
[usr]$ ant undeploy-all
The script will delete the Enabler's deployable unit jar from the default
JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE server profile deploy directory, to undeploy from another server profile use the argument -Dnode=
.
This procedure also uninstalls the Enabler's dependencies.
This chapter explains how to setup a JAIN SLEE Service Sbb to use the Enabler.
In short terms, a Service's Sbb will define the Enabler's Sbb as a child, and to achieve that it will need to setup the XML Descriptor, Abstract Class and SbbLocalObject interface.
The Service's Sbb will be referred as the Parent Sbb in the following sections.
Relation betweeen Parent Sbb, Enabler instance and publications in Server look as follows:
JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler design
The JBoss Communications JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler Sbb provides synchronous callbacks to the Parent's Sbb, and that can only be achieved if the Parent's SbbLocalObject extends a specific Java interface, deployed also by the Enabler, and provides it's SbbLocalObject to the Enabler's Sbb, through a specific method exposed by the latter interface. The Enabler stores the Parent's SbbLocalObject and uses it when a callback to the Parent's Sbb is needed.
The SbbLocalObject which must be used or extended by the Parent's Sbb
is named
org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip.PublicationClientParentSbbLocalObject
, which extends the
javax.slee.SbbLocalObject
and
org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip.PublicationClientParent
interfaces, the latter declares the callbacks which must be
implemented in the Parent's Sbb Abstract Class:
package org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip;
public interface PublicationClientParent {
public void newPublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject child);
public void modifyPublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject child);
public void removePublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject child);
public void newPublicationFailed(int errorCode,
PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject sbbLocalObject);
public void modifyPublicationFailed(int errorCode,
PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject sbbLocalObject);
public void refreshPublicationFailed(int errorCode,
PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject sbbLocalObject);
public void removePublicationFailed(int errorCode,
PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject sbbLocalObject);
}
newPublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that new publication request succeed.
modifyPublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that modify publication request succeed.
removePublicationSucceed(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that remove publication request succeed.
newPublicationFailed(int,PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that new publication request failed. Enabler must be discarded.
refreshPublicationFailed(int,PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that refresh publication request failed. Enabler must be discarded.
modifyPublicationFailed(int,PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that modify publication request failed. Enabler must be discarded.
removePublicationFailed(int,PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject)
method:
Callback method indicating that remove publication request failed. Enabler must be discarded.
The Parent Sbb Abstract Class must implement the callbacks on it's
SbbLocalObject, that is, must implement the
org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip.PublicationClientParent
interface discussed in last section.
The Enabler is a Child Sbb. Parent requires JAIN SLEE 1.1 Child
Relation to
access Enabler. SLEE specification mandates parent to
declare an
abstract method to retrieve the
javax.slee.ChildRelation
object, which is used to create or access specific Child Sbbs. This
method may be declared as follows:
public abstract ChildRelation getSipPublicationClientChildRelation();
The Parent Sbb must define following information in its descriptor
A reference to the Enabler's Child Sbb is defined right after the Parent's Sbb Vendor ID element, using the following XML element:
<sbb-ref>
<sbb-name>SipPublicationClientChildSbb</sbb-name>
<sbb-vendor>org.mobicents</sbb-vendor>
<sbb-version>1.0</sbb-version>
<sbb-alias>sipPubClientChildSbb</sbb-alias>
</sbb-ref>
The method name to get the Enabler's ChildRelation object must be defined after the CMP Fields (if any), this XML element links the sbb-alias previously defined with the abstract method declared in the Parent's Sbb Abstract Class:
<get-child-relation-method>
<sbb-alias-ref>sipPubClientChildSbb</sbb-alias-ref>
<get-child-relation-method-name>getSipPublicationClientChildRelation</get-child-relation-method-name>
<default-priority>0</default-priority>
</get-child-relation-method>
After the
sbb-abstract-class
element the Parent's SbbLocalObject interface name is defined:
<sbb-local-interface>
<sbb-local-interface-name>...</sbb-local-interface-name>
</sbb-local-interface>
In the last chapter we integrated the Enabler in the JAIN SLEE Service's Sbb, the Parent Sbb, in this chapter it is explained how to use the Enabler's Sbb, the Child Sbb.
Enabler performs following tasks:
send publication events on behalf of Parent Sbb
based on values exchanged between Enabler and Server, Enabler keeps track of publication life time(expiration) and issues refresh requests to Server
JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler control flow
The JBoss Communications
JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client
Enabler Sbb, the Child Sbb, implements the
org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip.PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject
, which extends the
javax.slee.SbbLocalObject
and
org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip.PublicationClientChild
interfaces, the latter declares the methods which can be used to
interact with the Server:
package org.mobicents.slee.enabler.sip;
public interface PublicationClientChild {
public void newPublication(String entity, String eventPackage, String document, String contentType,
String contentSubType, int expires);
public void modifyPublication(String document, String contentType
, String contentSubType, int expires);
public void removePublication();
public String getEntity();
public String getETag();
public void setParentSbb(PublicationClientParentSbbLocalObject parent);
}
setParentSbb(PublicationClientParentLocalInterface);
method:
Passes the Parent's SbbLocalObject, which will be used by the Child Sbb to provide async results. If not invoked after the child creation the Enabler won't be able to callback the Parent Sbb.
String getETag()
method:
Fetches last SIP-ETag value returned by Server.
String getEntity()
method:
Fetches entity for which Enabler manages publication.
newPublication(String entity, String eventPackage, String
document, String contentType, String contentSubType, int expires);
method:
Creates new publication in Server.
PUBLISH
request is constructed with passed arguments.
modifyPublication(String document, String
contentType, String contentSubType, int expires);
method:
Issues modify
PUBLISH
request. Request is constructed with data passed as arguments and
state stored
when
new
publication is sent to server(event package, entity, ETag).
removePublication();
method:
Issues remove
PUBLISH
request. Request is constructed with data passed as arguments and
state stored
when previous publications are sent to server (event
package, entity,
ETag).
The Child Relation in the Parent Sbb Abstract Class is used to create and retrieve the Child Sbb, it is important to not forget to pass the Parent's SbbLocalObject to the Child after creation:
public PublicationClientChildLocalInterface getPublicationClientChildSbb() {
final ChildRelation childRelation = getSipPublicationClientChildRelation();
if (childRelation.isEmpty()) {
try {
// creates new instance
SipPublicationClientChildSbbLocalInterface sbb =
(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject) childRelation.create();
// passes the parent sbb local object to the child
sbb.setParentSbb((PublicationClientParentSbbLocalObject)
sbbContext.getSbbLocalObject());
return sbb;
} catch (Exception e) {
tracer.severe("Failed to create child sbb", e);
return null;
}
}else {
(PublicationClientChildSbbLocalObject) return childRelation.iterator().next();
}
}
The SbbLocalObject of the Child could also be stored in a CMP Field for the simplest retrieval, but unless you are going to reuse each instance several times it's better to have less state, specially in clustered environments.
Enabler can be configured with SLEE environment entries. Currently following entries are supported:
Table 4.1. Environment entry table
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
server.address |
java.lang.String |
Specifies address to which requests should be forwarded. It has form of ip:port pair. |
expires.drift |
java.lang.Integer |
Specifies time drift, in seconds, between value of Expires/Min-Expires values and automatic refresh performed by enabler. For instance if Expires value passed(and accepted by ECS/PA) is 3600, time drift set to 10, Enabler will refresh publication after 3590 seconds |
Spaces where introduced in log4j category name to properly render page. Please remove them when using copy/paste.
The JAIN SLEE SIP Publication Client Enabler uses a single JAIN SLEE 1.1 Tracer, named SipPublicationClientChildSbb
.
The related log4j category is
javax.slee.SbbNotification[service=ServiceID[name=
ServiceX,vendor=VendorY,version=VersionZ],
sbb=SbbID[name=SipPublicationClientChildSbb,vendor=org.mobicents,version=1.0]]
.
Where ServiceX
, VendorY
and VersionZ
need to be replaced by the identifiers of the Service using the Enabler.
