Method Summary

Map<String,org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType>	getPortTypeMap() The target port-types indexed by service name.
GCUBEScope	getScope() Returns the scope in which interactions ought to take place.
void	setPortTypeMap(Map<String,org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType> map) Sets the cache of target port-types.

Method Detail

getPortTypeMap

Map<String,org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType> getPortTypeMap()

The target port-types indexed by service name.

setPortTypeMap

void setPortTypeMap(Map<String,org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType> map)

Sets the cache of target port-types.

Parameters:

map - the map.

getScope

GCUBEScope getScope()

Returns the scope in which interactions ought to take place. This is used by service handler to inject endpoints into the cache in a scope-sensitive manner.

Typically, this is delegated to a GCUBEScopeManager .

Returns:

the scope, or null if interactions should not to be scoped.
