Interface UserInterfaceRepository

public interface UserInterfaceRepository

This interface describes a service that holds user interface factory classes. Since factories are not required to implement the UserInterfaceFactory interface, this service returns the factory classes instead of the factories themselves.

Method Summary

UserInterfaceFactory[]	getUserInterfaceFactories(java.lang.Class serviceInterface) This method is used to obtain user interface factories available that can build a user interface for a particular service interface
UserInterfaceFactory[]	getUserInterfaceFactories(java.lang.Class serviceInterface, java.lang.Class[] desiredUserInterfaceClasses) This method is used to obtain user interface factories available that can build a user interface for a particular service interface The factory must be able to produce a user interface that is an instance of one of the specified Java types.

                                                 throws java.rmi.RemoteException

This method is used to obtain user interface factories available that can build a user interface for a particular service interface

Parameters:

serviceInterface - interface of a service, management bean, or other remote object for which a user interface is needed.

Returns:

array of factories

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - For any communication-related exception.
