Class Hub


  • public class Hub
    extends java.lang.Object
    Class which manages a hub and its associated profiles. Static methods are provided for starting a hub in the current or an external JVM, and a main() method is provided for use from the command line.

    Some of the static methods allow you to indicate which hub profiles should be used, others use a default. The default list can be set programmatically by using the setDefaultProfileClasses(java.lang.Class[], boolean) method or externally by using the "jsamp.hub.profiles" and "jsamp.hub.profiles.extra" system properties. So, for instance, running an application with -Djsamp.hub.profiles=web,std will cause it to run hubs using both the Standard and Web profiles if it does not explicitly choose profiles.

      • runHub

        public static Hub runHub​(HubServiceMode hubMode,
                                 HubProfile[] profiles,
                                 HubProfile[] extraProfiles)
                          throws java.io.IOException
        Starts a SAMP hub with given sets of profiles. The returned hub is running.

        The profiles argument gives the profiles which will be started initially, and the extraProfiles argument lists more that can be started under user control later. If either or both list is given as null, suitable defaults will be used.

        If the hub mode corresponds to one of the GUI options, one of two things will happen. An attempt will be made to install an icon in the "system tray"; if this is successful, the attached popup menu will provide options for displaying the hub window and for shutting it down. If no system tray is available, the hub window will be posted directly, and the hub will shut down when this window is closed. System tray functionality is only available when running under Java 1.6 or later, and when using a suitable display manager.

        Parameters:
        hubMode - hub mode
        profiles - SAMP profiles to support on hub startup; if null a default set will be used
        extraProfiles - SAMP profiles to offer for later startup under user control; if null a default set will be used
        Returns:
        running hub
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • runHub

        public static Hub runHub​(HubServiceMode hubMode)
                          throws java.io.IOException
        Starts a SAMP hub with a default set of profiles. This convenience method invokes runHub(hubMode,null,null).
        Parameters:
        hubMode - hub mode
        Returns:
        running hub
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        See Also:
        runHub(HubServiceMode,HubProfile[],HubProfile[])
      • runExternalHub

        public static void runExternalHub​(HubServiceMode hubMode,
                                          java.lang.Class[] profileClasses,
                                          java.lang.Class[] extraProfileClasses)
                                   throws java.io.IOException
        Attempts to start a hub in a new JVM with a given set of profiles. The resulting hub can therefore outlast the lifetime of the current application. Because of the OS interaction required, it's hard to make this bulletproof, and it may fail without an exception, but we do our best.

        The classes specified by the profileClasses and extraProfileClasses arguments must implement HubProfile and must have a no-arg constructor. If null is given in either case suitable defaults, taken from the current JVM, are used.

        Parameters:
        hubMode - hub mode
        profileClasses - hub profile classes to start on hub startup
        extraProfileClasses - hub profile classes which may be started later under user control
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException

        checkExternalHubAvailability()
      • runExternalHub

        public static void runExternalHub​(HubServiceMode hubMode)
                                   throws java.io.IOException
        Attempts to run a hub in a new JVM with a default set of profiles. The default set is taken from that in this JVM. This convenience method invokes runExternalHub(hubMode,null,null).
        Parameters:
        hubMode - hub mode
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
        See Also:
        runExternalHub(HubServiceMode,java.lang.Class[],java.lang.Class[])
      • getRunningHubs

        public static Hub[] getRunningHubs()
        Returns an array of all the instances of this class which are currently running.
        Returns:
        running hubs
      • checkExternalHubAvailability

        public static void checkExternalHubAvailability()
                                                 throws java.io.IOException
        Attempts to determine whether an external hub can be started using runExternalHub. If it can be determined that such an attempt would fail, this method will throw an exception with an informative message. This method succeeding is not a guarantee that an external hub can be started successfullly. The behaviour of this method is not expected to change over the lifetime of a given JVM.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • main

        public static void main​(java.lang.String[] args)
        Main method, which allows configuration of which profiles will run and configuration of those individual profiles. Use the -h flag for usage.
      • runMain

        public static int runMain​(java.lang.String[] args)
                           throws java.io.IOException
        Invoked by main. In case of a usage error, it returns a non-zero value, but does not call System.exit.
        Parameters:
        args - command-line argument array
        Returns:
        non-zero for error completion
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
