Interface ContainerInvoker

All Superinterfaces:
  ContainerPlugin, Service

All Known Implementing Classes:
  JMSContainerInvoker, JRMPContainerInvoker, JRMPContainerInvoker, JRMPContainerInvoker

public interface ContainerInvoker
extends ContainerPlugin

This is an interface for Container plugins. Implementations of this interface are responsible for receiving remote invocations of EJB's and to forward these requests to the Container it is being used with. It is responsible for providing any EJBObject and EJBHome implementations (which may be statically or dynamically created). Before forwarding a call to the container it must call Thread.setContextClassLoader() with the classloader of the container. It must also handle any propagated transaction and security contexts properly. It may acquire the TransactionManager from JNDI.
