## javax.management.relation
Class RelationSupport

    java.lang.Object
      javax.management.relation.RelationSupport

All Implemented Interfaces:
  MBeanRegistration, Relation, RelationSupportMBean

    public class RelationSupport

extends Object
implements RelationSupportMBean, MBeanRegistration

A RelationSupport object is used internally by the Relation Service to represent simple relations (only roles, no properties or methods), with an unlimited number of roles, of any relation type. As internal representation, it is not exposed to the user.

RelationSupport class conforms to the design patterns of standard MBean. So the user can decide to instantiate a RelationSupport object himself as a MBean (as it follows the MBean design patterns), to register it in the MBean Server, and then to add it in the Relation Service.

The user can also, when creating his own MBean relation class, have it extending RelationSupport, to retrieve the implementations of required interfaces (see below).

It is also possible to have in a user relation MBean class a member being a RelationSupport object, and to implement the required interfaces by delegating all to this member.

RelationSupport implements the Relation interface (to be handled by the Relation Service).

It implements also the MBeanRegistration interface to be able to retrieve the MBean Server where it is registered (if registered as a MBean) to access to its Relation Service.

Since:
  1.5

Constructor Detail

### RelationSupport

    public RelationSupport(String theRelId,
                           ObjectName theRelServiceName,
                           String theRelTypeName,
                           RoleList theRoleList)
                    throws InvalidRoleValueException,
                           IllegalArgumentException

  Creates object.

  This constructor has to be used when the RelationSupport object will be registered as a MBean by the user, or when creating a user relation MBean those class extends RelationSupport.

  Nothing is done at the Relation Service level, i.e. the RelationSupport object is not added, and no check if the provided values are correct. The object is always created, EXCEPT if:

  - one mandatory parameter is not provided

  - the same name is used for two roles.

  To be handled as a relation, the object has then to be added in the Relation Service using Relation Service method addRelation().

  Parameters:
    `theRelId` - relation identifier, to identify the relation in the Relation Service.

    Expected to be unique in the given Relation Service.

    `theRelServiceName` - ObjectName of the Relation Service where the relation will be registered.

    It is required as this is the Relation Service that is aware of the definition of the relation type of given relation, so that will be able to check update operations (set).

    `theRelTypeName` - Name of relation type.

    Expected to have been created in given Relation Service.

    `theRoleList` - list of roles (Role objects) to initialised the relation. Can be null.

    Expected to conform to relation info in associated relation type.

  Throws:
    `InvalidRoleValueException` - if the same name is used for two roles.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if a required value (Relation Service Object Name, etc.) is not provided as parameter.

### RelationSupport

    public RelationSupport(String theRelId,
                           ObjectName theRelServiceName,
                           MBeanServer theRelServiceMBeanServer,
                           String theRelTypeName,
                           RoleList theRoleList)
                    throws InvalidRoleValueException,
                           IllegalArgumentException

  Creates object.

  This constructor has to be used when the user relation MBean implements the interfaces expected to be supported by a relation by delegating to a RelationSupport object.

  This object needs to know the Relation Service expected to handle the relation. So it has to know the MBean Server where the Relation Service is registered.

  According to a limitation, a relation MBean must be registered in the same MBean Server as the Relation Service expected to handle it. So the user relation MBean has to be created and registered, and then the wrapped RelationSupport object can be created with identified MBean Server.

  Nothing is done at the Relation Service level, i.e. the RelationSupport object is not added, and no check if the provided values are correct. The object is always created, EXCEPT if:

  - one required parameter is not provided

  - the same name is used for two roles.

  To be handled as a relation, the object has then to be added in the Relation Service using the Relation Service method addRelation().

  Parameters:
    `theRelId` - relation identifier, to identify the relation in the Relation Service.

    Expected to be unique in the given Relation Service.

    `theRelServiceName` - ObjectName of the Relation Service where the relation will be registered.

    It is required as this is the Relation Service that is aware of the definition of the relation type of given relation, so that will be able to check update operations (set).

    `theRelServiceMBeanServer` - MBean Server where the wrapping MBean is or will be registered.

    Expected to be the MBean Server where the Relation Service is or will be registered.

    `theRelTypeName` - Name of relation type.

    Expected to have been created in given Relation Service.

    `theRoleList` - list of roles (Role objects) to initialised the relation. Can be null.

    Expected to conform to relation info in associated relation type.

  Throws:
    `InvalidRoleValueException` - if the same name is used for two roles.
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if a required value (Relation Service Object Name, etc.) is not provided as parameter.

                           throws Exception

  Description copied from interface: `MBeanRegistration`
  Allows the MBean to perform any operations it needs before being registered in the MBean server. If the name of the MBean is not specified, the MBean can provide a name for its registration. If any exception is raised, the MBean will not be registered in the MBean server.

    `preRegister` in interface `MBeanRegistration`
  Parameters:
    `server` - The MBean server in which the MBean will be registered.
    `name` - The object name of the MBean. This name is null if the name parameter to one of the `createMBean` or `registerMBean` methods in the `MBeanServer` interface is null. In that case, this method must return a non-null ObjectName for the new MBean.
  Returns:
    The name under which the MBean is to be registered. This value must not be null. If the `name` parameter is not null, it will usually but not necessarily be the returned value.
  Throws:
    `Exception` - This exception will be caught by the MBean server and re-thrown as an `MBeanRegistrationException`.

### postRegister

    public void postRegister(Boolean registrationDone)

  Description copied from interface: `MBeanRegistration`
  Allows the MBean to perform any operations needed after having been registered in the MBean server or after the registration has failed.

  Specified by:
    `postRegister` in interface `MBeanRegistration`
  Parameters:
    `registrationDone` - Indicates whether or not the MBean has been successfully registered in the MBean server. The value false means that the registration phase has failed.

### preDeregister

    public void preDeregister()
                       throws Exception

  Specified by:
    `preDeregister` in interface `MBeanRegistration`
  Throws:
    `Exception` - This exception will be caught by the MBean server and re-thrown as an `MBeanRegistrationException`.

### postDeregister

    public void postDeregister()

  Description copied from interface: `MBeanRegistration`
  Allows the MBean to perform any operations needed after having been unregistered in the MBean server.

  Description copied from interface: `RelationSupportMBean`

  Specifies whether this relation is handled by the Relation Service.

  BEWARE, this method has to be exposed as the Relation Service will access the relation through its management interface. It is RECOMMENDED NOT to use this method. Using it does not affect the registration of the relation object in the Relation Service, but will provide wrong information about it!

  Specified by:
    `setRelationServiceManagementFlag` in interface `RelationSupportMBean`
  Parameters:
    `theFlg` - whether the relation is handled by the Relation Service.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if null parameter
