Class DBusConnection

java.lang.Object
org.freedesktop.dbus.connections.AbstractConnection
org.freedesktop.dbus.connections.impl.DBusConnection
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

public final class DBusConnection extends AbstractConnection
Handles a connection to DBus.

This is a Singleton class, only 1 connection to the SYSTEM or SESSION busses can be made. Repeated calls to getConnection will return the same reference.

Signal Handlers and method calls from remote objects are run in their own threads, you MUST handle the concurrency issues.

      Throws:
      DBusException
    • getPeerRemoteObject

      public DBusInterface getPeerRemoteObject(String _busname, String _objectpath) throws DBusException
      Return a reference to a remote object. This method will resolve the well known name (if given) to a unique bus name when you call it. This means that if a well known name is released by one process and acquired by another calls to objects gained from this method will continue to operate on the original process. This method will use bus introspection to determine the interfaces on a remote object and so may block and may fail. The resulting proxy object will, however, be castable to any interface it implements. It will also autostart the process if applicable. Also note that the resulting proxy may fail to execute the correct method with overloaded methods and that complex types may fail in interesting ways. Basically, if something odd happens, try specifying the interface explicitly.
      Parameters:
      _busname - The bus name to connect to. Usually a well known bus name in dot-notation (such as "org.freedesktop.local") or may be a DBus address such as ":1-16".
      _objectpath - The path on which the process is exporting the object.$
      Returns:
      A reference to a remote object.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - If type is not a sub-type of DBusInterface
      DBusException - If busname or objectpath are incorrectly formatted.
    • getRemoteObject

      public DBusInterface getRemoteObject(String _busname, String _objectpath) throws DBusException
      Return a reference to a remote object. This method will always refer to the well known name (if given) rather than resolving it to a unique bus name. In particular this means that if a process providing the well known name disappears and is taken over by another process proxy objects gained by this method will make calls on the new proccess. This method will use bus introspection to determine the interfaces on a remote object and so may block and may fail. The resulting proxy object will, however, be castable to any interface it implements. It will also autostart the process if applicable. Also note that the resulting proxy may fail to execute the correct method with overloaded methods and that complex types may fail in interesting ways. Basically, if something odd happens, try specifying the interface explicitly.
      Parameters:
      _busname - The bus name to connect to. Usually a well known bus name name in dot-notation (such as "org.freedesktop.local") or may be a DBus address such as ":1-16".
      _objectpath - The path on which the process is exporting the object.
      Returns:
      A reference to a remote object.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - If type is not a sub-type of DBusInterface
      DBusException - If busname or objectpath are incorrectly formatted.
    • getPeerRemoteObject

      public <I extends DBusInterface> I getPeerRemoteObject(String _busname, String _objectpath, Class<I> _type, boolean _autostart) throws DBusException
      Return a reference to a remote object. This method will resolve the well known name (if given) to a unique bus name when you call it. This means that if a well known name is released by one process and acquired by another calls to objects gained from this method will continue to operate on the original process.
      Type Parameters:
      I - class extending DBusInterface
      Parameters:
      _busname - The bus name to connect to. Usually a well known bus name in dot-notation (such as "org.freedesktop.local") or may be a DBus address such as ":1-16".
      _objectpath - The path on which the process is exporting the object.$
      _type - The interface they are exporting it on. This type must have the same full class name and exposed method signatures as the interface the remote object is exporting.
      _autostart - Disable/Enable auto-starting of services in response to calls on this object. Default is enabled; when calling a method with auto-start enabled, if the destination is a well-known name and is not owned the bus will attempt to start a process to take the name. When disabled an error is returned immediately.
      Returns:
      A reference to a remote object.
      Throws:
      ClassCastException - If type is not a sub-type of DBusInterface
      DBusException - If busname or objectpath are incorrectly formatted or type is not in a package.
