Interface LocalContainerInvoker

All Superinterfaces:

ContainerPlugin, Service

All Known Implementing Classes:

BaseLocalContainerInvoker

public interface LocalContainerInvoker

extends ContainerPlugin

This is an extension to the ContainerInvoker interface. Although some implementations of the ContainerInvoker interface may provide access to local interfaces, others (e.g. which provide remote distribution) will not. Good example: the JRMP delegates do not need to implement this interface.
