## Interface RMIConnection

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Closeable, Remote
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    RMIConnectionImpl, RMIConnectionImpl_Stub

      public interface RMIConnection
      extends Closeable, Remote

  RMI object used to forward an MBeanServer request from a client to its MBeanServer implementation on the server side. There is one Remote object implementing this interface for each remote client connected to an RMI connector.

  User code does not usually refer to this interface. It is specified as part of the public API so that different implementations of that API will interoperate.

  To ensure that client parameters will be deserialized at the server side with the correct classloader, client parameters such as parameters used to invoke a method are wrapped in a `MarshalledObject`. An implementation of this interface must first get the appropriate class loader for the operation and its target, then deserialize the marshalled parameters with this classloader. Except as noted, a parameter that is a `MarshalledObject` or `MarshalledObject[]` must not be null; the behavior is unspecified if it is.

  Class loading aspects are detailed in the JMX Specification, version 1.4 PDF document.

  Most methods in this interface parallel methods in the `MBeanServerConnection` interface. Where an aspect of the behavior of a method is not specified here, it is the same as in the corresponding `MBeanServerConnection` method.

                                                    IOException

      Handles the method `MBeanServerConnection.addNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object)`.

      Register for notifications from the given MBeans that match the given filters. The remote client can subsequently retrieve the notifications using the `fetchNotifications` method.

      For each listener, the original `NotificationListener` and `handback` are kept on the client side; in order for the client to be able to identify them, the server generates and returns a unique `listenerID`. This `listenerID` is forwarded with the `Notifications` to the remote client.

      If any one of the given (name, filter) pairs cannot be registered, then the operation fails with an exception, and no names or filters are registered.

      Parameters:
        `names` - the `ObjectNames` identifying the MBeans emitting the Notifications.
        `filters` - an array of marshalled representations of the `NotificationFilters`. Elements of this array can be null.
        `delegationSubjects` - the `Subjects` on behalf of which the listeners are being added. Elements of this array can be null. Also, the `delegationSubjects` parameter itself can be null, which is equivalent to an array of null values with the same size as the `names` and `filters` arrays.
      Returns:
        an array of `listenerIDs` identifying the local listeners. This array has the same number of elements as the parameters.
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `names` or `filters` is null, or if `names` contains a null element, or if the three arrays do not all have the same size.
        `ClassCastException` - if one of the elements of `filters` unmarshalls as a non-null object that is not a `NotificationFilter`.
        `InstanceNotFoundException` - if one of the `names` does not correspond to any registered MBean.
        `SecurityException` - if, for one of the MBeans, the client, or the delegated Subject if any, does not have permission to add a listener.
        `IOException` - if a general communication exception occurred.

    - #### removeNotificationListeners

          void removeNotificationListeners(ObjectName name,
                                         Integer[] listenerIDs,
                                         Subject delegationSubject)
                                           throws InstanceNotFoundException,
                                                  ListenerNotFoundException,
                                                  IOException

      Handles the `removeNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener)` and `removeNotificationListener(ObjectName, NotificationListener, NotificationFilter, Object)` methods.

      This method removes one or more `NotificationListener`s from a given MBean in the MBean server.

      The `NotificationListeners` are identified by the IDs which were returned by the `addNotificationListeners(ObjectName[], MarshalledObject[], Subject[])` method.

      Parameters:
        `name` - the `ObjectName` identifying the MBean emitting the Notifications.
        `listenerIDs` - the list of the IDs corresponding to the listeners to remove.
        `delegationSubject` - The `Subject` containing the delegation principals or `null` if the authentication principal is used instead.
      Throws:
        `InstanceNotFoundException` - if the given `name` does not correspond to any registered MBean.
        `ListenerNotFoundException` - if one of the listeners was not found on the server side. This exception can happen if the MBean discarded a listener for some reason other than a call to `MBeanServer.removeNotificationListener`.
        `SecurityException` - if the client, or the delegated Subject if any, does not have permission to remove the listeners.
        `IOException` - if a general communication exception occurred.
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `ObjectName` or `listenerIds` is null or if `listenerIds` contains a null element.

    - #### fetchNotifications

          NotificationResult fetchNotifications(long clientSequenceNumber,
                                              int maxNotifications,
                                              long timeout)
                                                throws IOException

      Retrieves notifications from the connector server. This method can block until there is at least one notification or until the specified timeout is reached. The method can also return at any time with zero notifications.

      A notification can be included in the result if its sequence number is no less than `clientSequenceNumber` and this client has registered at least one listener for the MBean generating the notification, with a filter that accepts the notification. Each listener that is interested in the notification is identified by an Integer ID that was returned by `addNotificationListeners(ObjectName[], MarshalledObject[], Subject[])`.

      Parameters:
        `clientSequenceNumber` - the first sequence number that the client is interested in. If negative, it is interpreted as meaning the sequence number that the next notification will have.
        `maxNotifications` - the maximum number of different notifications to return. The `TargetedNotification` array in the returned `NotificationResult` can have more elements than this if the same notification appears more than once. The behavior is unspecified if this parameter is negative.
        `timeout` - the maximum time in milliseconds to wait for a notification to arrive. This can be 0 to indicate that the method should not wait if there are no notifications, but should return at once. It can be `Long.MAX_VALUE` to indicate that there is no timeout. The behavior is unspecified if this parameter is negative.
      Returns:
        A `NotificationResult`.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if a general communication exception occurred.
