public interface _IConfigOperations
extends _ServiceInterfaceOperations

Access to server configuration. These methods provide access to the state and configuration of the server and its components (e.g. the database). However, it should not be assumed that two subsequent calls to a proxy for this service will go to the same server due to clustering. Not all possible server configuration is available through this API. Some values (such as DB connection info, ports, etc.) must naturally be set before this service is accessible. Manages synchronization of the various configuration sources internally. It is therefore important that as far as possible all configuration changes take place via this interface and not, for example, directly via java.util.prefs.Preferences. Also used as the main developer example for developing (stateless) ome.api interfaces. See source code documentation for more.

Method Detail

getVersion_async

void getVersion_async(AMD_IConfig_getVersion __cb,
                      Ice.Current __current)
               throws ServerError

Provides the release version. OMERO-internal values will be in the form Major.minor.patch, starting with the value 4.0.0 for the 4.0 release, Spring 2009. Customized values should begin with a alphabetic sequence followed by a hyphen: ACME-0.0.1 and any build information should follow the patch number also with a hyphen: 4.0.0-RC1. These values will be removed by getVersion

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

getConfigValue_async

void getConfigValue_async(AMD_IConfig_getConfigValue __cb,
                          java.lang.String key,
                          Ice.Current __current)
                   throws ServerError

Retrieves a configuration value from the backend store. Permissions applied to the configuration value may cause a SecurityViolation to be thrown.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

key - The non-null name of the desired configuration value

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if the key is null or invalid.

SecurityViolation - if the value for the key is not readable.

ServerError

void getConfigValues_async(AMD_IConfig_getConfigValues __cb,
                           java.lang.String keyRegex,
                           Ice.Current __current)
                    throws ServerError

Retrieves configuration values from the backend store which match the given regex. Any configuration value which would throw an exception on being loaded is omitted.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

keyRegex - The non-null regex of the desired configuration values

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

getConfigDefaults_async

void getConfigDefaults_async(AMD_IConfig_getConfigDefaults __cb,
                             Ice.Current __current)
                      throws ServerError

Reads the etc/omero.properties file and returns all the key/value pairs that are found there. Since this file is not to be edited its assumed that these values are in the public domain and so there's no need to protect them.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

getClientConfigValues_async

void getClientConfigValues_async(AMD_IConfig_getClientConfigValues __cb,
                                 Ice.Current __current)
                          throws ServerError

Retrieves configuration values like getConfigValues but only those with the prefix omero.client.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

getClientConfigDefaults_async

void getClientConfigDefaults_async(AMD_IConfig_getClientConfigDefaults __cb,
                                   Ice.Current __current)
                            throws ServerError

Reads the etc/omero.properties file and returns all the key/value pairs that are found there which match the prefix omero.client.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

setConfigValue_async

void setConfigValue_async(AMD_IConfig_setConfigValue __cb,
                          java.lang.String key,
                          java.lang.String value,
                          Ice.Current __current)
                   throws ServerError

Sets a configuration value in the backend store. Permissions applied to the configuration value may cause a SecurityViolation to be thrown. If the value is null or empty, then the configuration will be removed in all writable configuration sources. If the configuration is set in a non-modifiable source (e.g. in a property file on the classpath), then a subsequent call to getConfigValue will return that value.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

key - The non-null name of the desired configuration value

value - The string value to assign to the given key.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ApiUsageException - if the key is null or invalid.

SecurityViolation - if the value is not writable.

ServerError

void setConfigValueIfEquals_async(AMD_IConfig_setConfigValueIfEquals __cb,
                                  java.lang.String key,
                                  java.lang.String value,
                                  java.lang.String test,

                           throws ServerError

Calls setConfigValue if and only if the configuration property is currently equal to the test argument. If the test is null or empty, then the configuration property will be set only if missing.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

key -

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ApiUsageException

SecurityViolation

ServerError

getDatabaseUuid_async

void getDatabaseUuid_async(AMD_IConfig_getDatabaseUuid __cb,
                           Ice.Current __current)
                    throws ServerError

Provides the UUID for this OMERO (database) instance. To make imports and exports function properly, only one physical database should be active with a given instance UUID. All other copies of the database with that UUID are invalid as soon as one modification is made. This value is stored in the configuration table under the key omero.db.uuid.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError

getDatabaseTime_async

void getDatabaseTime_async(AMD_IConfig_getDatabaseTime __cb,
                           Ice.Current __current)
                    throws ServerError

Checks the database for its time using a SELECT statement.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

InternalException - though any call can throw an InternalException it is more likely that this can occur while contacting the DB. An exception here most likely means (A) a temporary issue with the DB or (B) a SQL dialect issue which must be corrected by the Omero team.

ServerError

getServerTime_async

void getServerTime_async(AMD_IConfig_getServerTime __cb,
                         Ice.Current __current)
                  throws ServerError

Checks the current server for its time. This value may be variant depending on whether the service is clustered or not.

Parameters:

__cb - The callback object for the operation.

__current - The Current object for the invocation.

Throws:

ServerError
