DRb::DRbServer

Set the default value for the :acl option.

See new(). The initial default value is nil.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1246
def self.default_acl(acl)
  @@acl = acl
end
            

Set the default value for the :argc_limit option.

See new(). The initial default value is 256.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1232
def self.default_argc_limit(argc)
  @@argc_limit = argc
end
            

Set the default value for the :id_conv option.

See new(). The initial default value is a DRbIdConv instance.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1253
def self.default_id_conv(idconv)
  @@idconv = idconv
end
            

Set the default value for the :load_limit option.

See new(). The initial default value is 25 MB.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1239
def self.default_load_limit(sz)
  @@load_limit = sz
end
            

Create a new DRbServer instance.

uri is the URI to bind to. This is normally of the form 'druby://<hostname>:<port>' where <hostname> is a hostname of the local machine. If nil, then the system's default hostname will be bound to, on a port selected by the system; these value can be retrieved from the uri attribute. 'druby:' specifies the default dRuby transport protocol: another protocol, such as 'drbunix:', can be specified instead.

front is the front object for the server, that is, the object to which remote method calls on the server will be passed. If nil, then the server will not accept remote method calls.

If config_or_acl is a hash, it is the configuration to use for this server. The following options are recognised:

:idconv

an id-to-object conversion object. This defaults to an instance of the class DRb::DRbIdConv.

:verbose

if true, all unsuccessful remote calls on objects in the server will be logged to $stdout. false by default.

:tcp_acl

the access control list for this server. See the ACL class from the main dRuby distribution.

:load_limit

the maximum message size in bytes accepted by the server. Defaults to 25 MB (26214400).

:argc_limit

the maximum number of arguments to a remote method accepted by the server. Defaults to 256.

The default values of these options can be modified on a class-wide basis by the class methods default_argc_limit, default_load_limit, default_acl, default_id_conv, and verbose=

If config_or_acl is not a hash, but is not nil, it is assumed to be the access control list for this server. See the :tcp_acl option for more details.

If no other server is currently set as the primary server, this will become the primary server.

The server will immediately start running in its own thread.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1328
def initialize(uri=nil, front=nil, config_or_acl=nil)
  if Hash === config_or_acl
    config = config_or_acl.dup
  else
    acl = config_or_acl || @@acl
    config = {
      :tcp_acl => acl
    }
  end

  @config = self.class.make_config(config)

  @protocol = DRbProtocol.open_server(uri, @config)
  @uri = @protocol.uri

  @front = front
  @idconv = @config[:idconv]
  @safe_level = @config[:safe_level]

  @grp = ThreadGroup.new
  @thread = run

  DRb.regist_server(self)
end
            

Get the default value of the :verbose option.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1269
def self.verbose
  @@verbose
end
            

Set the default value of the :verbose option.

See new(). The initial default value is false.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1264
def self.verbose=(on)
  @@verbose = on
end
            

Is this server alive?

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1385
def alive?
  @thread.alive?
end
            

Check that a method is callable via dRuby.

obj is the object we want to invoke the method on. msg_id is the method name, as a Symbol.

If the method is an insecure method (see insecure_method?) a SecurityError is thrown. If the method is private or undefined, a NameError is thrown.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1468
def check_insecure_method(obj, msg_id)
  return true if Proc === obj && msg_id == :__drb_yield
  raise(ArgumentError, "#{any_to_s(msg_id)} is not a symbol") unless Symbol == msg_id.class
  raise(SecurityError, "insecure method `#{msg_id}'") if insecure_method?(msg_id)
  
  if obj.private_methods.include?(msg_id.to_s)
    desc = any_to_s(obj)
    raise NoMethodError, "private method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
  elsif obj.protected_methods.include?(msg_id.to_s)
    desc = any_to_s(obj)
    raise NoMethodError, "protected method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
  else
    true
  end
end
            

Stop this server.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1390
def stop_service
  DRb.remove_server(self)
  if  Thread.current['DRb'] && Thread.current['DRb']['server'] == self
    Thread.current['DRb']['stop_service'] = true
  else
    @thread.kill
  end
end
            

Convert a local object to a dRuby reference.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1407
def to_id(obj)
  return nil if obj.__id__ == front.__id__
  @idconv.to_id(obj)
end
            

Convert a dRuby reference to the local object it refers to.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1400
def to_obj(ref)
  return front if ref.nil?
  return front[ref.to_s] if DRbURIOption === ref
  @idconv.to_obj(ref)
end
            

Get whether the server is in verbose mode.

In verbose mode, failed calls are logged to stdout.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1382
def verbose; @config[:verbose]; end
            

Set whether to operate in verbose mode.

In verbose mode, failed calls are logged to stdout.

 
               # File drb/drb.rb, line 1377
def verbose=(v); @config[:verbose]=v; end
