Class Method Details

.config ⇒ Object

Get the configuration of the current server.

If there is no current server, this returns the default configuration. See #current_server and DRbServer::make_config.

def config
  current_server.config
rescue
  DRbServer.make_config
end

.current_server ⇒ Object

Get the ‘current’ server.

In the context of execution taking place within the main thread of a dRuby server (typically, as a result of a remote call on the server or one of its objects), the current server is that server. Otherwise, the current server is the primary server.

If the above rule fails to find a server, a DRbServerNotFound error is raised.

Raises:

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1715

def current_server
  drb = Thread.current['DRb']
  server = (drb && drb['server']) ? drb['server'] : @primary_server
  raise DRbServerNotFound unless server
  return server
end

.fetch_server(uri) ⇒ Object

Retrieves the server with the given uri.

See also regist_server and remove_server.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1855

def fetch_server(uri)
  @server[uri]
end

.front ⇒ Object

Get the front object of the current server.

This raises a DRbServerNotFound error if there is no current server. See #current_server.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1769

def front
  current_server.front
end

.here?(uri) ⇒ Boolean

Is uri the URI for the current local server?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1748

def here?(uri)
  current_server.here?(uri) rescue false
  # (current_server.uri rescue nil) == uri
end

.install_acl(acl) ⇒ Object

Set the default ACL to acl.

See DRb::DRbServer.default_acl.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1814

def install_acl(acl)
  DRbServer.default_acl(acl)
end

.install_id_conv(idconv) ⇒ Object

Set the default id conversion object.

This is expected to be an instance such as DRb::DRbIdConv that responds to #to_id and #to_obj that can convert objects to and from DRb references.

See DRbServer#default_id_conv.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1806

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1820

def mutex # :nodoc:
  @mutex
end

.primary_server ⇒ Object

The primary local dRuby server.

This is the server created by the #start_service call.



1702
1703
1704
 
# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1702

def primary_server
  @primary_server
end

.primary_server=(value) ⇒ Object

The primary local dRuby server.

This is the server created by the #start_service call.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1702

def primary_server=(value)
  @primary_server = value
end

.regist_server(server) ⇒ Object

Registers server with DRb.

This is called when a new DRb::DRbServer is created.

If there is no primary server then server becomes the primary server.

Example:

require 'drb'

s = DRb::DRbServer.new # automatically calls regist_server
DRb.fetch_server s.uri #=> #<DRb::DRbServer:0x...>

def regist_server(server)
  @server[server.uri] = server
  mutex.synchronize do
    @primary_server = server unless @primary_server
  end
end

.remove_server(server) ⇒ Object

Removes server from the list of registered servers.



1847
1848

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1847

def remove_server(server)
  @server.delete(server.uri)
end

.start_service(uri = nil, front = nil, config = nil) ⇒ Object

Start a dRuby server locally.

The new dRuby server will become the primary server, even if another server is currently the primary server.

uri is the URI for the server to bind to. If nil, the server will bind to random port on the default local host name and use the default dRuby protocol.

front is the server’s front object. This may be nil.

config is the configuration for the new server. This may be nil.

See DRbServer::new.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1694

def start_service(uri=nil, front=nil, config=nil)
  @primary_server = DRbServer.new(uri, front, config)
end

.stop_service ⇒ Object

Stop the local dRuby server.

This operates on the primary server. If there is no primary server currently running, it is a noop.

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1727

def stop_service
  @primary_server.stop_service if @primary_server
  @primary_server = nil
end

.thread ⇒ Object

Get the thread of the primary server.

This returns nil if there is no primary server. See #primary_server.

1796
1797
 
# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1795

def thread
  @primary_server ? @primary_server.thread : nil
end

.to_id(obj) ⇒ Object

Get a reference id for an object using the current server.

This raises a DRbServerNotFound error if there is no current server. See #current_server.



1786
1787

# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1786

def to_id(obj)
  current_server.to_id(obj)
end

.to_obj(ref) ⇒ Object

Convert a reference into an object using the current server.

This raises a DRbServerNotFound error if there is no current server. See #current_server.



1778
1779
1780
 
# File 'lib/drb/drb.rb', line 1778

def to_obj(ref)
  current_server.to_obj(ref)
end

.uri ⇒ Object

Get the URI defining the local dRuby space.

This is the URI of the current server. See #current_server.
