14 * Provides access to registered Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service implementations. The RPCs are
15 * defined in YANG models.
17 * RPC implementations are registered using the {@link RpcProviderRegistry}.
20 public interface RpcConsumerRegistry extends BindingAwareService, BindingService {
22 * Returns an implementation of a requested RPC service.
25 * The returned instance is not an actual implementation of the RPC service
26 * interface, but a proxy implementation of the interface that forwards to
27 * an actual implementation, if any.
30 * The following describes the behavior of the proxy when invoking RPC methods:
32 * <li>If an actual implementation is registered with the MD-SAL, all invocations are
33 * forwarded to the registered implementation.</li>
34 * <li>If no actual implementation is registered, all invocations will fail by
35 * throwing {@link IllegalStateException}.</li>
36 * <li>Prior to invoking the actual implementation, the method arguments are are validated.
37 * If any are invalid, an {@link IllegalArgumentException} is thrown.
40 * The returned proxy is automatically updated with the most recent
41 * registered implementation.
43 * The generated RPC method APIs require implementors to return a {@link java.util.concurrent.Future Future}
44 * instance that wraps the {@link org.opendaylight.yangtools.yang.common.RpcResult RpcResult}. Since
45 * RPC methods may be implemented asynchronously, callers should avoid blocking on the
46 * {@link java.util.concurrent.Future Future} result. Instead, it is recommended to use
47 * {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.JdkFutureAdapters#listenInPoolThread(java.util.concurrent.Future)}
48 * or {@link com.google.common.util.concurrent.JdkFutureAdapters#listenInPoolThread(java.util.concurrent.Future, java.util.concurrent.Executor)}
49 * to listen for Rpc Result. This will asynchronously listen for future result in executor and
50 * will not block current thread.
53 * final Future<RpcResult<SomeRpcOutput>> future = someRpcService.someRpc( ... );
54 * Futures.addCallback(JdkFutureAdapters.listenInThreadPool(future), new FutureCallback<RpcResult<SomeRpcOutput>>() {
56 * public void onSuccess(RpcResult<SomeRpcOutput> result) {
57 * // process result ...
60 * public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
65 * @param serviceInterface the interface of the RPC Service. Typically this is an interface generated
67 * @return the proxy for the requested RPC service. This method never returns null.
