78 | /** | |
79 | * This interface defines the basic methods that can be performed on a read-only | |
80 | * repository. It provides methods for retrieving attributes from a given entry | |
81 | * (attributes and entries are terms like for the Directory). Besides this the | |
82 | * caller can enquire on the status of the repository between calls to react | |
83 | * more | |
84 | * intelligently should an outage occur. | |
85 | * | |
86 | * <p>Note that some terms (like DN) are Directory-like, but in fact they are | |
87 | * treated in a quite general fashion, and the interface does not require them | |
88 | * to be DNs, if the implementation uses a different naming convention. | |
89 | * | |
90 | * <p>For better multi-threaded support it is advised that the methods were | |
91 | * NOT synchronized, so that multiple threads could request attributes | |
92 | * simultaneously. Note also that if you do need them to be synchronized, make | |
93 | * sure that there will be no recursive invocation of it from multiple threads. | |
94 | * For example, MultiRepository spawns multiple threads that often invoke the | |
95 | * same MultiRepository; if somehow your repository invokes getAttributes on | |
96 | * the same MultiRepository that called it, the synchronized method in your | |
97 | * repository may block execution. So the remedy is: don't wrap repositories | |
98 | * that may call you, or don't use synchronized methods. | |
