Overview

Class representing a drb server instance.

A DRbServer must be running in the local process before any incoming dRuby calls can be accepted, or any local objects can be passed as dRuby references to remote processes, even if those local objects are never actually called remotely. You do not need to start a DRbServer in the local process if you are only making outgoing dRuby calls passing marshalled parameters.

Unless multiple servers are being used, the local DRbServer is normally started by calling start_service.

Instance Method Summary

Constructor Details

.new(uri = nil, front = nil, config_or_acl = nil) ⇒ DRbServer

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
:safe_level

The safe level of the DRbServer. The attribute

sets $SAFE for methods performed in the main_loop.
Defaults to 0.

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.

The main loop performed by a DRbServer’s internal thread.



Accepts a connection from a client, and starts up its own thread to handle it.  This thread loops, receiving requests from the client, invoking them on a local object, and returning responses, until the client closes the connection or a local method call fails.
