Class SEHRConnectionDriver

java.lang.Object
  org.ifeth.sehr.client.api.SEHRConnectionDriver

All Implemented Interfaces:

SEHRConnectionDriverInterface

public class SEHRConnectionDriver

extends java.lang.Object

implements SEHRConnectionDriverInterface

Driver for handling different client/server connctions like LAN/WLAN, Dial-Up and others.

Common Usage: Use static method to load the driver and let SEHRRemotemanage the connection. The driver itself is an abstract class that will be instanciated here as an object that includes various methods for onnection control and notification messages (see ConnectionDriver).

To improve the flexibility of possible physical links to a SEHR host the required or prefered driver will be loaded by a class loader. This class is an layer between the physical connection driver and the requirements of connections by the SEHR components. Discussed requirements are:

One connection handler for any kind of physical c/s access to reduce and prevent driver specific coding in the API model classes

Flexible usage of proven drivers for RAS connctions

Common and reusable methods to get state and summary informations about the current or previous connections

Hide sensible informations from client applications to improve security

Easy to use connection methods for developers of client applications

Code and connection stability
