# DRb::DRbServer

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 `DRb.start_service`.

### Constants

INSECURE_METHOD

  List of insecure methods.

  These methods are not callable via dRuby.

### Attributes

config[R]

The configuration of this DRbServer

front[R]

The front object of the DRbServer.

This object receives remote method calls made on the server's URI alone, with an object id.

thread[R]

The main thread of this DRbServer.

This is the thread that listens for and accepts connections from clients, not that handles each client's request-response session.

uri[R]

The URI of this DRbServer.

### Public Class Methods

default_acl(acl) click to toggle source

Set the default access control list to `acl`. The default `ACL` is `nil`.

See also DRb::ACL and new()

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1374
    def self.default_acl(acl)
      @@acl = acl
    end

default_argc_limit(argc) click to toggle source

Set the default value for the :argc_limit option.

See new(). The initial default value is 256.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1360

      @@argc_limit = argc
    end

default_id_conv(idconv) click to toggle source

Set the default value for the :id_conv option.

See new(). The initial default value is a `DRbIdConv` instance.

      @@idconv = idconv
    end

default_load_limit(sz) click to toggle source

Set the default value for the :load_limit option.

See new(). The initial default value is 25 MB.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1367
    def self.default_load_limit(sz)
      @@load_limit = sz
    end

new(uri=nil, front=nil, config_or_acl=nil) click to toggle source

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.

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.

### Public Instance Methods

alive?() click to toggle source

Is this server alive?

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1514
    def alive?
      @thread.alive?
    end

check_insecure_method(obj, msg_id) click to toggle source

Check that a method is callable via dRuby.

`obj` is the object we want to invoke the method on. `msg_id` is the method name, as a Symbol.

If the method is an insecure method (see insecure_method?) a SecurityError is thrown. If the method is private or undefined, a NameError is thrown.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1602
    def check_insecure_method(obj, msg_id)
      return true if Proc === obj && msg_id == :__drb_yield
      raise(ArgumentError, "#{any_to_s(msg_id)} is not a symbol") unless Symbol == msg_id.class
      raise(SecurityError, "insecure method `#{msg_id}'") if insecure_method?(msg_id)

      case obj
      when Object
        if obj.private_methods.include?(msg_id)
          desc = any_to_s(obj)
          raise NoMethodError, "private method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
        elsif obj.protected_methods.include?(msg_id)
          desc = any_to_s(obj)
          raise NoMethodError, "protected method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
        else
          true
        end
      else
        if Kernel.instance_method(:private_methods).bind(obj).call.include?(msg_id)
          desc = any_to_s(obj)
          raise NoMethodError, "private method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
        elsif Kernel.instance_method(:protected_methods).bind(obj).call.include?(msg_id)
          desc = any_to_s(obj)
          raise NoMethodError, "protected method `#{msg_id}' called for #{desc}"
        else
          true
        end
      end
    end

here?(uri) click to toggle source

Is `uri` the URI for this server?

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1519
    def here?(uri)
      @exported_uri.include?(uri)
    end

stop_service() click to toggle source

Stop this server.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1524
    def stop_service
      DRb.remove_server(self)
      if  Thread.current['DRb'] && Thread.current['DRb']['server'] == self
        Thread.current['DRb']['stop_service'] = true
      else
        shutdown
      end
    end

to_id(obj) click to toggle source

Convert a local object to a dRuby reference.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1541
    def to_id(obj)
      return nil if obj.__id__ == front.__id__
      @idconv.to_id(obj)
    end

to_obj(ref) click to toggle source

Convert a dRuby reference to the local object it refers to.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1534
    def to_obj(ref)
      return front if ref.nil?
      return front[ref.to_s] if DRbURIOption === ref
      @idconv.to_obj(ref)
    end

verbose() click to toggle source

Get whether the server is in verbose mode.

In verbose mode, failed calls are logged to stdout.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1511
    def verbose; @config[:verbose]; end

verbose=(v) click to toggle source

Set whether to operate in verbose mode.

In verbose mode, failed calls are logged to stdout.

                   # File drb/drb.rb, line 1506
    def verbose=(v); @config[:verbose]=v; end
