Method Detail

list

List<CommandTypes.Identity> list(String path)

Returns the identifiers of all commands, or commands in a specific namespace.

Synchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported as a method return value.

Parameters:

path - The dot-separated path of the namespace for which command identifiers should be returned. If null identifiers of all commands registered with the infrastructure will be returned.

Returns:

Identifiers of the requested commands.

Throws:

NotFound - if a namespace corresponding to path doesn't exist.

NotFound - if a namespace corresponding to path doesn't exist.

list

void list(String path,
        AsyncCallback<List<CommandTypes.Identity>> asyncCallback)

Returns the identifiers of all commands, or commands in a specific namespace.

Asynchronous method overload. Result of the invocation will be reported via the specified asyncCallback.

Operation Result:
Identifiers of the requested commands.

Operation Errors:
NotFound - if a namespace corresponding to path doesn't exist.

Parameters:

path - The dot-separated path of the namespace for which command identifiers should be returned. If null identifiers of all commands registered with the infrastructure will be returned.

asyncCallback - Receives the status (progress, result or error) of the operation invocation.
