Method Detail

testGet

public String testGet()

Test method to allow an administrator to verify the URL in a browser.

Returns:

a string beginning with "OK:".

nextRequest

public Request nextRequest(String cryptoSessionIDPrefix,
                           Response response)

Upload a Response and fetch the next Request. If there is no Response, yet, the key-manager must upload a NullResponse. This method forwards the response to MessageBroker.pushResponse(Response) and then polls the next request.

Parameters:

cryptoSessionIDPrefix - the prefix used by the key-manager, i.e. the unique identifier of the key-manager. This is used for efficient routing of requests, i.e. by MessageBroker.pollRequest(String).

response - the last response or an instance of NullResponse (without requestID) if there is no last request to be replied.

Returns:

the next polled request or null if none popped up before the timeout.
