Class RemoteDiscoverer

Object

com.zebra.sdk.remote.discovery.RemoteDiscoverer

public class RemoteDiscoverer
extends Object

A class used to discover remote Link-OS printers connected via web sockets to a Zebra serlvet. There must be a server running a Zebra Web Service for this class to work.
If you want to discover locally connected IP printers, see NetworkDiscoverer

Method Detail

getConnectedPrinters

public static List<DiscoveredPrinter> getConnectedPrinters()
                                                    throws ConnectionException

Returns a list of remotely connected Zebra printers. This method assumes the Zebra Weblink servlet is running on the default Zebra Web Services port (11995).

Returns:

list of Link-OS printers currently connected via a web socket connection to the servlet.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if there is a problem connecting to the Zebra Weblink servlet.

See Also:

RemoteDiscoverer.getConnectedPrinters(int rmiServerPort) if your servlet is running on a different port.

getConnectedPrinters

public static List<DiscoveredPrinter> getConnectedPrinters(int rmiServerPort)
                                                    throws ConnectionException

Returns a list of remotely connected Zebra printers. The Zebra Weblink servlet needs to be running on the specified rmiServerPort.

Parameters:

rmiServerPort - the port the RMI server is running on.

Returns:

list of Link-OS printers currently connected via a web socket connection to the servlet.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if there is a problem connecting to the Zebra Weblink servlet.

registerForConnections

public static void registerForConnections(ConnectionHandlerI connectionHandler,
                          int rmiServerPort)
                                   throws ConnectionException

Register for connection events from the Zebra Weblink servlet.

Parameters:

connectionHandler - callback to receive connection events.

rmiServerPort - the port the RMI server is running on.

Throws:

ConnectionException - if there is a problem connecting to the Zebra Weblink servlet.
