Interface RemoteCallable<V extends Serializable>

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable

public interface RemoteCallable<V extends Serializable>
extends Serializable

An interface used for executing a piece of code remotely.
Notes:

• The class that implements this interface needs to be cautious about platform path differences. A path passed to this class to executed on a remote system with different OS styles, especially a Windows master and Unix agents, will need to be converted. This can be done by calling Utilities.convertPath from inside the implementation of the call method. The path conversion should be called no matter the actual platform. The path conversion call does nothing if no conversion is needed.
  
• The only RunContext methods available to the code block are the local exec and java calls. All other calls to RunContext will result in a NullPointerException.
