The MetaServer class is a helper class created out of the need to store all the Meta-Server related configuration into a single object during the server initialisation.

It holds information about the Meta-Server‘s host name and port number along with credentials to access it.

Objects of this class are never persisted in the DB and only live in memory associated with a user‘s session.

To create a MetaServer object you need to provide a configuration Hash containing the following items:

host port user password

[ show source ]

    # File app/models/meta_server.rb, line 21
21:   def initialize(attributes={})
22:     if (([ 'host', 'port', 'user', 'password' ] &  attributes.keys).size != 4)
23:       raise 'Submit all the required fields'
24:     end
25: 
26:     @host = attributes.fetch( 'host', '' )
27:     @port = attributes.fetch( 'port', '' )
28:     @user = attributes.fetch( 'user', '' )
29:     @password = attributes.fetch( 'password', '' )
30:   end
