Detailed Description

This class ensures that policies submitted to Lookup make sense, have the correct value types, and don't exceed the maximums set through the Admin Interface.

TAO_Policies does an admirable job of reconciling differences between the default parameter settings of the Trader and the import and other policies set by the client. Unbeknownst to its client TAO_Policies hides this arbitration, and records whether the user policy was chosen, or the default. This information gets returned to the invoker of the query method.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum TAO_Policies::POLICY_TYPE

This enum represents the relative order that properties are passed from one trader to another. Hence, as recommended by the spec, the starting_trader policies will be the first element in the polcy sequence if it's set for a query. Enumeration values: STARTING_TRADER  EXACT_TYPE_MATCH  HOP_COUNT  LINK_FOLLOW_RULE  MATCH_CARD  RETURN_CARD  SEARCH_CARD  USE_DYNAMIC_PROPERTIES  USE_MODIFIABLE_PROPERTIES  USE_PROXY_OFFERS  REQUEST_ID

Member Function Documentation

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Policies::boolean_prop (  POLICY_TYPE  pol  )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch) [private]

Reconcile a Boolean property with its debault.

void TAO_Policies::copy_in_follow_option (  CosTrading::PolicySeq &  policy_seq, const CosTrading::Link::LinkInfo &  link_info )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch, CosTrading::Lookup::InvalidPolicyValue)

Determine the link follow policy to pass down the link with <link_name>. This method returns the link_follow_rule for a link whose name is <link_name> using the following formula: If the importer specified a link_follow_rule, policy pass on min(query.link_follow_rule, link.limiting_follow_rule, trader.max_follow_policy) else pass on min(link.def_pass_on_follow_rule, trader.max_follow_policy)

void TAO_Policies::copy_to_forward (  CosTrading::PolicySeq &  policy_seq, const CosTrading::TraderName &  name )  const

Policies to forward to the next trader in a directed query.

void TAO_Policies::copy_to_pass (  CosTrading::PolicySeq &  policy_seq, const CosTrading::Admin::OctetSeq &  request_id )  const

Policies to forward to the next trader in a federated query.

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Policies::exact_type_match (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CORBA::ULong TAO_Policies::hop_count (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CosTrading::FollowOption TAO_Policies::link_follow_rule (  const CosTrading::Link::LinkInfo &  link_info  )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch, CosTrading::Lookup::InvalidPolicyValue, CosTrading::Link::IllegalLinkName, CosTrading::Link::UnknownLinkName)

Determine the link follow policy for a given <link_name>. This method returns the link_follow_rule for a link whose name is <link_name> using the following formula: if the importer specified a link_follow_rule policy min(trader.max_follow_policy, link.limiting_follow_rule, query.link_follow_rule) else min(trader.max_follow_policy, link.limiting_follow_rule, trader.def_follow_policy)

CosTrading::FollowOption TAO_Policies::link_follow_rule (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

Determine the link follow policy for this query overall.

CORBA::ULong TAO_Policies::match_card (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

TAO_Policies& TAO_Policies::operator= (  const TAO_Policies &   )  [private]

CosTrading::Admin::OctetSeq * TAO_Policies::request_id (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

Return the request_id passed to the query method across a link to another trader.

CORBA::ULong TAO_Policies::return_card (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CORBA::ULong TAO_Policies::search_card (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CosTrading::TraderName * TAO_Policies::starting_trader (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch, CosTrading::Lookup::InvalidPolicyValue)

BEGIN SPEC The "starting_trader" policy facilitates the distribution of the trading service itself. It allows an importer to scope a search by choosing to explicitly navigate the links of the trading graph. If the policy is used in a query invocation it is recommended that it be the first policy-value pair; this facilitates an optimal forwarding of the query operation. A "policies" parameter need not include a value for the "starting_trader" policy. Where this policy is present, the first name component is compared against the name held in each link. If no match is found, the InvalidPolicyValue exception is raised. Otherwise, the trader invokes query() on the Lookup interface held by the named link, but passing the "starting_trader" policy with the first component removed. END SPEC

CORBA::ULong TAO_Policies::ulong_prop (  POLICY_TYPE  pol  )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch) [private]

Reconclile a ULong property with its default.

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Policies::use_dynamic_properties (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Policies::use_modifiable_properties (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)

CORBA::Boolean TAO_Policies::use_proxy_offers (   )  const throw (CosTrading::Lookup::PolicyTypeMismatch)
