Detailed Description

Interface used to manipulate and evaluate filters.

An event filter posseses multiple constraints, each constraint applies to a limited range of event types, the filter is accepted if it matches one or more constraint expressions that apply to its event type.

Member Function Documentation

ConstraintInfoSeq CosNotifyFilter::Filter::add_constraints

(

in ConstraintExpSeq

constraint_list

)

raises (InvalidConstraint)

Add constraints to a filter.

Return the constraints and their IDs.

Exceptions:

InvalidConstraint

if one or more constraints contain invalid an invalid expression in the Filter constraint grammar.

CallbackID CosNotifyFilter::Filter::attach_callback

(

in CosNotifyComm::NotifySubscribe

callback

)

Add a callback interface to the filter.

Filters can communicate changes in the list of event types they potentially accept.

Parameters:

callback

the object interested about changes in the Filter event type list.

Returns:

A unique ID attached to the callback interface.

void CosNotifyFilter::Filter::destroy

(

)

Destroy the Filter.

void CosNotifyFilter::Filter::detach_callback

(

in CallbackID

callback

)

raises ( CallbackNotFound )

Remove a callback interface from the filter.

Parameters:

callback

The ID of the callback removed

Exceptions:

CallbackNotFound

if the callback id supplied is not found in the internal list of callbacks.

ConstraintInfoSeq CosNotifyFilter::Filter::get_all_constraints

(

)

The all the constraints in the Filter.

CallbackIDSeq CosNotifyFilter::Filter::get_callbacks

(

)

Return all the callback IDs in the Filter object.

ConstraintInfoSeq CosNotifyFilter::Filter::get_constraints

(

in ConstraintIDSeq

id_list

)

raises (ConstraintNotFound)

Obtain the one or more constraints given their IDs.

Parameters:

id_list

List of IDs queried

Exceptions:

ConstraintNotFound

if one or more of the ConstraintID supplied are not found.

boolean CosNotifyFilter::Filter::match

(

in any

filterable_data

)

raises (UnsupportedFilterableData)

Match a regular event against the constraints in the filter.

Parameters:

filterable_data

The Notification Service event to be tested against the constraints in this Filter

Returns:

TRUE if at least one constraint evaluates to TRUE for the event.

Exceptions:

UnsupportedFilterableData

if the event contents do not match the filtering expression, for example, if the expression for a filterable field expects a string, but the actual value is a number.

boolean CosNotifyFilter::Filter::match_structured

(

in CosNotification::StructuredEvent

filterable_data

)

raises (UnsupportedFilterableData)

Match a structured event against the constraints in the filter.

Parameters:

filterable_data

The Notification Service event to be tested against the constraints in this Filter

Returns:

TRUE if at least one constraint expression evaluates to TRUE for the event.

Exceptions:

UnsupportedFilterableData

if the event contents do not match the filtering expression, for example, if the expression for a filterable field expects a string, but the actual value is a number.

boolean CosNotifyFilter::Filter::match_typed

(

in CosNotification::PropertySeq

filterable_data

)

raises (UnsupportedFilterableData)

Match a typed event against the constraints in the filter.

Parameters:

filterable_data

The sequence of properties that make the filterable portion of the Typed event.

Returns:

TRUE if at least one constraint expression evaluates to TRUE for the event.

Exceptions:

UnsupportedFilterableData

if the event contents do not match the filtering expression, for example, if the expression for a filterable field expects a string, but the actual value is a number.

void CosNotifyFilter::Filter::modify_constraints	(	in ConstraintIDSeq	del_list,
		in ConstraintInfoSeq	modify_list
	)			raises (InvalidConstraint, ConstraintNotFound)

Modify and/or remove multiple constraints in the Filter.

The operation can raise InvalidConstraint if one or more constraints contain invalid expressions in the constraint grammar.

Parameters:

	del_list	List of constraint IDs to be removed
	modify_list	List of constrained modified

Exceptions:

ConstraintNotFound

If one or more of the ConstraintID supplied are not found.

void CosNotifyFilter::Filter::remove_all_constraints

(

)

Remove all the constraints from the Filter.
