Chapter 3: The ACE Reactor Framework
This chapter describes the design and use of the ACE Reactor
framework. This framework implements the Reactor pattern, which
allows event-driven applications to react to events originating from a
number of disparate sources. Application-specific logic resides in
framework-defined hook methods to which the framework
dispatches event processing. We show how to implement a logging
server using a reactor that detects and demultiplexes different types
of connection and data events from various event sources and then
dispatches the events to application-defined handlers that process the
events.
