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.
