Detailed Description

Event Channel Gateway using IIOP.

This class mediates among two event channels, it connects as a consumer of events with a remote event channel, and as a supplier of events with the local EC. As a consumer it gives a QoS designed to only accept the events in which *local* consumers are interested. Eventually the local EC should create this object and compute its QoS in an automated manner; but this requires some way to filter out the peers registered as consumers, otherwise we will get loops in the QoS graph. It uses exactly the same set of events in the publications list when connected as a supplier.

Note:
An alternative implementation would be to register with the remote EC as a supplier, and then filter on the remote EC, but one of the objectives is to minimize network traffic. On the other hand the events will be pushed to remote consumers, event though they will be dropped upon receipt (due to the TTL field); IMHO this is another suggestion that the EC needs to know (somehow) which consumers are truly its peers in disguise.
Todo:
: The class makes an extra copy of the events, we need to investigate if closer collaboration with its collocated EC could be used to remove that copy.

Member Function Documentation

int TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_consumer_ec ( void   ) 

Cleanup the connection to the consumer ec. Doesn't call anything on the ec again, just set the object to nil

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_consumer_ec_i ( void   )  [private]

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_consumer_proxies ( void   ) 

Cleanup all consumer proxies we have without trying to tell the consumer that we are going to disconnect. This can be used to cleanup the consumer proxy administration in case we know that the consumers are all unreachable.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_consumer_proxies_i ( void   )  [private]

Remove all consumer proxies without calling disconnect on them.

int TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_supplier_ec ( void   ) 

Cleanup the connection to the supplier ec. Doesn't call anything on the ec again, just set the object to nil

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::cleanup_supplier_ec_i ( void   )  [private]

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::close ( void   )  [virtual]

The gateway must disconnect from all the relevant event channels, or any other communication media (such as multicast groups).

Implements TAO_EC_Gateway.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::close_i ( void   )  [private]

CORBA::Boolean TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::consumer_ec_non_existent ( CORBA::Boolean_out  disconnected  ) 

Check whether the consumer event channel is non existent or not.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::disconnect_consumer_proxies_i ( void   )  [private]

Disconnect all consumer proxies.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::disconnect_push_consumer ( void   ) 

The channel is disconnecting.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::disconnect_push_supplier ( void   )

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::disconnect_supplier_proxy_i ( void   )  [private]

Disconnect the supplier proxy.

int TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::init ( RtecEventChannelAdmin::EventChannel_ptr  supplier_ec,
RtecEventChannelAdmin::EventChannel_ptr  consumer_ec 
)

To do its job this class requires to know the local and remote ECs it will connect to.

Returns:
0 in case of success, -1 in case of failure

int TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::init_i ( RtecEventChannelAdmin::EventChannel_ptr  supplier_ec,

Helper method to see if consumer ec is connected.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::open_i ( const RtecEventChannelAdmin::ConsumerQOS sub  )  [private]

Create all connections to consumer ec and to supplier ec.

void TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::push ( const RtecEventComm::EventSet events  ) 

This is the consumer side behavior, it pushes the events to the local event channel.

const RtecEventComm::EventSet event 
) [private]

Push the event to the consumer.

How many threads are running push() we cannot make changes until that reaches 0

We have a cleanup outstanding and must wait doing cleanup until all pushes are ready.

Our consumer personality....

RtecEventChannelAdmin::EventChannel_var TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::consumer_ec_ [protected]

The event channel acting as consumer of this gateway.

Our RT_Infos for the event channel that is the consumer.

If it is true then we must deactivate the consumer.

We talk to the EC (as a supplier) using either an per-supplier proxy or a generic proxy for the type only subscriptions. We push the events to these proxies

RtecEventChannelAdmin::ProxyPushConsumer_var TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::default_consumer_proxy_ [protected]

Our supplier personality....

RtecEventChannelAdmin::EventChannel_var TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::supplier_ec_ [protected]

The event channel acting as supplier for this gateway so we can reconnect when the list changes.

Is the supplier ec suspended?

Our RT_Infos for the event channel that is the supplier.

If it is true then we must deactivate the supplier.

RtecEventChannelAdmin::ProxyPushSupplier_var TAO_EC_Gateway_IIOP::supplier_proxy_ [protected]

We talk to the EC (as a consumer) using this proxy. We receive the events from these proxy

An update_consumer() message arrived *while* we were doing a push() the modification is stored, if multiple update_consumer messages arrive only the last one is executed.

The flag for using the consumer proxy map. With 1 the consumer proxy map is used, meaning that for each unique source id we use a different proxy push consumer, if 0, we only use one proxy push consumer (the default) for all source ids.

If 1, we use the TTL flags, if 0, we just ignore TTL.
