Detailed Description

Base class for TAO_Asynch_Reply_Dispatcher and TAO_DII_Deferred_Reply_Dispatcher.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.

Destructor.


Member Function Documentation

void TAO_Asynch_Reply_Dispatcher_Base::operator= ( const TAO_Asynch_Reply_Dispatcher_Base )
private
virtual long TAO_Asynch_Reply_Dispatcher_Base::schedule_timer ( CORBA::ULong  ,
const ACE_Time_Value  
)
pure virtual

Install the timeout handler.

Sets the transport for this invocation.

A helper method that can be used by the subclasses.

The semantics of this helper method needs careful attention. A call to this method will do the following

  • If the reply has already been dispatched, the return value will be false to signify not to try.
  • If the reply has not been dispatched, this method will set the flag to be true and return a true value to signify that the caller thread can go ahead and dispatch reply.

Why are we clumping everything in one method. Answer is we need atomicity?


Member Data Documentation

The buffer that is used to initialise the data block.

Datablock that is created on the stack to initialise the CDR stream underneath.

Has the reply been dispatched?

Lock to protect is_reply_dispatched_ flag.

CDR stream which has the reply information that needs to be demarshalled by the stubs

The service context list.

Note, that this is not a reference as in the synchronous case. We own the reply_service_info because our TAO_Asynch_Invocation or TAO_DII_Deferred_Invocation will go out of scope before we are done.

This invocation is using this transport, may change...
