Detailed Description

Generic Connector interface definitions.

Base class for connector bridge object.

Todo:: Need to rename the class as TAO_Transport_Connector.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO_Connector::TAO_Connector ( CORBA::ULong tag )

Default constructor.

TAO_Connector::~TAO_Connector ( void )

virtual

The destructor.

Member Function Documentation

virtual int TAO_Connector::cancel_svc_handler ( TAO_Connection_Handler * svc_handler )

protectedpure virtual

Cancel the passed svc_handler from the connector.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

int TAO_Connector::check_connection_closure ( TAO_Connection_Handler * connection_handler )

protectedvirtual

Check whether the connection is not closed.

Return values

0	The connection happens to be not closed, but is now open because an other thread managed to open the handler
-1	The connection is closed

virtual int TAO_Connector::check_prefix ( const char * endpoint )

pure virtual

Check that the prefix of the provided endpoint is valid for use with a given pluggable protocol.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

void TAO_Connector::cleanup_pending	(	TAO_Transport *&	the_winner,
		TAO_Transport **	transport,
		unsigned int	count
	)

protected

For a parallel connection attempt, any pending connection attempts present when the connection completes needs to be cleaned up. In some cases this happens before wait_for_connection_completion needs to be called, so the clean up logic is separated out here.

virtual int TAO_Connector::close ( void )

pure virtual

Shutdown Connector bridge and concrete Connector.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

TAO_Transport * TAO_Connector::connect	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport_Descriptor_Interface *	desc,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

virtual

To support pluggable we need to abstract away the details of the connect () method so it can be called from the invocation code independent of the actual transport protocol in use.

TAO_Profile * TAO_Connector::corbaloc_scan	(	const char *	ior,
		size_t &	len
	)

virtual

Helper function to assist corbaloc parsing. The default simply validates the protocol identifier and scans up to the next comma or slash. Any protocol that has a specific need, such as uiop, can override this method to provide a custom scanner. The profile returned is either null if this the ior does not match or an empty profile of the correct type, obtained from make_profile().

int TAO_Connector::create_connect_strategy ( void )

protected

Create a connect strategy.

virtual TAO_Profile* TAO_Connector::create_profile ( TAO_InputCDR & cdr )

pure virtual

Create a profile for this protocol and initialize it based on the encapsulation in cdr

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

virtual TAO_Transport* TAO_Connector::make_connection	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport_Descriptor_Interface &	desc,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

protectedpure virtual

Make a connection.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

int TAO_Connector::make_mprofile	(	const char *	ior,
		TAO_MProfile &	mprofile
	)

Parse a string containing a URL style IOR and return an MProfile. Verify that ior is in the correct format.

TAO_Transport * TAO_Connector::make_parallel_connection	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport_Descriptor_Interface &	desc,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

protectedvirtual

Make a connection using - not a pure virtual since not all protocols support this.

Reimplemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

virtual TAO_Profile* TAO_Connector::make_profile ( void )

protectedpure virtual

Create a profile with a given endpoint.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

bool TAO_Connector::new_connection_is_ok ( size_t busy_count )

protected

See if a new connection is allowed.

virtual char TAO_Connector::object_key_delimiter ( void ) const

pure virtual

Return the object key delimiter to use or expect.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

virtual int TAO_Connector::open ( TAO_ORB_Core * orb_core )

pure virtual

Initialize object and register with reactor.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

void TAO_Connector::orb_core ( TAO_ORB_Core * orb_core )

protected

Set the ORB Core pointer.

TAO_ORB_Core * TAO_Connector::orb_core ( void )

protected

Return the TAO_ORB_Core pointer.

TAO_Transport * TAO_Connector::parallel_connect	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport_Descriptor_Interface *	desc,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

virtual

A variation on connect that will try simultaneous connections on all endpoints listed in the desc.

virtual int TAO_Connector::set_validate_endpoint ( TAO_Endpoint * endpoint )

protectedpure virtual

Set and validate endpoint. We need to do this to initialize our remote *_Addr's which have not been done during IOR decode.

Implemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

int TAO_Connector::supports_parallel_connects ( void ) const

protectedvirtual

A flag indicating the actual connector supports parallel connection attempts. The base implementation always returns 0. Override to return non-zero if parallel connection attempts may be tried.

Reimplemented in TAO_IIOP_Connector.

CORBA::ULong TAO_Connector::tag ( void ) const

The tag identifying the specific ORB transport layer protocol. For example IOP::TAG_INTERNET_IOP == 0. The tag is used in the IOR to identify the type of profile included. IOR -> {{tag0, profile0} {tag1, profile1} ...}. The IOP module defines the ProfileId typedef to be a CORBA::ULong.

bool TAO_Connector::wait_for_connection_completion	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport_Descriptor_Interface &	desc,
		TAO_Transport *&	transport,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

protectedvirtual

Wait for connection completion. We have a transport that is not connected yet, wait until it is connected.

Return values

true	When we could use transport

Returns: false When we can't use the transport

bool TAO_Connector::wait_for_connection_completion	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport *&	the_winner,
		TAO_Transport **	transport,
		unsigned int	count,
		TAO_LF_Multi_Event *	mev,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout
	)

protectedvirtual

In the case of a parallel connection attempt, we take an array of transports, and wait on any of them. When the first one completes, the rest are closed.

bool TAO_Connector::wait_for_transport	(	TAO::Profile_Transport_Resolver *	r,
		TAO_Transport *	base_transport,
		ACE_Time_Value *	timeout,
		bool	force_wait
	)

protected

Wait for a transport to be connected Note: no longer changes transport reference count

Return values

true	if wait was uneventful
false	if error occurred during wait
