NAME¶
CosEventChannelAdmin - The CosEventChannelAdmin defines a set if event service
interfaces that enables decoupled asynchronous communication between objects
and implements generic (untyped) version of the OMG COSS standard event
service.
DESCRIPTION¶
The event service defines two roles for objects: the supplier role and the
consumer role. Suppliers supply event data to the event channel and consumers
receive event data from the channel. Suppliers do not need to know the
identity of the consumers, and vice versa. Consumers and suppliers are
connected to the event channel via proxies, which are managed by ConsumerAdmin
and SupplierAdmin objects.
There are four general models of communication. These are:
- *
- The canonical push model. It allows the suppliers of events to initiate
the transfer of event data to consumers. Event channels play the role of
Notifier. Active suppliers use event channel to push data to
passive consumers registered with the event channel.
- *
- The canonical pull model. It allows consumers to request events from
suppliers. Event channels play the role of Procure since they
procure events on behalf of consumers. Active consumers can explicitly
pull data from passive suppliers via the event channels.
- *
- The hybrid push/pull model. It allows consumers request events queued at a
channel by suppliers. Event channels play the role of Queue. Active
consumers explicitly pull data deposited by active suppliers via the event
channels.
- *
- The hybrid pull/push model. It allows the channel to pull events from
suppliers and push them to consumers. Event channels play the role of
Intelligent agent. Active event channels can pull data from passive
suppliers to push it to passive consumers.
To get access to all definitions, e.g., exceptions, include necessary
hrl
files by using:
-include_lib("cosEvent/include/*.hrl").
There are seven different interfaces supported in the service:
- *
- ProxyPushConsumer
- *
- ProxyPullSupplier
- *
- ProxyPullConsumer
- *
- ProxyPushSupplier
- *
- ConsumerAdmin
- *
- SupplierAdmin
- *
- EventChannel
