Detailed Description

<<interface>> Container for all com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DomainEntity objects.

The DomainParticipant object plays several roles:

- It acts as a container for all other com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity objects.

- It acts as factory for the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher, com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber, com.rti.dds.topic.Topic and com.rti.dds.topic.MultiTopic com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity objects.

- It represents the participation of the application on a communication plane that isolates applications running on the same set of physical computers from each other. A domain establishes a virtual network linking all applications that share the same domainId and isolating them from applications running on different domains. In this way, several independent distributed applications can coexist in the same physical network without interfering, or even being aware of each other.

- It provides administration services in the domain, offering operations that allow the application to ignore locally any information about a given participant (ignore_participant()), publication (ignore_publication()), subscription (ignore_subscription()) or topic (ignore_topic()).

The following operations may be called even if the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant is not enabled. (Operations NOT in this list will fail with the value com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED if called on a disabled DomainParticipant).

ContentFilteredTopic create_contentfilteredtopic ( String  name,
Topic  related_topic,
String  filter_expression,
StringSeq  expression_parameters 
)

Creates a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic, that can be used to do content-based subscriptions.

The com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic only relates to samples published under that com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, filtered according to their content. The filtering is done by means of evaluating a logical expression that involves the values of some of the data-fields in the sample. The logical expression derived from the filter_expression and expression_parameters arguments.

Queries and Filters Syntax describes the syntax of filter_expression and expression_parameters.

Precondition
The application is not allowed to create two com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic objects with the same topic_name attached to the same com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. If the application attempts this, this method will fail and returns NULL.
If related_topic does not belong to this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, this operation returns NULL.
This function will create a content filter using the builtin SQL filter which implements a superset of the DDS specification. This filter requires that all IDL types have been compiled with typecodes. If this precondition is not met, this operation returns NULL. Do not use rtiddsgen's -notypecode option if you want to use the builtin SQL filter.
Parameters
name<<in>> Name for the new content filtered topic, must not exceed 255 characters. Cannot be NULL.
related_topic<<in>> com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to be filtered. Cannot be NULL.
filter_expression<<in>> Cannot be NULL
expression_parameters<<in>> Cannot be NULL.An empty sequence must be used if the filter expression does not contain any parameters. Length of sequence cannot be greater than 100.
Returns
newly created com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic, or NULL on failure
ContentFilteredTopic create_contentfilteredtopic_with_filter ( String  name,
Topic  related_topic,
String  filter_expression,
StringSeq  expression_parameters,
String  filter_name 
)

<<eXtension>> Creates a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic using the specified filter to do content-based subscriptions.

Parameters

related_topic<<in>> com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to be filtered. Cannot be NULL.
filter_expression<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
expression_parameters<<in>> Cannot be NULL.. An empty sequence must be used if the filter expression does not contain any parameters. Length of the sequence cannot be greater than 100.
filter_name<<in>> Name of content filter to use. Must previously have been registered with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter on the same com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. Cannot be NULL.

Builtin filter names are com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.SQLFILTER_NAME and com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.STRINGMATCHFILTER_NAME

Returns
newly created com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic, or NULL on failure
void delete_contentfilteredtopic ( ContentFilteredTopic  a_contentfilteredtopic)

Deletes a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic.

Precondition
The deletion of a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic is not allowed if there are any existing com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader objects that are using the com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic. If the operation is called on a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic with existing com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader objects attached to it, it will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.
The com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic must be created by this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, or else this operation will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

MultiTopic create_multitopic ( String  name,
String  type_name,
String  subscription_expression,
StringSeq  expression_parameters 
)

[Not supported (optional)] Creates a MultiTopic that can be used to subscribe to multiple topics and combine/filter the received data into a resulting type.

The resulting type is specified by the type_name argument. The list of topics and the logic used to combine, filter, and rearrange the information from each com.rti.dds.topic.Topic are specified using the subscription_expression and expression_parameters arguments.

Queries and Filters Syntax describes the syntax of subscription_expression and expression_parameters.

Precondition
The application is not allowed to create two com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription objects with the same name attached to the same com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. If the application attempts this, this method will fail and return NULL.
Prior to creating a com.rti.dds.topic.MultiTopic, the type must have been registered with RTI Connext. This is done using the com.rti.ndds.example.FooTypeSupport.register_type operation on a derived class of the com.rti.dds.topic.TypeSupport interface. Otherwise, this method will return NULL.
Parameters
name<<in>> Name of the newly create com.rti.dds.topic.MultiTopic. Cannot be NULL.
type_name<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
subscription_expression<<in>> Cannot be NULL.
expression_parameters<<in>> Cannot be NULL.

void set_qos ( DomainParticipantQos  qos)

Change the QoS of this DomainParticipant.

The com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantQos.user_data and com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantQos.entity_factory can be changed. The other policies are immutable.

Parameters
qos<<in>> Set of policies to be applied to com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. Policies must be consistent. Immutable policies cannot be changed after com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant is enabled. The special value com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory.PARTICIPANT_QOS_DEFAULT can be used to indicate that the QoS of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant should be changed to match the current default com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantQos set in the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_IMMUTABLE_POLICY if immutable policy is changed, or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_INCONSISTENT_POLICY if policies are inconsistent

void get_qos ( DomainParticipantQos  qos)

Get the participant QoS.

This method may potentially allocate memory depending on the sequences contained in some QoS policies.

Parameters
qos<<inout>> QoS to be filled up. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
See Also
get_qos (abstract)
String get_default_library ( )

<<eXtension>> Gets the default XML library associated with a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

Returns
The default library or null if the default library was not set.
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.set_default_library
void set_default_library ( String  library_name)

<<eXtension>> Sets the default XML library for a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

This method specifies the library that will be used as the default the next time a default library is needed during a call to one of this DomainParticipant's operations.

Any API requiring a library_name as a parameter can use null to refer to the default library.

If the default library is not set, the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant inherits the default from the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory (see com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_library).

Parameters
library_name<<in>> Library name. If library_name is null any previous default is unset.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_default_library
String get_default_profile ( )

<<eXtension>> Gets the default XML profile associated with a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

Returns
The default profile or null if the default profile was not set.
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.set_default_profile
void set_default_profile ( String  library_name,
String  profile_name 
)

<<eXtension>> Sets the default XML profile for a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

This method specifies the profile that will be used as the default the next time a default DomainParticipant profile is needed during a call to one of this DomainParticipant's operations. When calling a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant method that requires a profile_name parameter, you can use NULL to refer to the default profile. (This same information applies to setting a default library.)

If the default profile is not set, the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant inherits the default from the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory (see com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_profile).

This method does not set the default QoS for entities created by the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant; for this functionality, use the methods set_default_<entity>_qos_with_profile (you may pass in NULL after having called set_default_profile()).

This method does not set the default QoS for newly created DomainParticipants; for this functionality, use com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_participant_qos_with_profile.

Parameters
library_name<<in>> The library name containing the profile.
profile_name<<in>> The profile name. If profile_name is null any previous default is unset.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_default_profile
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_default_profile_library
String get_default_profile_library ( )

<<eXtension>> Gets the library where the default XML QoS profile is contained for a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

The default profile library is automatically set when com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.set_default_profile is called.

This library can be different than the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant default library (see com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_default_library).

Returns
The default profile library or null if the default profile was not set.
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.set_default_profile
void set_listener ( DomainParticipantListener  l,
int  mask 
)

Sets the participant listener.

Parameters
l<<in>> Listener to be installed on entity.
mask<<in>> Changes of communication status to be invoked on the listener. See com.rti.dds.infrastructure.StatusMask.
MT Safety:
Unsafe. This method is not synchronized with the listener callbacks, so it is possible to set a new listener on a participant when the old listener is in a callback.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
See Also
set_listener (abstract)
DomainParticipantListener get_listener ( )

Get the participant listener.

Returns
Existing listener attached to the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.
See Also
get_listener (abstract)
void get_publishers ( PublisherSeq  publishers)

<<eXtension>> Allows the application to access all the publishers the participant has.

If the sequence doesn't own its buffer, and its maximum is less than the total number of publishers, it will be filled up to its maximum, and fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

MT Safety:
Safe.
Parameters
publishers<<inout>> a PublisherSeq object where the set or list of publishers will be returned
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES
void get_subscribers ( SubscriberSeq  subscribers)

<<eXtension>> Allows the application to access all the subscribers the participant has.

If the sequence doesn't own its buffer, and its maximum is less than the total number of subscribers, it will be filled up to its maximum, and fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES.

MT Safety:
Safe.
Parameters
subscribers<<inout>> a SubscriberSeq object where the set or list of subscribers will be returned
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES
Subscriber get_builtin_subscriber ( )

Accesses the built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber.

Each com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant contains several built-in com.rti.dds.topic.Topic objects as well as corresponding com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader objects to access them. All of these com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader objects belong to a single built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber.

The built-in Topics are used to communicate information about other com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader, and com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter objects.

The built-in subscriber is created when this operation is called for the first time. The built-in subscriber is deleted automatically when the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant is deleted.

Returns
The built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber singleton.

FlowController lookup_flowcontroller ( String  name)

<<eXtension>> Looks up an existing locally-created com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController, based on its name.

Looks up a previously created com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController, including the built-in ones. Once a com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController has been deleted, subsequent lookups will fail.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a flow controller description while another thread is creating that flow controller.
Parameters
name<<in>> Name of com.rti.dds.publication.FlowController to search for. Limited to 255 characters. Cannot be NULL.
Returns
The flow controller if it has already been created locally, or NULL otherwise.
Topic find_topic ( String  topic_name,
Duration_t  timeout 
)

Finds an existing (or ready to exist) com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, based on its name.

This call can be used to block for a specified duration to wait for the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to be created.

If the requested com.rti.dds.topic.Topic already exists, it is returned. Otherwise, find_topic() waits until another thread creates it or else returns when the specified timeout occurs.

find_topic() is useful when multiple threads are concurrently creating and looking up topics. In that case, one thread can call find_topic() and, if another thread has not yet created the topic being looked up, it can wait for some period of time for it to do so. In almost all other cases, it is more straightforward to call com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.lookup_topicdescription.

The com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant must already be enabled.

Note: Each com.rti.dds.topic.Topic obtained by com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.find_topic must also be deleted by means of com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.delete_topic. If com.rti.dds.topic.Topic is obtained multiple times by means of com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.find_topic or com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.create_topic, it must also be deleted that same number of times using com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.delete_topic.

Parameters
topic_name<<in>> Name of the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to search for. Cannot be NULL.
timeout<<in>> The time to wait if the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic does not exist already. Cannot be NULL.
Returns
the topic, if it exists, or NULL
TopicDescription lookup_topicdescription ( String  topic_name)

Looks up an existing, locally created com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription, based on its name.

com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription is the base class for com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, com.rti.dds.topic.MultiTopic and com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic. So you can narrow the com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription returned from this operation to a com.rti.dds.topic.Topic or com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic as appropriate.

Unlike com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.find_topic, which logically returns a new com.rti.dds.topic.Topic object that must be independently deleted, this operation returns a reference to the original local object.

The com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant does not have to be enabled when you call lookup_topicdescription().

The returned topic may be either enabled or disabled.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a topic description while another thread is creating that topic.
Parameters
topic_name<<in>> Name of com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription to search for. This string must be no more than 255 characters; it cannot be NULL.
Returns
The topic description, if it has already been created locally, otherwise it returns NULL.
void ignore_participant ( InstanceHandle_t  handle)

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a remote com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

From the time of this call onwards, RTI Connext will locally behave as if the remote participant did not exist. This means it will ignore any topic, publication, or subscription that originates on that com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

There is no way to reverse this operation.

This operation can be used in conjunction with the discovery of remote participants offered by means of the builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData to provide access control.

Application data can be associated with a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant by means of the USER_DATA policy. This application data is propagated as a field in the built-in topic and can be used by an application to implement its own access control policy.

The com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This handle is the one that appears in the com.rti.dds.subscription.SampleInfo retrieved when reading the data-samples available for the built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader to the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant topic. The built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader is read with the same com.rti.ndds.example.FooDataReader.read and com.rti.ndds.example.FooDataReader.take operations used for any com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader.

Parameters
handle<<in>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.InstanceHandle_t of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant to be ignored. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

void ignore_topic ( InstanceHandle_t  handle)

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a com.rti.dds.topic.Topic.

This means it will locally ignore any publication, or subscription to the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic.

There is no way to reverse this operation.

This operation can be used to save local resources when the application knows that it will never publish or subscribe to data under certain topics.

The com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This is the handle of a com.rti.dds.topic.Topic that appears in the com.rti.dds.subscription.SampleInfo retrieved when reading data samples from the built-in com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader for the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic.

Parameters
handle<<in>> Handle of the com.rti.dds.topic.Topic to be ignored. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

void ignore_publication ( InstanceHandle_t  handle)

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a publication.

A publication is defined by the association of a topic name, user data, and partition set on the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher (see builtin.PublicationBuiltinTopicData). After this call, any data written by that publication's com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter will be ignored.

This operation can be used to ignore local and remote DataWriters.

The publication (DataWriter) to ignore is identified by the handle argument.

There is no way to reverse this operation.

Parameters
handle<<in>> Handle of the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter to be ignored. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
See Also
builtin.PublicationBuiltinTopicData
builtin.PublicationBuiltinTopicDataTypeSupport.PUBLICATION_TOPIC_NAME
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_builtin_subscriber
void ignore_subscription ( InstanceHandle_t  handle)

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a subscription.

A subscription is defined by the association of a topic name, user data, and partition set on the com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber (see builtin.SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData). After this call, any data received related to that subscription's com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader will be ignored.

This operation can be used to ignore local and remote DataReaders.

The subscription to ignore is identified by the handle argument.

There is no way to reverse this operation.

Parameters
handle<<in>> Handle of the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader to be ignored. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED

com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_builtin_subscriber
int get_domain_id ( )

Get the unique domain identifier.

This operation retrieves the domain_id used to create the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. The domain_id identifies the DDS domain to which the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant belongs. Each DDS domain represents a separate data 'communication plane' isolated from other domains.

Returns
the unique domainId that was used to create the domain

void assert_liveliness ( )

Manually asserts the liveliness of this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

This is used in combination with the com.rti.dds.infrastructure.LivelinessQosPolicy to indicate to RTI Connext that the entity remains active.

You need to use this operation if the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant conatins com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter entities with the com.rti.dds.infrastructure.LivelinessQosPolicy.kind set to com.rti.dds.infrastructure.LivelinessQosPolicyKind.LivelinessQosPolicyKind.MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS and it only affects the liveliness of those com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter entities. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Note: writing data via the com.rti.ndds.example.FooDataWriter.write or com.rti.ndds.example.FooDataWriter.write_w_timestamp operation asserts liveliness on the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter itself and its com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
See Also
com.rti.dds.infrastructure.LivelinessQosPolicy
void delete_contained_entities ( )

Delete all the entities that were created by means of the "create" operations on the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

This operation deletes all contained com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher (including an implicit Publisher, if one exists), com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber (including implicit subscriber), com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic, and com.rti.dds.topic.MultiTopic objects.

Prior to deleting each contained entity, this operation will recursively call the corresponding delete_contained_entities operation on each contained entity (if applicable). This pattern is applied recursively. In this manner the operation delete_contained_entities() on the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant will end up deleting all the entities recursively contained in the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, that is also the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter, com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader, as well as the com.rti.dds.subscription.QueryCondition and com.rti.dds.subscription.ReadCondition objects belonging to the contained com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader.

The operation will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET if any of the contained entities is in a state where it cannot be deleted.

If delete_contained_entities() completes successfully, the application may delete the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant knowing that it has no contained entities.

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes, or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.
void add_peer ( String  peer_desc_string)

<<eXtension>> Attempt to contact one or more additional peer participants.

Add the given peer description to the list of peers with which this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant will try to communicate.

This method may be called at any time after this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant has been created (before or after it has been enabled).

If this method is called after com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity.enable, an attempt will be made to contact the new peer(s) immediately.

If this method is called before the DomainParticipant is enabled, the peer description will simply be added to the list that was populated by com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DiscoveryQosPolicy.initial_peers; the first attempted contact will take place after this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant is enabled.

Adding a peer description with this method does not guarantee that any peer(s) discovered as a result will exactly correspond to those described:

  • This com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant will attempt to discover peer participants at the given locations but may not succeed if no such participants are available. In this case, this method will not wait for contact attempt(s) to be made and it will not report an error.

To be informed of the exact remote participants that are discovered, regardless of which peers this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant attempts to discover, use the built-in participant topic: builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicDataTypeSupport.PARTICIPANT_TOPIC_NAME.

To remove specific peer locators, you may use com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.remove_peer. If a peer is removed, the add_peer operation will add it back to the list of peers.

To stop communicating with a peer com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant that has been discovered, use com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.ignore_participant.

Adding a peer description with this method has no effect on the com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DiscoveryQosPolicy.initial_peers that may be subsequently retrieved with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_qos() (because com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DiscoveryQosPolicy is immutable).

Parameters
peer_desc_string<<in>> New peer descriptor to be added. The format is specified in Peer Descriptor Format. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes

void remove_peer ( String  peer_desc_string)

<<eXtension>> Remove one or more peer participants from the list of peers with which this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant will try to communicate.

This method may be called any time after this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant has been enabled

Calling this method has the following effects:

If remote participants located on a peer that was previously removed are discovered, they will be ignored untill the related peer is added back by using com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.add_peer.

Removing a peer description with this method has no effect on the com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DiscoveryQosPolicy.initial_peers that may be subsequently retrieved with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_qos() (because com.rti.dds.infrastructure.DiscoveryQosPolicy is immutable).

Parameters
peer_desc_string<<in>> Peer descriptor to be removed. The format is specified in Peer Descriptor Format. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
void get_discovered_participants ( InstanceHandleSeq  participant_handles)

Returns list of discovered com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant s.

This operation retrieves the list of com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant s that have been discovered in the domain and that the application has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.ignore_participant operation.

Parameters
participant_handles<<inout>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.InstanceHandleSeq to be filled with handles of the discovered com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant s
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
void get_discovered_participant_data ( ParticipantBuiltinTopicData  participant_data,
InstanceHandle_t  participant_handle 
)

Returns builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData for the specified com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant .

This operation retrieves information on a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant that has been discovered on the network. The participant must be in the same domain as the participant on which this operation is invoked and must not have been "ignored" by means of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.ignore_participant operation.

The participant_handle must correspond to such a DomainParticipant. Otherwise, the operation will fail with PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Use the operation com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_discovered_participants to find the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant s that are currently discovered.

Note: This operation does not retrieve the builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData.property. This information is available through com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReaderListener::on_data_available() (if a reader listener is installed on the builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicDataDataReader).

Parameters
participant_data<<inout>> builtin.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData to be filled with the specified com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant 's data.
participant_handle<<in>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.InstanceHandle_t of com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

void get_discovered_topics ( InstanceHandleSeq  topic_handles)

Returns list of discovered com.rti.dds.topic.Topic objects.

This operation retrieves the list of com.rti.dds.topic.Topic s that have been discovered in the domain and that the application has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.ignore_topic operation.

Parameters
topic_handles<<inout>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.InstanceHandleSeq to be filled with handles of the discovered com.rti.dds.topic.Topic objects
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
void get_discovered_topic_data ( TopicBuiltinTopicData  topic_data,
InstanceHandle_t  topic_handle 
)

Returns builtin.TopicBuiltinTopicData for the specified com.rti.dds.topic.Topic.

This operation retrieves information on a com.rti.dds.topic.Topic that has been discovered by the local Participant and must not have been "ignored" by means of the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.ignore_topic operation.

The topic_handle must correspond to such a topic. Otherwise, the operation will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

This call is not supported for remote topics. If a remote topic_handle is used, the operation will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_UNSUPPORTED.

Use the operation com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.get_discovered_topics to find the topics that are currently discovered.

Parameters
topic_data<<inout>> builtin.TopicBuiltinTopicData to be filled with the specified com.rti.dds.topic.Topic's data.

boolean contains_entity ( InstanceHandle_t  a_handle)

Completes successfully with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.true if the referenced com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity is contained by the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

This operation checks whether or not the given a_handle represents an com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity that was created from the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant. The containment applies recursively. That is, it applies both to entities (com.rti.dds.topic.TopicDescription, com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher, or com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber) created directly using the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant as well as entities created using a contained com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher, or com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber as the factory, and so forth.

The instance handle for an com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity may be obtained from built-in topic data, from various statuses, or from the operation com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity.get_instance_handle.

Parameters
a_handle<<in>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.InstanceHandle_t of the com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity to be checked.
Returns
com.rti.dds.infrastructure.true if com.rti.dds.infrastructure.Entity is contained by the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.false otherwise.
void register_durable_subscription ( EndpointGroup_t  group,
String  topic_name 
)

Registers a Durable Subscription on the specified com.rti.dds.topic.Topic on all Persistence Services.

If you need to receive all samples published on a com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, including the ones published while a com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader is inactive or before it may be created, create a Durable Subscription using this method.

In this way, the Persistence Service will ensure that all the samples on that com.rti.dds.topic.Topic are retained until they are acknowledged by at least N DataReaders belonging to the Durable Subscription where N is the quorum count.

If the same Durable Subscription is created on a different com.rti.dds.topic.Topic, the Persistence Service will implicitly delete the previous Durable Subscription and create a new one on the new com.rti.dds.topic.Topic.

Parameters
group<<in>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.EndpointGroup_t The Durable Subscription name and quorum.
topic_name<<in>> The topic name for which the Durable Subscription is created.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
void delete_durable_subscription ( EndpointGroup_t  group)

Deletes an existing Durable Subscription on all Persistence Services.

The Persistence Service will delete the Durable Subscription and the quorum of the existing samples will be considered satisfied.

Parameters
group<<in>> com.rti.dds.infrastructure.EndpointGroup_t specifying the Durable Subscription name. Quorum is not required for this operation.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
void register_contentfilter ( String  filter_name,
ContentFilter  contentfilter 
)

<<eXtension>> Register a content filter which can be used to create a com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic.

DDS specifies a SQL-like content filter for use by content filtered topics. If this filter does not meet your filtering requirements, you can register a custom filter.

To use a custom filter, it must be registered in the following places:

For example, suppose Application A on the subscription side creates a Topic named X and a ContentFilteredTopic named filteredX (and a corresponding DataReader), using a previously registered content filter, myFilter. With only that, you will have filtering at the subscription side. If you also want to perform filtering in any application that publishes Topic X, then you also need to register the same definition of the ContentFilter myFilter in that application.

Each filter_name can only be used to registered a content filter once with a com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

Parameters
filter_name<<in>> Name of the filter. The name must be unique within the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant and must not exceed 255 characters. Cannot be NULL.
contentfilter<<in>> Content filter to be registered. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.unregister_contentfilter
ContentFilter lookup_contentfilter ( String  filter_name)

<<eXtension>> Lookup a content filter previously registered with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter.

Parameters
filter_name<<in>> Name of the filter. Cannot be NULL.
Returns
NULL if the given filter_name has not been previously registered to the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter. Otherwise, return the com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilter that has been previosuly registered with the given filter_name.
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter
void unregister_contentfilter ( String  filter_name)

<<eXtension>> Unregister a content filter previously registered with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter.

A filter_name can be unregistered only if it has been previously registered to the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter.

The unregistration of filter is not allowed if there are any existing com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic objects that are using the filter. If the operation is called on a filter with existing com.rti.dds.topic.ContentFilteredTopic objects attached to it, this operation will fail with com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

If there are still existing discovered com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader s with the same filter_name and the filter's compile method of the filter have previously been called on the discovered com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader s, finalize method of the filter will be called on those discovered com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader s before the content filter is unregistered. This means filtering will now be performed on the application that is creating the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader.

Parameters
filter_name<<in>> Name of the filter. Cannot be NULL.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Return Codes or com.rti.dds.infrastructure.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET
See Also
com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.register_contentfilter
Publisher get_implicit_publisher ( )

<<eXtension>> Returns the implicit com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher. If an implicit Publisher does not already exist, this creates one.

There can only be one implicit Publisher per DomainParticipant.

The implicit Publisher is created with com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.PUBLISHER_QOS_DEFAULT and no Listener.

This implicit Publisher will be deleted automatically when the following methods are called: com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.delete_contained_entities, or com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.delete_publisher with the implicit publisher as a parameter. Additionally, when a DomainParticipant is deleted, if there are no attached DataWriters that belong to the implicit Publisher, the implicit Publisher will be implicitly deleted.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to create an implicit Publisher while another thread may be simultaneously calling com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.set_default_publisher_qos.
Returns
The implicit publisher

abstract Publisher lookup_publisher_by_name_exp ( String  publisher_name)
pure virtual

<<experimental>> <<eXtension>> Looks up a com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher by its entity name within this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

Every com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the GROUP_DATA policy. The use of the GROUP_DATA to store the entity name is a temporary situation while the feature is in experimental state.

This operation retrieves a com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher within the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant given the entity's name. If there are several com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher with the same name within the com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant, this function returns the first matching occurrence.

Parameters
publisher_name<<in>> Entity name of the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher.
Returns
The first com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

<<experimental>> <<eXtension>> Looks up a com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter by its entity name within this com.rti.dds.domain.DomainParticipant.

Every com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the EntityName policy, ENTITY_NAME.

Every com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the <<eXtension>> GROUP_DATA policy. This is a temporary situation situation while the function is in experimental state.

This operation retrieves a com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter within a com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher given the specified name which encodes both to the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter and the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher name.

The specified name might be given as a fully-qualified entity name or as a plain name.

The fully qualified entity name is a concatenation of the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher to which the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter belongs and the entity name of of the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter itself, separated by a double colon "::". For example: MyPublisherName::MyDataWriterName

The plain name contains the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter name only. In this situation it is implied that the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter belongs to the implicit com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher so the use of a plain name is equivalent to specifying a fully qualified name with the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher name part being "implicit". For example: the plain name "MyDataWriterName" is equivalent to specifiying the fully qualified name "implicit::MyDataWriterName"

The com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter is only looked up within the com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher specified in the fully qualified name, or within the implicit com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher if the name was not fully qualified.

If there are several com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter with the same name within the corresponding com.rti.dds.publication.Publisher this function returns the first matching occurrence.

Parameters
datawriter_full_name<<in>> Entity name or fully-qualified entity name of the com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter.
Returns
The first com.rti.dds.publication.DataWriter found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.

Every com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the EntityName policy, ENTITY_NAME.

Every com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber in the system has an entity name which is configured and stored in the <<eXtension>> GROUP_DATA policy. This is a temporary situation situation while the function is in experimental state.

This operation retrieves a com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader within a com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber given the specified name which encodes both to the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader and the com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber name.

The specified name might be given as a fully-qualified entity name or as a plain name.

The fully qualified entity name is a concatenation of the com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber to which the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader belongs and the entity name of of the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader itself, separated by a double colon "::". For example: MySubscriberName::MyDataReaderName

The plain name contains the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader name only. In this situation it is implied that the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader belongs to the implicit com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber so the use of a plain name is equivalent to specifying a fully qualified name with the com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber name part being "implicit". For example: the plain name "MyDataReaderName" is equivalent to specifiying the fully qualified name "implicit::MyDataReaderName"

The com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader is only looked up within the com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber specified in the fully qualified name, or within the implicit com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber if the name was not fully qualified.

If there are several com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader with the same name within the corresponding com.rti.dds.subscription.Subscriber this function returns the first matching occurrence.

Parameters
datareader_full_name<<in>> Full entity name of the com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader.
Returns
The first com.rti.dds.subscription.DataReader found with the specified name or NULL if it is not found.
