Detailed Description

template<typename TReq, typename TRep>
class rti::queuing::QueueRequester< TReq, TRep >

Allows sending requests and receiving replies.

A QueueRequester is a component suited for the queuing request-reply use case. A QueueRequester plays the role of a request QueueProducer and reply QueueConsumer.

A QueueRequester is the entity that allows sending requests to a a request SharedReaderQueue and receiving replies from a reply SharedReaderQueue.

To communicate with the SharedReaderQueues the QueueRequester creates two topics. The first topic corresponds to the request SharedReaderQueue topic and the second topic to the reply SharedReaderQueue topic.

Valid types for these topics (TReq and TRep) are: those generated by the rtiddsgen code generator, the DDS built-in types, and dds::core::xtypes::DynamicData.

See Also: QueueProducer; QueueConsumer

Template Parameters

TReq	The data type for the request SharedReaderQueue topic
TRep	The data type for the reply SharedReaderQueue topic

rti::queuing::QueueRequester< TReq, TRep >::QueueRequester	(	const QueueRequesterParams &	params,
		bool	is_enabled = `true`,
		Listener *	requester_listener = `NULL`,
		const rti::core::Guid &	requester_guid = `rti::core::Guid::unknown()`
	)

inlineexplicit

Creates a QueueRequester with parameters.

Parameters

params	All the parameters that configure this QueueRequester. See QueueRequesterParams for the list of mandatory parameters.
is_enabled	Specifies if the QueueRequester is created ready to receive notifications in its listener and send or receive data. If you choose to bind the QueueRequester to a QueueRequesterListener using an rti::core::ListenerBinder you should create the QueueRequester disabled to avoid missing listener notifications. You can later enable the disabled QueueRequester using QueueRequester::enable.
requester_listener	A pointer to a QueueRequesterListener object to receive event notifications. If you provide the listener at construction time you should also detach the listener before the QueueRequester is deleted. The QueueRequester is not automatically deleted until the listener is set to NULL. If you want the detachment of the listener to be automatically managed set requester_listener = NULL and use an rti::core::ListenerBinder instead.
requester_guid	A GUID identifier for the requester. When requester_guid is set to rti::core::Guid::unknown() the Guid identifier is generated automatically. You can retrieve the generated QueueRequester Guid using the QueueRequester::guid() method. To restart a QueueRequester just create a new one with its same GUID.
