<<interface>> Specialization of DDSTopicDescription that allows for content-based subscriptions.
It describes a more sophisticated subscription that indicates a DDSDataReader does not want to necessarily see all values of each instance published under the DDSTopic. Rather, it wants to see only the values whose contents satisfy certain criteria. This class therefore can be used to request content-based subscriptions.
The selection of the content is done using the filter_expression
with parameters expression_parameters
.
filter_expression
attribute is a string that specifies the criteria to select the data samples of interest. It is similar to the WHERE part of an SQL clause. expression_parameters
attribute is a sequence of strings that give values to the 'parameters' (i.e. "%n" tokens) in the filter_expression
. The number of supplied parameters must fit with the requested values in the filter_expression
(i.e. the number of n tokens). Queries and Filters Syntax describes the syntax of filter_expression
and expression_parameters
.

Get the filter_expression
.
Return the filter_expression
associated with the DDSContentFilteredTopic. filter_expression
is either specified on the last successful call to DDSContentFilteredTopic::set_expression or, if that method is never called, the expression specified when the DDSContentFilteredTopic was created.

Get the expression_parameters
.
Return the expression_parameters
associated with the DDSContentFilteredTopic. expression_parameters
is either specified on the last successful call to DDSContentFilteredTopic::set_expression_parameters, DDSContentFilteredTopic::set_expression or, if that method is never called, the parameters specified when the DDSContentFilteredTopic was created.
parameters | <<inout>> the filter expression parameters. The memory for the strings in this sequence is managed according to the conventions described in Conventions. In particular, be careful to avoid a situation in which RTI Connext allocates a string on your behalf and you then reuse that string in such a way that RTI Connext believes it to have more memory allocated to it than it actually does. |

<<extension>> Appends a string term to the specified parameter string.
Appends the input string to the end of the specified parameter string, separated by a comma. If the original parameter string is enclosed in quotation marks (''), the resultant string will also be enclosed in quotation marks.
This method can be used in expression parameters associated with MATCH operators in order to add a pattern to the match pattern list. For example, if the filter expression parameter value is:
'IBM'
Then append_to_expression_parameter(0, "MSFT") would generate the new value:
'IBM,MSFT'
index | <<in>> The index of the parameter string to be modified. The first index is index 0. When using the DDS_STRINGMATCHFILTER_NAME filter, index must be 0. |
val | <<in>> The string term to be appended to the parameter string. |
|
pure virtual |
<<extension>> Removes a string term from the specified parameter string.
Removes the input string from the specified parameter string. To be found and removed, the input string must exist as a complete term, bounded by comma separators or the strong boundary. If the original parameter string is enclosed in quotation marks (''), the resultant string will also be enclosed in quotation marks. If the removed term was the last entry in the string, the result will be a string of empty quotation marks.
This method can be used in expression parameters associated with MATCH operators in order to remove a pattern from the match pattern list. For example, if the filter expression paremeter value is:
'IBM,MSFT'
Then remove_from_expression_parameter(0, "IBM") would generate the expression:
'MSFT'
index | <<in>> The index of the parameter string to be modified. The first index is index 0. When using the DDS_STRINGMATCHFILTER_NAME filter, index must be 0. |
val | <<in>> The string term to be removed from the parameter string. |
