Detailed Description

<<reference-type>> Container for all dds::core::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.

The following operations may be called even if the dds::domain::DomainParticipant is not enabled. Operations NOT in this list will fail with dds::core::NotEnabledError \ if called on a disabled DomainParticipant.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef DomainParticipantListener dds::domain::DomainParticipant::Listener

The Listener type that DomainParticipants use.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

dds::domain::DomainParticipant::DomainParticipant ( int32_t  the_domain_id)
inlineexplicit
dds::domain::DomainParticipant::DomainParticipant ( int32_t  the_domain_id,
const dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos the_qos,
dds::domain::DomainParticipantListener the_listener = NULL,
const dds::core::status::StatusMask mask = dds::core::status::StatusMask::all() 
)
inline

Create a new DomainParticipant.=.

The DomainParticipant signifies that the application intends to join the Domain identified by the domain_id argument.

Parameters
the_domain_idthe id of the domain joined by this DomainParticipant. [range] [>=0], and does not violate guidelines stated in rti::core::RtpsWellKnownPorts.
the_qosThe QoS settings for this DomainParticipant. See also set_qos().
the_listenerThe listener (NULL by default)
maskChanges of communication status to be invoked on the listener (all by default)
Precondition
The specified QoS policies must be consistent or the operation will fail and no dds::domain::DomainParticipant will be created.

If you want to create multiple participants on a given host in the same domain, make sure each one has a different participant index (set in the rti::core::policy::WireProtocol). This in turn will ensure each participant uses a different port number (since the unicast port numbers are calculated from the participant index and the domain ID).

Note that if there is a single participant per host in a given domain, the participant index can be left at the default value (-1).

Returns
domain participant or NULL on failure

Member Function Documentation

void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::listener ( Listener l,
const dds::core::status::StatusMask mask 
)
inline

Register a listener with the DomainParticipant.

Parameters
l<<in>> Listener to be installed on the entity.
mask<<in>> Changes of communication status to be invoked on the listener. See dds::core::status::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.

Care should therefore be taken not to delete any listener that has been set on an enabled participant unless some application-specific means are available of ensuring that the old listener cannot still be in use.

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions
See Also
set_listener (abstract)
rti::core::ListenerBinder for an alternative way of setting the listener.
Listener* dds::domain::DomainParticipant::listener ( ) const
inline

Get the DomainParticipant listener.

Returns
The existing listener attached to the DomainParticipant or NULL if no listener has been set.
dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos dds::domain::DomainParticipant::qos ( ) const
inline

Gets the current QoS policies of this DomainParticipant.

Returns
The current QoS policies.
void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::qos ( const dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos the_qos)
inline

Set the DomainParticipantQos setting for this DomainParticipant instance.

Parameters
the_qosSet of policies to be applied to the DomainParticipant. Immutable policies cannot be changed after this entity has been enabled.
Exceptions
dds::core::ImmutablePolicyErrorif the_qos contains a different value for an immutable policy.
dds::core::InconsistentPolicyErrorif some policies are inconsistent.

default_participant_qos()
dds::core::QosProvider::participant_qos()
DomainParticipant& dds::domain::DomainParticipant::operator<< ( const dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos the_qos)
inline

Get the DomainParticipant QoS.

const DomainParticipant& dds::domain::DomainParticipant::operator>> ( dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos the_qos) const
inline

Set the DomainParticipant QoS.

Parameters
the_qosthe new qos for this DomainParticipant.
int32_t dds::domain::DomainParticipant::domain_id ( ) const
inline

Get the unique domain identifier.

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

Returns
the domain id
void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::assert_liveliness ( )
inline

Manually assert the liveliness of the DomainParticipant.

This is used in combination with the dds::core::policy::Liveliness to indicate to RTI Connext that the entity remains active.

You need to use this operation if the dds::domain::DomainParticipant conatins dds::pub::DataWriter entities with the dds::core::policy::Liveliness::kind set to dds::core::policy::LivelinessKind::MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT and it only affects the liveliness of those dds::pub::DataWriter entities. Otherwise, it has no effect.

Note: writing data via the dds::pub::DataWriter::write() or dds::pub::DataWriter::write(const T&,const dds::core::Time&) operation asserts liveliness on the dds::pub::DataWriter itself and its dds::domain::DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

bool dds::domain::DomainParticipant::contains_entity ( const dds::core::InstanceHandle a_handle)
inline

Check whether or not the given handle represents an Entity that was created from the DomainParticipant.

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

The instance handle for an dds::core::Entity may be obtained from built-in topic data, from various statuses, or from the operation dds::core::Entity::instance_handle().

Parameters
a_handle<<in>> dds::core::InstanceHandle of the dds::core::Entity to be checked.
Returns
true if dds::core::Entity is contained by the dds::domain::DomainParticipant, or false otherwise.
dds::core::Time dds::domain::DomainParticipant::current_time ( )
inline

Get the current time.

The current value of the time that RTI Connext uses to time-stamp dds::pub::DataWriter and to set the reception-timestamp for the data updates that it receives.

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions
Returns
The current time
static void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::participant_factory_qos ( const dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantFactoryQos qos)
inlinestatic

Set the dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantFactoryQos.

Parameters
qosThe DomainParticipantFactoryQos to set.
static dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantFactoryQos dds::domain::DomainParticipant::participant_factory_qos ( )
inlinestatic

Get the current dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantFactoryQos.

Returns
The current DomainParticipantFactoryQos
static void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::finalize_participant_factory ( )
inlinestatic

Finalize the DomainParticipantFactory.

The DomainParticipantFactory is a singleton that the C++ API uses implicitly to create participants. RTI Connext provides this operation for users who want to release memory used by the participant factory.

Warning
This method uses a static variable. To avoid undefined behavior in the order of destruction it shouldn't be called in the destructor of a type for which other global or static variables exist.
static dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_participant_qos ( )
inlinestatic

Get the current DomainParticipantQos for this instance.

Returns
The current DomainParticipantQos
See Also
Default QoS
static void dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_participant_qos ( const dds::domain::qos::DomainParticipantQos qos)
inlinestatic

Set the DomainParticipantQos.

The UserData and EntityFactory policies can be changed. The other policies are immutable.

Parameters
qosThe DomainParticipantQos to set.
See Also
Default QoS
dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_publisher_qos ( ) const
inline

Get the current default dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos.

The retrieved qos will match the set of values specified on the last successful call to default_publisher_qos(const dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos& qos), or else, if the call was never made, the RTI Connext default values for the dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos.

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

If no PublisherQos is specified when a dds::pub::Publisher is constructed, the default value of the QoS set in the factory, equivalent to the value obtained by calling this method, will be used to create the Publisher.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to retrieve the default publisher QoS from a DomainParticipant while another thread may be simultaneously calling dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_publisher_qos
Returns
The current default PublisherQos
DomainParticipant& dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_publisher_qos ( const dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos the_qos)
inline

Set the default dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos for this DomainParticipant.

This set of default values will be used for a newly created dds::pub::Publisher if no dds::pub::qos::PublisherQos is specified when constructing the Publisher.

Precondition
The specified QoS policies must be consistent, or else the operation will have no effect and fail with dds::core::InconsistentPolicyError
MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to set the default publisher QoS for a DomainParticipant while another thread may be simultaneously calling dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_publisher_qos, dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_publisher_qos() or creating a Publisher with default QoS values.
Parameters
the_qosThe PublisherQos to set.
Returns
This DomainParticipant instance

dds::sub::qos::SubscriberQos dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_subscriber_qos ( ) const
inline

Get the current default dds::sub::qos::SubscriberQos.

The retrieved qos will match the set of values specified on the last successful call to dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_subscriber_qos(const dds::sub::qos::SubscriberQos & qos ), or dds::domain::DomainParticipant::set_default_subscriber_qos_with_profile, or else, if the call was never made, the default values listed in dds::sub::qos::SubscriberQos.

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

If no SubscriberQos is specified when a dds::sub::Subscriber is constructed, the default value of the QoS set in the factory, equivalent to the value obtained by calling this method, will be used to create the Subscriber.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to retrieve the default Subscriber QoS from a DomainParticipant while another thread may be simultaneously calling dds::domain::DomainParticipant::default_subscriber_qos(const dds::sub::qos::SubscriberQos & qos ).

void register_contentfilter ( const rti::topic::CustomFilter< rti::topic::ContentFilterBase > &  custom_filter,
const std::string &  filter_name 
)

<<extension>> Register a content filter which can be used to create a 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 dds::domain::DomainParticipant.

<<in>> Content filter to be registered. Cannot be NULL.

One of the Standard Exceptions

See Also
dds::domain::DomainParticipant::unregister_contentfilter(const std::string & filter_name)
Parameters
custom_filterA custom filter
filter_nameName of the filter. The name must be unique within the DomainParticipant and must not exceed 255 characters.
Exceptions
Oneof the standard Exceptions
void unregister_contentfilter ( const std::string &  filter_name)

<<extension>> Unregister a content filter previously registered with dds::domain::DomainParticipant::register_contentfilter( const rti::topic::CustomFilter<rti::topic::ContentFilterBase>& custom_filter, const std::string& filter_name).

A filter_name can be unregistered only if it has been previously registered to the dds::domain::DomainParticipant with dds::domain::DomainParticipant::register_contentfilter(const rti::topic::CustomFilter < rti::topic::ContentFilterBase > & custom_filter, const std::string & filter_name).

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

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

Parameters
filter_nameName of the filter to unregister.
Exceptions
Oneof the standard Exceptions, or dds::core::PreconditionNotMetError
void unregister_type ( const std::string &  name)

bool is_type_registered ( const std::string &  name) const

<<extension>> Check if a type has previously been registered to this dds::domain::DomainParticipant.

Parameters
nameThe name of the type to check
Returns
bool true if it is registered, false otherwise
void add_peer ( const std::string &  peer_descr_string)

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

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

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

If this method is called after dds::core::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 rti::core::policy::Discovery::initial_peers(const dds::core::StringSeq & the_initial_peers); the first attempted contact will take place after this 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 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 dds::domain::DomainParticipant attempts to discover, use the built-in participant topic: dds::topic::participant_topic_name().

To remove specific peer locators, you may use dds::domain::DomainParticipant::remove_peer(const std::string & peer_descr_string). If a peer is removed, the add_peer operation will add it back to the list of peers.

To stop communicating with a peer dds::domain::DomainParticipant that has been discovered, use dds::domain::DomainParticipant::ignore(const dds::domain::DomainParticipant & participant, const dds::core::InstanceHandle & handle).

Adding a peer description with this method has no effect on the rti::core::policy::Discovery::initial_peers(const dds::core::StringSeq & the_initial_peers) that may be subsequently retrieved with dds::domain::DomainParticipant::qos() const() (because rti::core::policy::Discovery is immutable).

Parameters
peer_descr_stringNew peer descriptor to be added. The format is specified in Peer Descriptor Format.
Exceptions
Oneof the standard Exceptions
void remove_peer ( const std::string &  peer_descr_string)

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

This method may be called any time after this 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 dds::domain::DomainParticipant::add_peer(const std::string & peer_descr_string).

Removing a peer description with this method has no effect on the rti::core::policy::Discovery::initial_peers(const dds::core::StringSeq & the_initial_peers) that may be subsequently retrieved with dds::domain::DomainParticipant::qos() const() (because rti::core::policy::Discovery is immutable).

Parameters
peer_descr_stringPeer descriptor to be removed. The format is specified in Peer Descriptor Format.
Exceptions

void resume_endpoint_discovery ( const dds::core::InstanceHandle remote_participant_handle)

<<extension>> Initiates endpoint discovery with the remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant identified by its InstanceHandle.

If the operation completes successfully, the dds::domain::DomainParticipant will initiate endpoint discovery with the remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant provided as a parameter.

When rti::core::policy::Discovery::enable_endpoint_discovery is set to false, this operation allows the RTI Connext application to select for which remote DomainParticipants endpoint discovery is performed. By disabling endpoint discovery, the DomainParticipant will not store any state about remote endpoints and will not send local endpoint information to remote DomainParticipants.

If rti::core::policy::Discovery::enable_endpoint_discovery is set to true, endpoint discovery will automatically occur for every discovered dds::domain::DomainParticipant. In this case, invoking this operation will have no effect and will return successfully.

When rti::core::policy::Discovery::enable_endpoint_discovery is set to false, you have two options after a remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant is discovered:

Setting rti::core::policy::Discovery::enable_endpoint_discovery to false enables application-level authentication use cases, in which a dds::domain::DomainParticipant will initiate endpoint discovery with a remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant after successful authentication at the application level.

The remote_participant_handle paremeter is the one that appears in the dds::sub::SampleInfo retrieved when reading the data samples available for the built-in ParticipantBuiltinTopicDataDataReader.

If the specified remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant is not in the database of discovered DomainParticipants or has been previously ignored, this operation will fail with dds::core::Error.

This operation can be called multiple times on the same remote participant. If endpoint discovery has already been resumed, successive calls will have no effect and will return successfully.

Parameters
remote_participant_handle<<in>> Handle of a discovered dds::domain::DomainParticipant for which endpoint discovery is to be resumed.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions,or dds::core::NotEnabledError

void delete_durable_subscription ( const rti::core::EndpointGroup group)

<<extension>> 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>> rti::core::EndpointGroup specifying the Durable Subscription name. Quorum is not required for this operation.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions
void register_durable_subscription ( const rti::core::EndpointGroup group,
const std::string &  topic_name 
)

<<extension>> Registers a Durable Subscription on the specified dds::topic::Topic on all Persistence Services.

If you need to receive all samples published on a dds::topic::Topic, including the ones published while a dds::sub::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 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 dds::topic::Topic, the Persistence Service will implicitly delete the previous Durable Subscription and create a new one on the new dds::topic::Topic.

Parameters
group<<in>> rti::core::EndpointGroup The Durable Subscription name and quorum.
topic_name<<in>> The topic name for which the Durable Subscription is created.
Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions
rti::core::status::DomainParticipantProtocolStatus participant_protocol_status ( )

<<extension>> Get the protocol status for this participant

This also resets the status so that it is no longer considered changed.

Exceptions
Oneof the Standard Exceptions or dds::core::NotEnabledError.

void ignore ( const dds::domain::DomainParticipant participant,
const dds::core::InstanceHandle handle 
)
related

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a remote 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 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 dds::topic::ParticipantBuiltinTopicData to provide access control.

Application data can be associated with a 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 dds::domain::DomainParticipant to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This handle is the one that appears in the dds::sub::SampleInfo retrieved when reading the data-samples available for the built-in dds::sub::DataReader to the dds::domain::DomainParticipant topic. The built-in dds::sub::DataReader is read with the same dds::sub::DataReader::read and dds::sub::DataReader::take operations used for any dds::sub::DataReader.

Parameters
participantThe DomainParticipant for which the remote entity will be ignored.
handleThe dds::core::InstanceHandle of the remote entity that will be ignored.
template<typename FwdIterator >
void ignore ( const dds::domain::DomainParticipant participant,
FwdIterator  begin,
FwdIterator  end 
)

Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a group of remote dds::domain::DomainParticipant.

The series of entities whose instance handles are made available via the provided iterators will be ignored.

Parameters
participantThe DomainParticipant for which the remote entity will be ignored
beginThe begin iterator for the series of InstanceHandles to ignore
endThe end iterator for the series of InstanceHandles to ignore

Locates an existing dds::domain::DomainParticipant.

If no such DomainParticipant exists, the operation will return dds::core::null.

If multiple DomainParticipants belonging to that domain id exist, then the operation will return one of them. It is not specified which one.

Parameters
domain_idThe domain id of the DomainParticipant to find

<<extension>> Retrieves the list of other participants discovered by this participant

This operation retrieves the list of dds::domain::DomainParticipant entities that have been discovered in the domain and that the application has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the dds::domain::DomainParticipant::ignore(const dds::domain::DomainParticipant & participant, const dds::core::InstanceHandle & handle) operation.

Parameters
participantThe DomainParticipant where to look up the discovered participants
Returns
The list of InstanceHandles that can be passed to rti::domain::discovered_participant_data().

<<extension>> Retrieves the information about one participant discovered by this participant

This operation retrieves information on a 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 dds::domain::DomainParticipant::ignore(const dds::domain::DomainParticipant & participant, const dds::core::InstanceHandle & handle) operation.

The participant_handle must correspond to such a DomainParticipant. Otherwise, the operation will fail with dds::core::PreconditionNotMetError.

Use the operation rti::domain::discovered_participants() to find the dds::domain::DomainParticipant entities that are currently discovered.

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

MT Safety:
Unsafe. It is not safe to call this operation from multiple threads at the same time.
Parameters
participantThe DomainParticipant where to look up the information
participant_handle<<in>> dds::core::InstanceHandle of dds::domain::DomainParticipant.
Returns
The participant information about participant_handle
