Detailed Description

<<interface>> Allows the application to: (1) declare the data it wishes to receive (i.e. make a subscription) and (2) access the data received by the attached DDSSubscriber.

A DDSDataReader refers to exactly one DDSTopicDescription (either a DDSTopic, a DDSContentFilteredTopic or a DDSMultiTopic) that identifies the data to be read.

The subscription has a unique resulting type. The data-reader may give access to several instances of the resulting type, which can be distinguished from each other by their key.

DDSDataReader is an abstract class. It must be specialised for each particular application data-type (see USER_DATA). The additional methods or functions that must be defined in the auto-generated class for a hypothetical application type Foo are specified in the generic type FooDataReader.

The following operations may be called even if the DDSDataReader is not enabled. Other operations will fail with the value DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED if called on a disabled DDSDataReader:

All sample-accessing operations, namely: FooDataReader::read, FooDataReader::take, FooDataReader::read_w_condition, and FooDataReader::take_w_condition may fail with the error DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET as described in DDSSubscriber::begin_access.

query_parameters<<in>> Parameters for the query expression.
Returns
return DDSQueryCondition created. Returns NULL in case of failure.
virtual DDSQueryCondition* DDSDataReader::create_querycondition_w_params ( DDS_QueryConditionParams params)
inlinevirtual

<<extension>> Creates a DDSQueryCondition with parameters.

The returned DDSQueryCondition will be attached and belong to the DDSDataReader.

Parameters
params<<in>> creation parameters.
Returns
return DDSQueryCondition created. Returns NULL in case of failure.
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::delete_readcondition ( DDSReadCondition condition)
inlinevirtual

Deletes a DDSReadCondition or DDSQueryCondition attached to the DDSDataReader.

Since DDSQueryCondition specializes DDSReadCondition, it can also be used to delete a DDSQueryCondition.

Precondition
The DDSReadCondition must be attached to the DDSDataReader, or the operation will fail with the error DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.
MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to delete an entity while another thread may be simultaneously calling an API that uses the entity.
Parameters
condition<<in>> Condition to be deleted.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::delete_contained_entities ( )
inlinevirtual

Deletes all the entities that were created by means of the "create" operations on the DDSDataReader.

Deletes all contained DDSReadCondition and DDSQueryCondition objects.

The operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET if the any of the contained entities is in a state where it cannot be deleted.

Once DDSDataReader::delete_contained_entities completes successfully, the application may delete the DDSDataReader, knowing that it has no contained DDSReadCondition and DDSQueryCondition objects.

MT Safety:
UNSAFE. It is not safe to delete an entity while another thread may be simultaneously calling an API that uses the entity.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::wait_for_historical_data ( const DDS_Duration_t max_wait)
inlinevirtual

Waits until all "historical" data is received for DDSDataReader entities that have a non-VOLATILE Durability Qos kind.

This operation is intended only for DDSDataReader entities that have a non-VOLATILE Durability QoS kind.

As soon as an application enables a non-VOLATILE DDSDataReader, it will start receiving both "historical" data (i.e., the data that was written prior to the time the DDSDataReader joined the domain) as well as any new data written by the DDSDataWriter entities. There are situations where the application logic may require the application to wait until all "historical" data is received. This is the purpose of the DDSDataReader::wait_for_historical_data operations.

DDSDataReader::wait_for_historical_data() blocks the calling thread until either all "historical" data is received, or until the duration specified by the max_wait parameter elapses, whichever happens first. It will return immediately if no DataWriters have been discovered at the time the operation is called; therefore it is advisable to make sure at least one DDSDataWriter has been discovered before calling this operation. (One way to do this is by using DDSDataReader::get_subscription_matched_status.)

A successful completion indicates that all the "historical" data was "received"; timing out indicates that max_wait elapsed before all the data was received.

Parameters
max_wait<<in>> Timeout value.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes, DDS_RETCODE_TIMEOUT or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::acknowledge_sample ( const DDS_SampleInfo sample_info)
inlinevirtual

<<extension>> Acknowledges a single sample explicitly.

Applicable only when DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::acknowledgment_kind = DDS_APPLICATION_EXPLICIT_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_MODE

A call to this method does not necessarily trigger the sending of an AppAck RTPS message from the DataReader to the DataWriter. How and when AppAck messages are sent can be configured using the QoS values DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::samples_per_app_ack and DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::app_ack_period.

Parameters
sample_info<<in>> DDS_SampleInfo identifying the sample being acknowledged.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::acknowledge_all ( )
inlinevirtual

<<extension>> Acknowledges all previously accessed samples.

Applicable only when DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::acknowledgment_kind = DDS_APPLICATION_EXPLICIT_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_MODE

A call to this method does not necessarily trigger the sending of an AppAck RTPS message from the DataReader to the DataWriter. How and when AppAck messages are sent can be configured using the QoS values DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::samples_per_app_ack and DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::app_ack_period.

Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::acknowledge_sample ( const DDS_SampleInfo sample_info,
const DDS_AckResponseData_t response_data 
)
inlinevirtual

<<extension>> Acknowledges a single sample explicitly.

Applicable only when DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::acknowledgment_kind = DDS_APPLICATION_EXPLICIT_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_MODE

A call to this method does not necessarily trigger the sending of an AppAck RTPS message from the DataReader to the DataWriter. How and when AppAck messages are sent can be configured using the QoS values DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::samples_per_app_ack and DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::app_ack_period.

The maximum length of the response is configured using DDS_DataReaderResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_app_ack_response_length

Parameters
sample_info<<in>> DDS_SampleInfo identifying the sample being acknowledged.
response_data<<in>> Response data sent to DDSDataWriter upon acknowledgment (via DDSDataWriterListener::on_application_acknowledgment)
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::acknowledge_all ( const DDS_AckResponseData_t response_data)
inlinevirtual

<<extension>> Acknowledges all previously accessed samples.

Applicable only when DDS_ReliabilityQosPolicy::acknowledgment_kind = DDS_APPLICATION_EXPLICIT_ACKNOWLEDGMENT_MODE

A call to this method does not necessarily trigger the sending of an AppAck RTPS message from the DataReader to the DataWriter. How and when AppAck messages are sent can be configured using the QoS values DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::samples_per_app_ack and DDS_RtpsReliableReaderProtocol_t::app_ack_period.

The maximum length of the response is configured using DDS_DataReaderResourceLimitsQosPolicy::max_app_ack_response_length.

Parameters
response_data<<in>> Response data sent to DDSDataWriter upon acknowledgment
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::get_matched_publications ( DDS_InstanceHandleSeq publication_handles)
inlinevirtual

Retrieves the list of publications currently "associated" with this DDSDataReader.

Matching publications are those in the same domain that have a matching DDSTopic, compatible QoS common partition that the DDSDomainParticipant has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the DDSDomainParticipant::ignore_publication operation.

The handles returned in the publication_handles list are the ones that are used by the RTI Connext implementation to locally identify the corresponding matched DDSDataWriter entities. These handles match the ones that appear in the instance_handle field of the DDS_SampleInfo when reading the DDS_PUBLICATION_TOPIC_NAME builtin topic

Parameters
publication_handles<<inout>>. The sequence will be grown if the sequence has ownership and the system has the corresponding resources. Use a sequence without ownership to avoid dynamic memory allocation. If the sequence is too small to store all the matches and the system can not resize the sequence, this method will fail with DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES. The maximum number of matches possible is configured with DDS_DomainParticipantResourceLimitsQosPolicy. You can use a zero-maximum sequence without ownership to quickly check whether there are any matches without allocating any memory.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes, or DDS_RETCODE_OUT_OF_RESOURCES if the sequence is too small and the system can not resize it, or DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::get_matched_publication_data ( DDS_PublicationBuiltinTopicData publication_data,
const DDS_InstanceHandle_t publication_handle 
)
inlinevirtual

Retrieves the information on a publication that is currently "associated" with the DDSDataReader.

Matched publications are those with a matching DDSTopic, compatible QoS and common partition that the application has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the DDSDomainParticipant::ignore_publication operation.

The publication_handle must correspond to a publication currently associated with the DDSDataReader. Otherwise, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. Use the operation DDSDataReader::get_matched_publications to find the publications that are currently matched with the DDSDataReader.

The above information is available through DDSDataReaderListener::on_data_available() (if a reader listener is installed on the DDSPublicationBuiltinTopicDataDataReader).

Parameters
publication_data<<inout>>. The information to be filled in on the associated publication. Cannot be NULL.
publication_handle<<in>>. Handle to a specific publication associated with the DDSDataWriter. . Must correspond to a publication currently associated with the DDSDataReader.

Matched Participants are those with a matching DDSTopic, compatible QoS and common partition that the application has not indicated should be "ignored" by means of the DDSDomainParticipant::ignore_publication operation.

The publication_handle must correspond to a publication currently associated with the DDSDataReader. Otherwise, the operation will fail with DDS_RETCODE_BAD_PARAMETER. The operation may also fail with DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET if the publication corresponds to the same DDSDomainParticipant that the DataReader belongs to. Use the operation DDSDataReader::get_matched_publications to find the publications that are currently matched with the DDSDataReader.

Note: This operation does not retrieve the DDS_ParticipantBuiltinTopicData::property.

The above information is available through DDSDataReaderListener::on_data_available() (if a reader listener is installed on the DDSPublicationBuiltinTopicDataDataReader).

get_listener (abstract)
virtual DDSTopicQuery* DDSDataReader::create_topic_query ( const DDS_TopicQuerySelection selection)
inlinevirtual

Creates a DDSTopicQuery.

The returned DDSTopicQuery will have been issued if the DDSDataReader is enabled. Otherwise, the DDSTopicQuery will be issued once the DDSDataReader is enabled

Parameters
selection<<in>> The selection with which to create the DDSTopicQuery. The special values DDS_TOPIC_QUERY_SELECTION_SELECT_ALL and DDS_TOPIC_QUERY_SELECTION_USE_READER_CONTENT_FILTER can be used. The expression can start with the special condition "@instance_state = ALIVE AND" followed by the rest of the expression. This restricts the selection to samples of alive instances.
Returns
return Created DDSTopicQuery. Returns NULL in case of failure.
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::delete_topic_query ( DDSTopicQuery query)
inlinevirtual

Deletes a DDSTopicQuery.

Cancels an active DDSTopicQuery. After deleting a TopicQuery, new DataWriters won't discover it and existing DataWriters currently publishing cached samples may stop before delivering all of them.

Parameters
query<<in>> The DDSTopicQuery to delete.
Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes
virtual DDSTopicQuery* DDSDataReader::lookup_topic_query ( const DDS_GUID_t guid)
inlinevirtual

Retrieves an existing DDSTopicQuery.

Retrieves the DDSTopicQuery that corresponds to the input DDS_GUID_t.

If no TopicQuery is found for the specified GUID or the TopicQuery is marked for deletion, this returns NULL.

To get the DDS_GUID_t associated with a DDSTopicQuery, use the method DDSTopicQuery::get_guid.

Parameters
guid<<in>> The DDSTopicQuery GUID.
virtual DDS_ReturnCode_t DDSDataReader::enable ( )
inlinevirtual

Enables the DDSEntity.

This operation enables the Entity. Entity objects can be created either enabled or disabled. This is controlled by the value of the ENTITY_FACTORY QoS policy on the corresponding factory for the DDSEntity.

By default, ENTITY_FACTORY is set so that it is not necessary to explicitly call DDSEntity::enable on newly created entities.

The DDSEntity::enable operation is idempotent. Calling enable on an already enabled Entity returns OK and has no effect.

If a DDSEntity has not yet been enabled, the following kinds of operations may be invoked on it:

Other operations may explicitly state that they may be called on disabled entities; those that do not will return the error DDS_RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED.

It is legal to delete an DDSEntity that has not been enabled by calling the proper operation on its factory.

Entities created from a factory Entity that is disabled are created disabled, regardless of the setting of the DDS_EntityFactoryQosPolicy.

Calling enable on an Entity whose factory Entity is not enabled will fail and return DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

If DDS_EntityFactoryQosPolicy::autoenable_created_entities is TRUE, the enable operation on a factory will automatically enable all entities created from that factory (for example, enabling a DDSPublisher will enable all its contained DDSDataWriter objects)

Listeners associated with an entity are not called until the entity is enabled.

Conditions associated with a disabled entity are "inactive," that is, they have a trigger_value == FALSE.

Returns
One of the Standard Return Codes, Standard Return Codes or DDS_RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

Implements DDSEntity.

virtual DDSStatusCondition* DDSDataReader::get_statuscondition ( )
inlinevirtual

Allows access to the DDSStatusCondition associated with the DDSEntity.

The returned condition can then be added to a DDSWaitSet so that the application can wait for specific status changes that affect the DDSEntity.

Returns
the status condition associated with this entity.

Implements DDSEntity.

virtual DDS_StatusMask DDSDataReader::get_status_changes ( )
inlinevirtual

Retrieves the list of communication statuses in the DDSEntity that are triggered.

That is, the list of statuses whose value has changed since the last time the application read the status using the get_*_status() method.

When the entity is first created or if the entity is not enabled, all communication statuses are in the "untriggered" state so the list returned by the get_status_changes operation will be empty.

The list of statuses returned by the get_status_changes operation refers to the status that are triggered on the Entity itself and does not include statuses that apply to contained entities.

Returns
list of communication statuses in the DDSEntity that are triggered.
