Detailed Description

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

Allows receiving requests and sending replies.

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

A QueueReplier is an entity that allows you to receive requests from a request SharedReaderQueue and send replies to a reply SharedReaderQueue, which are hosted by Queuing Service.

To communicate with the SharedReaderQueues, the QueueReplier 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: QueueConsumer; QueueProducer

Template Parameters

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

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::QueueReplier	(	const QueueReplierParams &	params,
		bool	is_enabled = `true`,
		Listener *	replier_listener = `NULL`,
		const rti::core::Guid &	replier_guid = `rti::core::Guid::unknown()`
	)

inlineexplicit

Creates a Replier with parameters.

Parameters

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

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

void rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::listener	(	Listener *	the_listener,
		const dds::core::status::StatusMask &	event_mask = `dds::core::status::StatusMask::none()`
	)

inline

Sets the listener associated with this queue requester.

Parameters

the_listener	The QueueReplierListener to set
event_mask	The dds::core::status::StatusMask associated with the listener

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

Listener* rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::listener ( ) const

inline

Returns the listener currently associated with this requester.

If there is no listener it returns NULL.

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

void rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::enable ( )

inline

Enables the QueueReplier to send data, receive data and receive listener notifications.

If you create the QueueReplier disabled you can enable it using this mehtod. To avoid missing listener notifciation when you use an rti::core::ListenerBinder to bind the QueueReplier to a QueueReplierListener use QueueReplier::enable to enable the QueueReplier after it is bound to the listener.

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

void rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::send_reply	(	const TRep &	reply,
		const dds::sub::SampleInfo &	related_request_info
	)

inline

Sends a reply for a previous request.

The related request identity can be retrieved from an existing request sample (Sample).

Parameters

reply	The reply to be sent
related_request_info	The identity of a previously received request

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Exceptions

See Also: QueueProducer::send_sample(const T&)

template<typename TReq , typename TRep >

void rti::queuing::QueueReplier< TReq, TRep >::send_reply	(	const TRep &	reply,
		rti::pub::WriteParams &	write_params
	)

inline

Sends a reply with the specified parameters and gets back metadata information related to the reply sent.

After calling this operation, write_params contains metadata information associated with the reply sent.

Contrary to the QueueRequester, where retrieving the sample identity for correlation is common, on the QueueReplier side using a write_params is only necessary when the default write parameters need to be overridden, and QueueReplier::send_reply(const TRep&, const dds::sub::SampleInfo&) may be used if that is not necessary.

Parameters

reply	<<in>> the reply sample to send.
write_params	<<inout>> Parameters used to send the reply. When this call ends successfully, `write_params` contains valid metadata information associated with the reply sent.

Exceptions

One	of the Standard Exceptions or NoMatchingQueueException if by the time this operation is called there is not a single matching SharedReaderQueue.
