Package: DDS.DomainParticipantFactory

Description

package DDS.DomainParticipantFactory is

Summary: <<singleton>> <<interface>> Allows creation and destruction of DDS.DomainParticipant objects.

The sole purpose of this class is to allow the creation and destruction of DDS.DomainParticipant objects. This class itself is a <<singleton>>, and accessed via the get_instance() procedure, and destroyed with finalize_instance() procedure.

A single application can participate in multiple domains by instantiating multiple DDS.DomainParticipant objects.

An application may even instantiate multiple participants in the same domain. Participants in the same domain exchange data in the same way regardless of whether they are in the same application or different applications or on the same node or different nodes; their location is transparent.

There are two important caveats:

  • When there are multiple participants on the same node (in the same application or different applications) in the same domain, the application(s) must make sure that the participants do not try to bind to the same port numbers. You must disambiguate between the participants by setting a participant ID for each participant (DDS.WireProtocolQosPolicy.participant_id). The port numbers used by a participant are calculated based on both the participant index and the domain ID, so if all participants on the same node have different participant indexes, they can coexist in the same domain.
  • You cannot mix entities from different participants. For example, you cannot delete a topic on a different participant than you created it from, and you cannot ask a subscriber to create a reader for a topic created from a participant different than the subscriber's own participant. (Note that it is permissable for an application built on top of RTI Connext to know about entities from different participants. For example, an application could keep references to a reader from one domain and a writer from another and then bridge the domains by writing the data received in the reader callback.)

Constants & Global variables

PARTICIPANT_QOS_DEFAULT 

PARTICIPANT_QOS_DEFAULT : aliased DDS.DomainParticipantQos;

Summary: Special value for creating a DomainParticipant with default QoS.

When used in DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.create_participant, this special value is used to indicate that the DDS.DomainParticipant should be created with the default DDS.DomainParticipant QoS by means of the operation DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.get_default_participant_qos() and using the resulting QoS to create the DDS.DomainParticipant.

When used in DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_participant_qos, this special value is used to indicate that the default QoS should be reset back to the initial value that would be used if the DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_participant_qos operation had never been called.

When used in DDS.DomainParticipant.set_qos, this special value is used to indicate that the QoS of the DDS.DomainParticipant should be changed to match the current default QoS set in the DDS.DomainParticipantFactory that the DDS.DomainParticipant belongs to.

RTI Connext treats this special value as a constant.

Note: You cannot use this value to get the default QoS values from the DomainParticipant factory; for this purpose, use DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.get_default_participant_qos.

Subprograms & Entries

Get_Instance 

function Get_Instance return Ref_Access;

Summary: Gets the singleton instance of this class.

MT Safety:
On non-Linux systems: UNSAFE for multiple threads to simultaneously make the FIRST call to either DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.get_instance() or DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.finalize_instance(). Subsequent calls are thread safe. (On Linux systems, these calls are thread safe.)

DDSTheParticipantFactory can be used as an alias for the singleton factory returned by this operation.

Returns: The singleton DDS.DomainParticipantFactory instance.

Create_Participant 

function Create_Participant 
(Self: not null access Ref;
Domain_Id: in DDS.DomainId_T := Default_Domain;
Qos: in DDS.DomainParticipantQos := PARTICIPANT_QOS_DEFAULT;
A_Listener: in DDS.DomainParticipantListener.Ref_Access := null;
Mask: in DDS.StatusMask := DDS.STATUS_MASK_NONE) return DDS.DomainParticipant.Ref_Access;

Summary: Creates a new DDS.DomainParticipant object.

Precondition: The specified QoS policies must be consistent or the operation will fail and no DDS.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 DDS.WireProtocolQosPolicy). 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).

procedure Set_Default_Profile 
(Self: not null access Ref;
library_name: DDS.String;
profile_name: DDS.String);

Summary: <<ext>> Sets the default XML profile for a DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.

This procedure specifies the profile that will be used as the default the next time a default DomainParticipantFactory profile is needed during a call to a DomainParticipantFactory procedure. When calling a DDS.DomainParticipantFactory procedure that requires a profile_name parameter, you can use NULL to refer to the default profile. (This same information applies to setting a default library.)

This procedure does not set the default QoS for newly created DomainParticipants; for this functionality, use DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.set_default_participant_qos_with_profile (you may pass in NULL after having called set_default_profile()).

self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

library_name: <<in>> The library name containing the profile.

profile_name: <<in>> The profile name. If profile_name is null any previous default is unset.

Only necessary to explicitly reclaim resources used by the participant factory singleton. Note that on many OSs, these resources are automatically reclaimed by the OS when the program terminates. However, some memory-check tools still flag these as unreclaimed. So this procedure provides a way to clean up memory used by the participant factory.

Precondition: All participants created from the factory have been deleted.

Postcondition: All resources belonging to the factory have been reclaimed. Another call to DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.get_instance will return a new lifecycle of the singleton.

MT Safety:
On non-Linux systems: UNSAFE for multiple threads to simultaneously make the FIRST call to either DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.get_instance() or DDS.DomainParticipantFactory.finalize_instance(). Subsequent calls are thread safe. (On Linux systems, these calls are thread safe.)
