29.5 Explicitly Instantiating a WAN or Secure Transport Plugin

As described on , there are two ways to instantiate a transport plugin. This section describes the mechanism that includes calling NDDSTransportSupport::register_transport(). (The other way is to use the Property QoS mechanism, described in 29.2 Setting Up a Transport with the Property QoS).

Notes:

• This way of instantiating a transport is not supported in the Java API. If you are using Java, use the Property QoS mechanism, described in 29.2 Setting Up a Transport with the Property QoS.
• To use this mechanism, there are extra libraries that you must link into your program and an additional header file that you must include. Please see the 29.5.1 Additional Header Files and Include Directories and 29.5.2 Additional Libraries for details.

To instantiate a WAN or Secure Transport prior to explicitly registering it with NDDSTransportSupport::register_transport(), use one of the following functions:

NDDS_Transport_Plugin* NDDS_Transport_WAN_new (
	const struct NDDS_Transport_WAN_Property_t * property_in)

NDDS_Transport_Plugin* NDDS_Transport_DTLS_new (
	const struct NDDS_Transport_DTLS_Property_t * property_in) 

See the API Reference HTML documentation for details on these functions.
