4.5 XML Tags for Configuring Entities
There are two top-level tags to configure Entities in the XML configuration files:
- <domain_library>: Defines a collection of domains. A domain defines a global data-space where applications can publish and subscribe to data by referring to the same Topic name. Each domain within the domain library defines the Topics and associated data-types that can be used within that domain. Note that this list is not necessarily exhaustive. The participants defined within the <domain_participant_library> might add Topics beyond the ones listed in the domain library.
- <domain_participant_library>: Defines a collection of DomainParticipants. A DomainParticipant provides the means for an application to join a domain. The DomainParticipant contains all the Entities needed to publish and subscribe data in the domain (Publishers, Subscribers, DataWriters, DataReaders, etc.).
Figure 4.2: Top-Level Tags in Configuration File and Table 4.2 Top-Level Tags in Configuration File describe the top-level tags that are allowed within the root <dds> tag.
