Package: DDS.DomainParticipant

Description

package DDS.DomainParticipant is

Summary: <<interface>> Container for all DDS.DomainEntity objects.

The DomainParticipant object plays several roles:

  • It acts as a container for all other DDS.Entity objects.

  • It acts as a factory for the DDS.Publisher, DDS.Subscriber, DDS.Topic and DDS.MultiTopic DDS.Entity objects.

  • It represents the participation of the application on a communication plane that isolates applications running on the same set of physical computers from each other. A domain establishes a virtual network linking all applications that share the same domainId and isolating them from applications running on different domains. In this way, several independent distributed applications can coexist in the same physical network without interfering, or even being aware of each other.

  • It provides administration services in the domain, offering operations that allow the application to ignore locally any information about a given participant (DDS.DomainParticipant.ignore_participant), publication (DDS.DomainParticipant.ignore_publication), subscription (DDS.DomainParticipant.ignore_subscription()) or topic (DDS.DomainParticipant.ignore_topic()).

    The following operations may be called even if the DDS.DomainParticipant is not enabled. Operations NOT in this list will fail with DDS.RETCODE_NOT_ENABLED \ if called on a disabled DomainParticipant.

  • DDS.Entity.enable,
  • DDS.DomainParticipant.set_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_qos_with_profile, \endif DDS.DomainParticipant.get_qos,
  • DDS.DomainParticipant.set_listener, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_listener,
  • Factory operations: DDS.DomainParticipant.create_flowcontroller, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_topic, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_topic_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_publisher, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_publisher_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_subscriber, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_subscriber_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_flowcontroller, DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_topic, DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_publisher, DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_subscriber, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_topic_qos, \ifnot CPP2_LANGUAGE_ONLY DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_topic_qos_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_topic_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_publisher_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_publisher_qos_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_publisher_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_subscriber_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_subscriber_qos_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_subscriber_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_contained_entities, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_datareader_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_datareader_qos_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_datareader_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_datawriter_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_datawriter_qos_with_profile, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_datawriter_qos, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_library, DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_profile DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_flowcontroller_property, DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_flowcontroller_property, ;

  • Operations for looking up topics: DDS.DomainParticipant.lookup_topicdescription;

  • Operations that access status: DDS.Entity.get_statuscondition, DDS.Entity.get_status_changes.

     Convention => Ada,
     Import,
     Link_Name => "DDS__DomainParticipant__TOPIC_QOS_DEFAULT";

    Summary: Special value for creating a DDS.Topic with default QoS.

    When used in DDS.DomainParticipant.create_topic, this special value is used to indicate that the DDS.Topic should be created with the default DDS.Topic QoS by means of the operation get_default_topic_qos and using the resulting QoS to create the DDS.Topic.

    When used in DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_topic_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.DomainParticipant.set_default_topic_qos operation had never been called.

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

    @warning This value is a constant and should never be modified. You cannot use this value to get the default QoS values for a Topic; for this purpose, use DDS.DomainParticipant.get_default_topic_qos.

    Summary: <<ext>> Creates a DDS.DataReader using a XML QoS profile that will be attached and belong to the implicit DDS.Subscriber.

    Precondition: The given DDS.TopicDescription must have been created from the same DomainParticipant as the implicit subscriber. If it was created from a different DomainParticipant, this procedure will return NULL.

    The DDS.DataReader created using this procedure will be associated with the implicit Subscriber. This Subscriber is automatically created (if it does not exist) using DDS.SUBSCRIBER_QOS_DEFAULT when the following procedures are called: DDS.DomainParticipant.create_datareader, DDS.DomainParticipant.create_datareader_with_profile, or DDS.DomainParticipant.get_implicit_subscriber

    self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

    topic: <<in>> The DDS.TopicDescription that the DDS.DataReader will be associated with. Cannot be NULL.

    library_name: <<in>> Library name containing the XML QoS profile. If library_name is null RTI Connext will use the default library (see DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_library).

    profile_name: <<in>> XML QoS Profile name. If profile_name is null RTI Connext will use the default profile (see DDS.DomainParticipant.set_default_profile).

    listener: <<in>> The listener of the DDS.DataReader.

    mask: <<in>>. Changes of communication status to be invoked on the listener. See DDS.StatusMask.

    Returns: A DDS.DataReader of a derived class specific to the data-type associated with the DDS.Topic or NULL if an error occurred.

    Summary: Accesses the built-in DDS.Subscriber.

    Each DDS.DomainParticipant contains several built-in DDS.Topic objects as well as corresponding DDS.DataReader objects to access them. All of these DDS.DataReader objects belong to a single built-in DDS.Subscriber.

    The built-in Topics are used to communicate information about other DDS.DomainParticipant, DDS.Topic, DDS.DataReader, and DDS.DataWriter objects.

    The built-in subscriber is created when this operation is called for the first time. The built-in subscriber is deleted automatically when the DDS.DomainParticipant is deleted.

    Precondition: If the DDS.Topic does not belong to the application's DDS.DomainParticipant, this operation fails with DDS.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    Precondition: Make sure no objects are using the topic. More specifically, there must be no existing DDS.DataReader, DDS.DataWriter, DDS.ContentFilteredTopic, or DDS.MultiTopic objects belonging to the same DDS.DomainParticipant that are using the DDS.Topic. If delete_topic is called on a DDS.Topic with any of these existing objects attached to it, it will fail with DDS.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    function Find_Topic 
    (Self: not null access Ref;
    Topic_Name: in DDS.String;
    Timeout: in DDS.Duration_T) return DDS.Topic.Ref_Access is abstract;

    Summary: Finds an existing (or ready to exist) DDS.Topic, based on its name.

    This call can be used to block for a specified duration to wait for the DDS.Topic to be created.

    If the requested DDS.Topic already exists, it is returned. Otherwise, find_topic() waits until another thread creates it or else returns when the specified timeout occurs.

    find_topic() is useful when multiple threads are concurrently creating and looking up topics. In that case, one thread can call find_topic() and, if another thread has not yet created the topic being looked up, it can wait for some period of time for it to do so. In almost all other cases, it is more straightforward to call DDS.DomainParticipant.lookup_topicdescription.

    The DDS.DomainParticipant must already be enabled.

    Note: Each DDS.Topic obtained by DDS.DomainParticipant.find_topic must also be deleted by means of DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_topic. If DDS.Topic is obtained multiple times by means of DDS.DomainParticipant.find_topic or DDS.DomainParticipant.create_topic, it must also be deleted that same number of times using DDS.DomainParticipant.delete_topic.

    Lookup_Topicdescription (abstract) 

    function Lookup_Topicdescription 
    (Self: not null access Ref;
    Name: in DDS.String) return DDS.TopicDescription.Ref_Access is abstract;

    Summary: Looks up an existing, locally created DDS.TopicDescription, based on its name.

    DDS.TopicDescription is the base class for DDS.Topic, DDS.MultiTopic and DDS.ContentFilteredTopic. So you can narrow the DDS.TopicDescription returned from this operation to a DDS.Topic or DDS.ContentFilteredTopic as appropriate.

    Unlike DDS.DomainParticipant.find_topic, which logically returns a new DDS.Topic object that must be independently deleted, this operation returns a reference to the original local object.

    The DDS.DomainParticipant does not have to be enabled when you call lookup_topicdescription().

    The returned topic may be either enabled or disabled.

    MT Safety:
    UNSAFE. It is not safe to lookup a topic description while another thread is creating that topic.

    self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

    topic_name: <<in>> Name of DDS.TopicDescription to search for. This string must be no more than 255 characters; it cannot be NULL.

    Returns: The topic description, if it has already been created locally, otherwise it returns NULL.

    Related_Topic: in DDS.Topic.Ref_Access;
    Filter_Expression: in DDS.String;
    Expression_Parameters: access DDS.String_Seq.Sequence) return DDS.ContentFilteredTopic.Ref_Access is abstract;

    Summary: Creates a DDS.ContentFilteredTopic, that can be used to do content-based subscriptions.

    The DDS.ContentFilteredTopic only relates to samples published under that DDS.Topic, filtered according to their content. The filtering is done by means of evaluating a logical expression that involves the values of some of the data-fields in the sample. The logical expression derived from the filter_expression and expression_parameters arguments.

    DDSQueryAndFilterSyntaxModule describes the syntax of filter_expression and expression_parameters.

    Precondition: The application is not allowed to create two DDS.ContentFilteredTopic objects with the same topic_name attached to the same DDS.DomainParticipant. If the application attempts this, this procedure will fail and returns NULL.

    Precondition: If related_topic does not belong to this DDS.DomainParticipant, this operation returns NULL.

    Precondition: This function will create a content filter using the builtin SQL filter which implements a superset of the DDS specification. This filter requires that all IDL types have been compiled with typecodes. If this precondition is not met, this operation returns NULL.

    self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

    name: <<in>> Name for the new content filtered topic, must not exceed 255 characters. Cannot be NULL.

    related_topic: <<in>> DDS.Topic to be filtered. Cannot be NULL.

    Summary: Deletes a DDS.ContentFilteredTopic.

    Precondition: The deletion of a DDS.ContentFilteredTopic is not allowed if there are any existing DDS.DataReader objects that are using the DDS.ContentFilteredTopic. If the operation is called on a DDS.ContentFilteredTopic with existing DDS.DataReader objects attached to it, it will fail with DDS.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    Precondition: The DDS.ContentFilteredTopic must be created by this DDS.DomainParticipant, or else this operation will fail with DDS.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    Summary: Not supported Creates a MultiTopic that can be used to subscribe to multiple topics and combine/filter the received data into a resulting type.

    The resulting type is specified by the type_name argument. The list of topics and the logic used to combine, filter, and rearrange the information from each DDS.Topic are specified using the subscription_expression and expression_parameters arguments.

    DDSQueryAndFilterSyntaxModule describes the syntax of subscription_expression and expression_parameters.

    Precondition: The application is not allowed to create two DDS.TopicDescription objects with the same name attached to the same DDS.DomainParticipant. If the application attempts this, this procedure will fail and return NULL.

    Precondition: Prior to creating a DDS.MultiTopic, the type must have been registered with dds. This is done using the FooTypeSupport.register_type operation on a derived class of the DDS.TypeSupport interface. Otherwise, this procedure will return NULL.

    Precondition: The deletion of a DDS.MultiTopic is not allowed if there are any existing DDS.DataReader objects that are using the DDS.MultiTopic. If the delete_multitopic operation is called on a DDS.MultiTopic with existing DDS.DataReader objects attached to it, it will fail with DDS.RETCODE_PRECONDITION_NOT_MET.

    This operation deletes all contained DDS.Publisher (including an implicit Publisher, if one exists), DDS.Subscriber (including implicit Subscriber), DDS.Topic, DDS.ContentFilteredTopic, and DDS.MultiTopic objects.

    Prior to deleting each contained entity, this operation will recursively call the corresponding delete_contained_entities() operation on each contained entity (if applicable). This pattern is applied recursively. In this manner the operation delete_contained_entities() on the DDS.DomainParticipant will end up recursively deleting all the entities contained in the DDS.DomainParticipant, including the DDS.DataWriter, DDS.DataReader, as well as the DDS.QueryCondition, DDS.ReadCondition, and DDS.TopicQuery objects belonging to the contained DDS.DataReader.

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

    Ignore_Participant (abstract) 

    procedure Ignore_Participant 
    (Self: not null access Ref;
    Handle: in DDS.InstanceHandle_T) is abstract;

    Summary: Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a remote DDS.DomainParticipant.

    From the time of this call onwards, RTI Connext will locally behave as if the remote participant did not exist. This means it will ignore any topic, publication, or subscription that originates on that DDS.DomainParticipant.

    There is no way to reverse this operation.

    This operation can be used in conjunction with the discovery of remote participants offered by means of the DDS.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData to provide access control.

    Application data can be associated with a DDS.DomainParticipant by means of the DDSUserDataQosModule policy. This application data is propagated as a field in the built-in topic and can be used by an application to implement its own access control policy.

    The DDS.DomainParticipant to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This handle is the one that appears in the DDS.SampleInfo retrieved when reading the data-samples available for the built-in DDS.DataReader to the DDS.DomainParticipant topic.

    From the time of this call onwards, RTI Connext will locally behave as if the remote participant did not exist. This means it will ignore any topic, publication, or subscription that originates on that DDS.DomainParticipant.

    There is no way to reverse this operation.

    This operation can be used in conjunction with the discovery of remote participants offered by means of the DDS.ParticipantBuiltinTopicData to provide access control.

    Application data can be associated with a DDS.DomainParticipant by means of the DDSUserDataQosModule policy. This application data is propagated as a field in the built-in topic and can be used by an application to implement its own access control policy.

    The DDS.DomainParticipant to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This handle is the one that appears in the DDS.SampleInfo retrieved when reading the data-samples available for the built-in DDS.DataReader to the DDS.DomainParticipant topic. The built-in DDS.DataReader is read with the same FooDataReader.read and FooDataReader.take operations used for any DDS.DataReader.

    Ignore_Topic (abstract) 

    procedure Ignore_Topic 
    (Self: not null access Ref;
    Handle: in DDS.InstanceHandle_T) is abstract;

    Summary: Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a DDS.Topic.

    This means it will locally ignore any publication, or subscription to the DDS.Topic.

    There is no way to reverse this operation.

    This operation can be used to save local resources when the application knows that it will never publish or subscribe to data under certain topics.

    The DDS.Topic to ignore is identified by the handle argument. This is the handle of a DDS.Topic that appears in the DDS.SampleInfo retrieved when reading data samples from the built-in DDS.DataReader for the DDS.Topic.

    self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

    Summary: Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a publication.

    A publication is defined by the association of a topic name, user data, and partition set on the DDS.Publisher (see DDS.PublicationBuiltinTopicData). After this call, any data written by that publication's DDS.DataWriter will be ignored.

    This operation can be used to ignore local and remote DataWriters.

    The publication (DataWriter) to ignore is identified by the handle argument.

  • To ignore a remote DataWriter, the handle can be obtained from the DDS.SampleInfo retrieved when reading data samples from the built-in DDS.DataReader for the publication topic.

  • To ignore a local DataWriter, the handle can be obtained by calling DDS.Entity.get_instance_handle for the local DataWriter.

    There is no way to reverse this operation.

    self: <<in>> Cannot be NULL

    Summary: Instructs RTI Connext to locally ignore a subscription.

    A subscription is defined by the association of a topic name, user data, and partition set on the DDS.Subscriber (see DDS.SubscriptionBuiltinTopicData). After this call, any data received related to that subscription's DDS.DataReader will be ignored.

    This operation can be used to ignore local and remote DataReaders.

    The subscription to ignore is identified by the handle argument.

  • To ignore a remote DataReader, the handle can be obtained from the DDS.SampleInfo retrieved when reading data samples from the built-in DDS.DataReader for the subscription topic.

  • To ignore a local DataReader, the handle can be obtained by calling DDS.Entity.get_instance_handle for the local DataReader.

    There is no way to reverse this operation.

    This is used in combination with the DDS.LivelinessQosPolicy to indicate to RTI Connext that the entity remains active.

    You need to use this operation if the DDS.DomainParticipant contains DDS.DataWriter entities with the DDS.LivelinessQosPolicy.kind set to DDS.MANUAL_BY_PARTICIPANT_LIVELINESS_QOS and it only affects the liveliness of those DDS.DataWriter entities. Otherwise, it has no effect.

    Note: writing data via the FooDataWriter.write or FooDataWriter.write_w_timestamp operation asserts liveliness on the DDS.DataWriter itself and its DDS.DomainParticipant. Consequently the use of assert_liveliness() is only needed if the application is not writing data regularly.

    Summary: <<ext>> Attempt to contact one or more additional peer participants.

    Add the given peer description to the list of peers with which this DDS.DomainParticipant will try to communicate.

    This procedure may be called at any time after this DDS.DomainParticipant has been created (before or after it has been enabled).

    If this procedure is called after DDS.Entity.enable, an attempt will be made to contact the new peer(s) immediately.

    If this procedure is called before the DomainParticipant is enabled, the peer description will simply be added to the list that was populated by DDS.DiscoveryQosPolicy.initial_peers; the first attempted contact will take place after this DDS.DomainParticipant is enabled.

    Adding a peer description with this procedure does not guarantee that any peer(s) discovered as a result will exactly correspond to those described:

  • This DDS.DomainParticipant will attempt to discover peer participants at the given locations but may not succeed if no such participants are available. In this case, this procedure will not wait for contact attempt(s) to be made and it will not report an error.

  • If remote participants described by the given peer description are discovered, the distributed application is configured with asymmetric peer lists, and DDS.DiscoveryQosPolicy.accept_unknown_peers is set to DDS.BOOLEAN_TRUE. Thus, this DDS.DomainParticipant may actually discover more peers than are described in the given peer description.

    To be informed of the exact remote participants that are discovered, regardless of which peers this DDS.DomainParticipant attempts to discover, use the built-in participant topic: DDS.PARTICIPANT_TOPIC_NAME.

    To remove specific peer locators, you may use DDS.DomainParticipant.remove_peer. If a peer is removed, the add_peer operation will add it back to the list of peers.

    To stop communicating with a peer DDS.DomainParticipant that has been discovered, use DDS.DomainParticipant.ignore_participant.

    Adding a peer description with this procedure has no effect on the DDS.DiscoveryQosPolicy.initial_peers that may be subsequently retrieved with DDS.DomainParticipant.get_qos() (because DDS.DiscoveryQosPolicy is immutable).
