Detailed Description

Port base class.

This class is a base class of RTC::Port. RTC::Port inherits a concept of RT-Component, and can be regarded as almost the same as it. In the concept of RT-Component, Port is attached to the component, can mediate interaction between other components and usually is associated with some interfaces. Component can provide or require interface for outside via Port, and the Port plays a role to manage the connection.

Concrete class of Port assumes to be usually created at the same time that RT-Component's instance is created, be registerd to RT-Component after provided and required interfaces are registerd, and function as accessible Port from outside.

RTC::Port provides the following operations as CORBA interface:

This class provides implementations of these operations.

In these operations, as for get_port_profile(), get_connector_profiles(), get_connector_profile(), connect(), disconnect() and disconnect_all(), since their behaviors especially need not to be change in subclass, overriding is not recommended.

As for notify_connect() and notify_disconnect(), you may have to modify behavior according to the kind of interfaces that subclass provides and requires, however it is not recommended these are overriden directly. In the section of notify_connect() and notify_disconnect() as described below, it is recommended that you modify behavior by overriding the protected function related to these functions.

Append an interface to the PortInterfaceProfile.

This operation appends interface information to the PortInterfaceProfile that is owned by the Port. The given interfaces information only updates PortInterfaceProfile of PortProfile that is obtained through get_port_profile(). In order to provide and require interfaces, proper functions (for example publishInterface(), subscribeInterface() and so on) should be overridden in subclasses, and these functions provide concrete interface connection and disconnection functionality.

The interface (instance) name have to be unique in the Port. If the given interface name is identical with stored interface name, this function returns false.

[CORBA interface] Connect the Port

This operation establishes connection according to the given ConnectionProfile inforamtion. This function is premised on calling from mainly application program or tools.

Precondition
To establish the connection among Ports of RT-Components, application programs must call this operation giving ConnectorProfile with valid values as an argument.
Out of ConnectorProfile member variables, "name", "ports" and "properties" members shall be set valid data. "connector_id" shall be set as empty string value or valid string UUID value.
ConnectorProfile::name that is connection identifier shall be any valid CORBA::string.
ConnectorProfile::connector_id shall be set unique identifier (usually UUID is used) for all connections. Since UUID string value is usually set in the connect() function, caller should just set empty string. If the connect() is called with the same UUID as existing connection, this function returns PRECONDITION_NOT_MET error. However, in order to update the existing connection profile, the "connect()" operation with existing connector ID might be used as valid method by future extension
ConnectorProfile::ports, which is sequence of RTC::PortService references, shall store usually two or more ports' references. As exceptions, the "connect()" operation might be called with only one reference in ConnectorProfile, in case of just getting interfaces information from the port, or connecting a special port (i.e. the peer port except RTC::PortService on CORBA).
ConnectorProfile::properties might be used to give certain properties to the service interfaces associated with the port. The properties is a sequence variable with a pair of key string and Any type value. Although the A variable can store any type of values, it is not recommended except string.
The following is the summary of the ConnectorProfile member to be set when this operation is called.
  • ConnectorProfile::name: The any name of connection
  • ConnectorProfile::connector_id: Empty string
  • ConnectorProfile::ports: One or more port references
  • ConnectorProfile::properties: Properties for the interfaces
Postcondition
connect() operation will call the first port in the sequence of the ConnectorProfile.
"noify_connect()"s perform cascaded call to the ports stored in the ConnectorProfile::ports by order. Even if errors are raised by intermediate notify_connect() operation, as long as ports' object references are valid, it is guaranteed that this cascaded call is completed in all the ports. If invalid or dead ports exist in the port's sequence, the ports are skipped and notify_connect() is called for the next valid port.
connect() function returns RTC_OK if all the notify_connect() return RTC_OK. At this time the connection is completed. If notify_connect()s return except RTC_OK, connect() calls disconnect() operation with the connector_id to destruct the connection, and then it returns error code from notify_connect().
The ConnectorProfile argument of the connect() operation returns ConnectorProfile::connector_id and various information about service interfaces that is published by publishInterfaces() in the halfway ports. The connect() and halfway notify_connect() functions never change ConnectorProfile::{name, ports}.
Parameters
connector_profileThe ConnectorProfile.
Returns
ReturnCode_t The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

Reimplemented in RTC::OutPortBase, and RTC::InPortBase.

virtual ReturnCode_t RTC::PortBase::connectNext ( ConnectorProfile &  connector_profile)
protectedvirtual

virtual void RTC::PortBase::deactivateInterfaces ( )
pure virtual

Deactivate all Port interfaces.

This operation deactivate all interfaces that is registered in the ports.

protected

Delete the interface registration from the PortInterfaceProfile.

This operation deletes interface information from the PortInterfaceProfile that is owned by the Port.

Parameters
nameThe instance name of the interface.
polThe interface's polarity (RTC::PROVIDED or RTC:REQUIRED)
Returns
Delete processing result of interface. false would be returned if the given name is not registered.
virtual ReturnCode_t RTC::PortBase::disconnect ( const char *  connector_id)
throw (CORBA::SystemException
)
virtual

[CORBA interface] Disconnect the Port

This operation destroys connection between this port and the peer port according to given connector_id. Usually connector_id should be a UUID string that is unique in the system. And the connection, which is established by connect()/notify_connect() functions, is identified by the ConnectorProfile::connector_id.

Precondition
connector_id shall be a character string which is same with ID of at least one of the ConnectorProfiles stored in this port. If ConnectorProfile that has same ID with the given connector_id does not exist in the list of ConnectorProfile, this operation returns BAD_PARAMTER error.
ConnectorProfile::ports that is same ID with given connector_id shall store the valid ports' references.
Postcondition
disconnect() function invokes the notify_disconnect() for the port that is stored in the first of the ConnectorProfile::ports. If notify_disconnect() call fails for the first port, It tries on calling "notify_disconnect()" in order for ports stored in ConnectorProfile::ports until the operation call is succeeded. If notify_disconnect() succeeded for at least one port, it returns return code from notify_disconnect(). If none of notify_connect() call succeeded, it returns RTC_ERROR error.
Parameters
connector_idThe ID of the ConnectorProfile.
Returns
ReturnCode_t The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

[CORBA interface] Notify the Ports connection

This operation is usually called from other ports' connect() or notify_connect() operations when connection between ports is established. This function is not premised on calling from other functions or application programs.

According to the template method pattern, the notify_connect() calls "publishInterfaces()" and "subsctiveInterfaces()" functions, which are premised on implementing in the subclasses. The processing sequence is as follows.

According to the order of port's references stored in the ConnectorProfile::ports, publishing interface information to all the ports and subscription interface information from all the ports is performed by "notify_connect()"s. This cascaded call never aborts in the halfway operations, and calling sequence shall be completed for all the ports.

Precondition
notify_connect() calls notify_connect() for the port's reference that is stored in next of this port's reference in the sequence of the ConnectorProfile::ports. Therefore the reference of this port shall be stored in the ConnectorProfile::ports. If this port's reference is not stored in the sequence, BAD_PARAMETER error will be returned, except the return code is overwritten by other operations.
UUID shall be set to ConnectorProfile::connector_id as a unique identifier when this operation is called. Usually, connector_id is given by a connect() function and, the behavior is undefined in the case of a null character.
Postcondition
ConnectorProfile::name, ConnectorProfile::connector_id, ConnectorProfile::ports are invariant, and they are never rewritten by notify_connect() operations.
In order to transfer interface information to other ports, interface property information is stored into the ConnectorProfile::properties.
At the end of notify_connect() operation for the first port stored in the ConnectorProfile::ports sequence, the related ports' notify_connect() invocations complete. Even if errors are raised at the halfway of publishInterfaces(), connectNext(), subscribeInterfaces() and storing process of ConnectorProfile, error codes are saved and the first error is returned.
Parameters
connector_profileThe ConnectorProfile.
Returns
ReturnCode_t The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

Reimplemented in RTC::OutPortBase, and RTC::InPortBase.

virtual ReturnCode_t RTC::PortBase::notify_disconnect ( const char *  connector_id)
throw (CORBA::SystemException
)
virtual

[CORBA interface] Notify the Ports disconnection

This operation is invoked between Ports internally when the connection is destroied. Generally it is not premised on calling from application programs or RTC objects except Port object.

According to the template method pattern, the notify_disconnect() calls unsubsctiveInterfaces() function, which are premised on implementing in the subclasses. The processing sequence is as follows.

  • Searching ConnectorProfile
  • Calling notify_disconnect() for the next port
  • Unsubscribing interfaces
  • Deleting ConnectorProfile

notify_disconnect() notifies disconnection to all the ports by cascaded call to the stored ports in the ConnectorProfile::ports in order.

Precondition
The port shall store the ConnectorProfile having same id with connector_id.
Postcondition
If ConnectorProfile of same ID with connector_id does not exist, it returns BAD_PARAMETER error.
For the cascaded call, this operation calls noify_disconnect() for the port that is stored in the next of this port in the ConnectorProfile::ports. If the operation call raises exception for some failure, it tries to call notify_disconnect() and skips until the operation succeeded. If none of operation call succeeded, it returns RTC_ERROR.
At the end of notify_disconnect() operation for the first port stored in the ConnectorProfile::ports sequence, the related ports' notify_disconnect() invocations complete.
Parameters
connector_idThe ID of the ConnectorProfile.
Returns
ReturnCode_t The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

Publish interface information.

This operation is pure virutal function that would be called at the beginning of the notify_connect() process sequence. In the notify_connect(), the following methods would be called in order.

In the concrete Port, this method should be overridden. This method processes the given ConnectorProfile argument and if the given parameter is invalid, it would return error code of ReturnCode_t. Usually, publishInterfaces() method should set interfaces information owned by this Port, and publish it to the other Ports.
When this method is called, other Ports' interfaces information may not be completed. Therefore, the process to obtain other Port's interfaces information should be done in the subscribeInterfaces() method.
This operation should create the new connection for the new connector_id, and should update the connection for the existing connection_id.

Parameters
connector_profileThe connection profile information
Returns
The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

Implemented in RTC::OutPortBase, RTC::CorbaPort, and RTC::InPortBase.

virtual void RTC::PortBase::setConnectionLimit ( int  limit_value)
protectedvirtual

Set the maximum number of connections.

Parameters
limit_valueThe maximum number of connections
void RTC::PortBase::setName ( const char *  name)

Set the name of this Port.

This operation sets the name of this Port. The given Port's name is applied to Port's PortProfile.name.

Parameters
nameThe name of this Port.
void RTC::PortBase::setOnConnected ( ConnectionCallback on_connected)

Setting callback called on connection established.

This operation sets a functor that is called when connection between ports established.

Since the ownership of the callback functor object is owned by the caller, it has the responsibility of object destruction.

The callback functor is called only when notify_connect() function successfully returns. In case of error, the functor will not be called.

Since this functor is called with ConnectorProfile argument that is same as out-parameter of notify_connect() function, you can get all the information of published interfaces of related ports in the connection. Although by using this functor, you can modify ConnectorProfile argument for out-paramter of notify_connect(), the modification should be done carefully for fear of causing connection inconsistency.

Parameters
on_subscribea pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOnConnectionLost ( ConnectionCallback on_connection_lost)

Setting callback called on connection lost.

This operation sets a functor that is called when connection of this port does lost.

Parameters
on_connection_losta pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOnDisconnected ( ConnectionCallback on_disconnected)

Setting callback called on disconnected.

This operation sets a functor that is called when connection between ports is destructed.

Since the ownership of the callback functor object is owned by the caller, it has the responsibility of object destruction.

The callback functor is called just before notify_disconnect() that is disconnection execution function returns.

This functor is called with argument of corresponding ConnectorProfile. Since this ConnectorProfile will be destructed after calling this functor, modifications never affect others.

Parameters
on_disconnecteda pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOnPublishInterfaces ( ConnectionCallback on_publish)

Setting callback called on publish interfaces.

This operation sets a functor that is called after publishing interfaces process when connecting between ports.

Since the ownership of the callback functor object is owned by the caller, it has the responsibility of object destruction.

The callback functor is called after calling publishInterfaces() that is virtual member function of the PortBase class with an argument of ConnectorProfile type that is same as the argument of publishInterfaces() function. Although by using this functor, you can modify the ConnectorProfile published by publishInterfaces() function, the modification should be done carefully for fear of causing connection inconsistency.

Parameters
on_publisha pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOnSubscribeInterfaces ( ConnectionCallback on_subscribe)

Setting callback called on publish interfaces.

This operation sets a functor that is called before subscribing interfaces process when connecting between ports.

Since the ownership of the callback functor object is owned by the caller, it has the responsibility of object destruction.

The callback functor is called before calling subscribeInterfaces() that is virtual member function of the PortBase class with an argument of ConnectorProfile type that is same as the argument of subscribeInterfaces() function. Although by using this functor, you can modify ConnectorProfile argument for subscribeInterfaces() function, the modification should be done carefully for fear of causing connection inconsistency.

Parameters
on_subscribea pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOnUnsubscribeInterfaces ( ConnectionCallback on_subscribe)

Setting callback called on unsubscribe interfaces.

This operation sets a functor that is called before unsubscribing interfaces process when disconnecting between ports.

Since the ownership of the callback functor object is owned by the caller, it has the responsibility of object destruction.

The callback functor is called before calling unsubscribeInterfaces() that is virtual member function of the PortBase class with an argument of ConnectorProfile type that is same as the argument of unsubscribeInterfaces() function. Although by using this functor, you can modify ConnectorProfile argument for unsubscribeInterfaces() function, the modification should be done carefully for fear of causing connection inconsistency.

Parameters
on_unsubscribea pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setOwner ( RTObject_ptr  owner)

Set the owner RTObject of the Port.

This operation sets the owner RTObject of this Port.

Parameters
ownerThe owner RTObject's reference of this Port
void RTC::PortBase::setPortConnectListenerHolder ( PortConnectListeners portconnListeners)

Setting PortConnectListener holder.

This operation sets a functor that is called when connection of this port does lost.

Parameters
on_connection_losta pointer to ConnectionCallback's subclasses
void RTC::PortBase::setPortRef ( PortService_ptr  port_ref)

Set the object reference of this Port.

This operation sets the object reference itself to the Port's PortProfile.

Parameters
port_refThe object reference of this Port.
void RTC::PortBase::setUUID ( ConnectorProfile &  connector_profile) const
protected

Generate and set the UUID to the ConnectorProfile.

This operation generates and set UUID to the ConnectorProfile.

Parameters
connector_profileConnectorProfile to be set connector_id
virtual ReturnCode_t RTC::PortBase::subscribeInterfaces ( const ConnectorProfile &  connector_profile)
protectedpure virtual

Publish interface information.

This operation is pure virutal function that would be called at the mid-flow of the notify_connect() process sequence. In the notify_connect(), the following methods would be called in order.

In the concrete Port, this method should be overridden. This method processes the given ConnectorProfile argument and if the given parameter is invalid, it would return error code of ReturnCode_t. The given argument ConnectorProfile includes all the interfaces information in it. Usually, subscribeInterafaces() method obtains information of interfaces from ConnectorProfile, and should set it to the interfaces that require them.
This operation should create the new connection for the new connector_id, and should update the connection for the existing connection_id.

Parameters
connector_profileThe connection profile information
Returns
The return code of ReturnCode_t type.

Implemented in RTC::CorbaPort, RTC::OutPortBase, and RTC::InPortBase.

virtual void RTC::PortBase::unsubscribeInterfaces ( const ConnectorProfile &  connector_profile)
protectedpure virtual

Disconnect interface connection.

This operation is pure virutal function that would be called at the end of the notify_disconnect() process sequence. In the notify_disconnect(), the following methods would be called in order to disconnect.

Parameters
connector_profileThe connection profile information

Implemented in RTC::CorbaPort, RTC::OutPortBase, and RTC::InPortBase.

void RTC::PortBase::updateConnectorProfile ( const ConnectorProfile &  connector_profile)
protected

Append or update the ConnectorProfile list.

This operation appends or updates ConnectorProfile of the Port by the given ConnectorProfile. If the connector_id of the given ConnectorProfile does not exist in the Port's ConnectorProfile list, the given ConnectorProfile would be append to the list. If the same id exists, the list would be updated.

Parameters
connector_profilethe ConnectorProfile to be appended or updated
void RTC::PortBase::updateConnectors ( )
protected

Disconnect ports that doesn't exist.

This function detects dead-port, and if dead ports are found in the connection list, disconnects them.
