Detailed Description

Generic interface for the invocation object visible to the IDL compiler.

The main objective of this class is to adapt the type and invocation specific information declared in the IDL by the application and convert them as CORBA invocations to the target object. Implementation of this class knows how to make invocations on a collocated or a remote object.

This adapter class serves as the base class for various types of invocations like AMI, DII, DSI etc. Adapter classes for AMI, DII, DSI inherit from this class and their local behavioral information before kicking off an invocation.

@ More info.. Wafer thin inclusions All stuff created on stack Only handles starts and restarts

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TAO::Invocation_Adapter::Invocation_Adapter	(	CORBA::Object_ptr	target,
		Argument **	args,
		int	arg_number,
		const char *	operation,
		size_t	op_len,
		int	collocation_opportunity,
		TAO::Invocation_Type	type = `TAO_TWOWAY_INVOCATION`,
		TAO::Invocation_Mode	mode = `TAO_SYNCHRONOUS_INVOCATION`
	)

The only constructor used by the IDL compiler, and only way to create this adapter.

Parameters:

target	Points to the object on which this invocation is being invoked.
args	Array of pointers to the argument list in the operation declaration. This includes the return, inout and out arguments.
arg_number	Number of arguments in the above array. This is the number of elements in the above array.
operation	The name of the operation being invoked.
op_len	Number of characters in the operation name. This is an optimization which helps us to avoid calling strlen () while creating a message format.
collocation_opportunity	Indicate which collocation optimizations should be possible
type	The operation type which could be a oneway or two way operation. This information is available in the IDL file.
mode	Invocation mode. This information is also available in the IDL file and in the generated code.

TAO::Invocation_Adapter::~Invocation_Adapter ( void ) [virtual]

TAO::Invocation_Adapter::Invocation_Adapter ( void ) [private]

TAO::Invocation_Adapter::Invocation_Adapter ( Invocation_Adapter const & ) [private]

Member Function Documentation

TAO::Collocation_Strategy TAO::Invocation_Adapter::collocation_strategy ( CORBA::Object_ptr object ) [private]

This method returns the right collocation strategy, if any, to be used to perform a method invocation on the given object.

Note:: No-Collocation is a special case of collocation.

TAO_Stub * TAO::Invocation_Adapter::get_stub ( void ) const [protected]

Helper method that extracts TAO_Stub from the target object.

bool TAO::Invocation_Adapter::get_timeout	(	TAO_Stub *	stub,
		ACE_Time_Value &	val
	)		`[protected]`

Helper function that extracts the roundtrip timeout policies set in the ORB.

void TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke	(	TAO::Exception_Data *	ex,
		unsigned long	ex_count
	)		`[virtual]`

Invoke the target, and used by the generated code.

The implementation decides whether the target is remote or collocated and takes the right decision.

Parameters:

ex	Array of exception data declared by the application in their IDL.
ex_count	Number of elements in the array.

Invocation_Status TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke_collocated_i	(	TAO_Stub *	stub,
		TAO_Operation_Details &	details,
		CORBA::Object_var &	effective_target,
		Collocation_Strategy	strat
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

Make a collocated call.

This method creates an object that takes care of making collocated invocations and calls invoke () on it. If the invoke () returns with a location forwarded reply we return a restart

Parameters:

stub	The stub object on which the invocation is made.
details	The operations details of the operation that is being invoked.

void TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke_i	(	TAO_Stub *	stub,
		TAO_Operation_Details &	details
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

The stub pointer passed to this call has all the details about the object to which the invocation needs to be routed to. The implementation of this method looks if we are collocated or not and takes care of reinvoking the target if it receives forwarding information or if the first invocation fails for some reason, like a loss of connection during send () etc.

Invocation_Status TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke_oneway	(	TAO_Operation_Details &	details,
		CORBA::Object_var &	effective_target,
		Profile_Transport_Resolver &	r,
		ACE_Time_Value *&	max_wait_time
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

Helper method to make a one way invocation.

This method creates a synchronous oneway invocation object to which the actual task of request handling is delegated. Once the invocation returns this method checks whether the request is forwarded to a new location to take appropriate action.

Invocation_Status TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke_remote_i	(	TAO_Stub *	stub,
		TAO_Operation_Details &	details,
		CORBA::Object_var &	effective_target,
		ACE_Time_Value *&	max_wait_time
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

Helper method that prepares the necessary stuff for a remote invocation. This method does the following essential activities needed for a remote invocation.

Extracts the roundtrip timeout policies set in the ORB or Object or at the thread level
Uses the target information to pick a profile and a transport object on which the invocation needs to be sent

Checks whether the operation is a oneway or twoway and delegates the call.

Invocation_Status TAO::Invocation_Adapter::invoke_twoway	(	TAO_Operation_Details &	details,
		CORBA::Object_var &	effective_target,
		Profile_Transport_Resolver &	r,
		ACE_Time_Value *&	max_wait_time
	)		`[protected, virtual]`

Helper method to make a two way invocation.

This method creates a synchronous twoway invocation object to which the actual task of request handling is delegated. Once the invocation returns this method checks whether the request is forwarded to a new location.

void TAO::Invocation_Adapter::object_forwarded	(	CORBA::Object_var &	effective_target,
		TAO_Stub *	stub,
		CORBA::Boolean	permanent_forward
	)		`[protected]`

Helper method that takes care of setting the profiles within the stub object if the target gets forwarded

Invocation_Adapter& TAO::Invocation_Adapter::operator= ( const Invocation_Adapter & ) [private]

void TAO::Invocation_Adapter::set_response_flags	(	TAO_Stub *	stub,
		TAO_Operation_Details &	details
	)		`[protected]`

Helper method to set the response flags within details.
