Detailed Description

PropertyServer is a wrap-up for server programs that implement the PropertyService Corba interface.

Programmers are completely unaware of the underlying Corba calls as they only need to implement to virtual methods.


Public Methods

 PropertyServer () throw (ORBException&)
 Initialize the internal corba wrapper using default values.

 PropertyServer (CORBA::ORB_ptr orb) throw (ORBException&)
 Initialize the internal corba wrapper with the given orb.

 PropertyServer (std::string host, std::string objectName) throw (ORBException&)
 Create a new PropertyServer and bind it to a name service at the given host with the given name.

virtual void setProperty (const util::List< std::string > &nameParts, util::Blob< char > value)=0 throw (PropertyException&)
 Set a property in the server.

virtual util::Blob< char > * getProperty (const util::List< std::string > &nameParts)=0 throw (PropertyException&)
 Get the value of a property in the server.

std::string getIor ()
 Get the current inter-operable object reference of this server.


Protected Methods

template<class T> void firePropertyChange (std::string propertyName, T &propertyValue) throw (util::io::IOException&, util::xml::XMLException&)
 Inform all registered listeners about a change in a property value.

class PropertyServerWrapper

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

propertyservice::PropertyServer::PropertyServer (  std::string    host,
std::string    objectName
)  throw (ORBException&)
 

Create a new PropertyServer and bind it to a name service at the given host with the given name.

Parameters:
host  a host name in the form myhost.com[:port]
objectName  the name of this server object. Assumes the form 'context/subcontext/name'.

Member Function Documentation

template<class T>
void propertyservice::PropertyServer::firePropertyChange (  std::string    propertyName,
T &    propertyValue
)  throw (util::io::IOException&, util::xml::XMLException&) [protected]
 

Inform all registered listeners about a change in a property value.

Parameters:
propertyName  the name of the property that changed
propertyValue  the new value of the property

virtual util::Blob<char>* propertyservice::PropertyServer::getProperty (  const util::List< std::string > &    nameParts )  throw (PropertyException&) [pure virtual]
 

Get the value of a property in the server.

The value is returned as an encoded Blob, which is most easily created using PropertyControl::encodeProperty(). The returned blob must point to a newly allocated memory segment that can be released using the delete operator.

Parameters:
nameParts  the name of the property whose value is to be fetched, split into parts using '.' as a field separator.
Returns:
the encoded property value

Implemented in MobileRobotServer.

virtual void propertyservice::PropertyServer::setProperty (  const util::List< std::string > &    nameParts,
util::Blob< char >    value
)  throw (PropertyException&) [pure virtual]
 

Set a property in the server.

This method is invoked each time a client invokes a Corba setProperty call.

Parameters:
nameParts  the name of the property whose value is to be set split into parts using '.' as a field separator.
value  the new property value encoded in a Blob. One may want to use the decodeProperty method found in PropertyControl to get a decoded property value.

Implemented in MobileRobotServer.
