Public Member Functions | |
ALModule (boost::shared_ptr< ALBroker > pBroker, const std::string &pName) | |
Creates an ALModule. | |
virtual | ~ALModule () |
Destructor. | |
virtual std::string | httpGet () |
Called by the broker webpage to detail the module. This can be overriden to provide information specific to your module. The default is an empty page. | |
virtual void | stop (const int &id) |
Stops a module's method using the ID given returned by a 'post' call. Module authors are encouraged to implement this if they have long running methods that they wish to allow users to interrupt. | |
bool | isStopRequired (const int &id=-1) |
Check if the user call stop. | |
bool | wait (const int &id, const int &timeout) |
Waits until the end of a long running method using the ID that was returned from a method started with 'post'. | |
bool | isRunning (const int &id) |
Determines if the method created with a 'post' is still running. | |
int | getMethodID (void) |
Return unique ID if method call. | |
bool | isPCalled () |
Check if the module is pcalled. | |
virtual void | exit () |
Exit the module and unregister it. | |
QI_API_DEPRECATED void | functionStop (int pIDTask) |
deprecated | |
virtual void | init (void) |
It will be called at every module creation, user can overload it. | |

ALModule can be used as a base class for user modules to help serve and advertise their methods.
Each module advertises the methods that it wishes to make available to clients participating in the network to a broker within the same process.
The broker then transparently handles directory services so that clients need not know if the module that provides a service is in the same process, on the same machine, or on the same tcp network.
Within the same process, direct method calls are used to provide optimal speed without having to change your method signatures.
Clients exist in a growing number of languages including c++, Python, .Net, Java and Matlab.

AL::ALModule::ALModule | ( | boost::shared_ptr< ALBroker > | pBroker, |
const std::string & | pName | ||
) |
Creates an ALModule.
An ALModule has a name, and is registered in a broker, so that its methods can be called by other modules, via a proxy constructed with module's name.
pBroker | Pointer to a broker |
pName | The name for the new module. This is used as the prefix for all method calls e.g. MyModule.myMethod() |
static boost::shared_ptr<T> AL::ALModule::createModule | ( | boost::shared_ptr< ALBroker > | pBroker | ) | [inline, static] |
Create a module and link it to a broker.
pBroker | Pointer to the broker |

static boost::shared_ptr<T> AL::ALModule::createModule | ( | boost::shared_ptr< ALBroker > | pBroker, |
P1 | p1 | ||
) | [inline, static] |
Create a module and link it to a broker.
pBroker | Pointer to the broker |
p1 | first parameter after pBroker for the module's constructor |

QI_API_DEPRECATED void AL::ALModule::functionStop | ( | int | pIDTask | ) |
deprecated
Find the the right module corresponding to the task and call the stop method. Use ProxyModule.stop(...) for remote/local compatibility
pIDTask | task's ID |
Reimplemented from AL::ALModuleCore.
int AL::ALModule::getMethodID | ( | void | ) |
Return unique ID if method call.
Useful to check for instance if user asked your method to stop. First get ID with getMethodID, then call isRequireStop
virtual std::string AL::ALModule::httpGet | ( | ) | [virtual] |
Called by the broker webpage to detail the module. This can be overriden to provide information specific to your module. The default is an empty page.
Reimplemented from AL::ALModuleCore.
bool AL::ALModule::isPCalled | ( | ) |
Check if the module is pcalled.
bool AL::ALModule::isRunning | ( | const int & | id | ) |
Determines if the method created with a 'post' is still running.
id | The id of the method that was returned by 'post' |
bool AL::ALModule::isStopRequired | ( | const int & | id = -1 | ) |
Check if the user call stop.
The | id of the method that was returned by 'post' |
virtual void AL::ALModule::stop | ( | const int & | id | ) | [virtual] |
Stops a module's method using the ID given returned by a 'post' call. Module authors are encouraged to implement this if they have long running methods that they wish to allow users to interrupt.
id | The id of the method that was returned by 'post' |
bool AL::ALModule::wait | ( | const int & | id, |
const int & | timeout | ||
) |
Waits until the end of a long running method using the ID that was returned from a method started with 'post'.
The | id of the method that was returned by 'post' |
timeout | The wait timeout period in ms. If 0 wait indefinately. |
