Detailed Description

Base class for codec plug-ins.

Implementors may derive directly from this class, providing an implementation of its abstract methods to provide any required transformation of Message objects as they are sent towards the transport or host side. For many codecs, inheriting from AbstractSimpleCodec may be more convenient than using this class directly, as it deals with batching of messages and ignoring messages with null payloads.

To export a codec class for use in the host you should use the SAG_DECLARE_CONNECTIVITY_CODEC_CLASS(Class) macro, and provide a public constructor with the same signature as AbstractCodec(const PluginConstructorParameters::CodecConstructorParameters &).

The deprecated legacy constructor AbstractCodec(const std::string &name, const std::string &chainId, const map_t &config) and SAG_DECLARE_CONNECTIVITY_CODEC(Class) macro are still permitted as an alternative but should not be used for new plug-ins.

MapHelper can be used to extract the content of the message.

Derives from Plugin, which provides Plugin::pluginName, Plugin::chainId, Plugin::config and Plugin::logger members. Derives from HostSide, requiring derived classes to implement sendBatchTowardsHost(Message*, Message*) Derives from TransportSide, requiring derived classes to implement sendBatchTowardsTransport(Message*, Message*)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractCodec::AbstractCodec	(	const std::string &	pluginName,
		const std::string &	chainId,
		const map_t &	config
	)

inline

Legacy constructor [DEPRECATED].

Deprecated:: This can only be used with the legacy macro SAG_DECLARE_CONNECTIVITY_CODEC(Class) and is deprecated. Please use the alternative constructor signature AbstractCodec(const PluginConstructorParameters::CodecConstructorParameters &) instead for new plug-ins that use the SAG_DECLARE_CONNECTIVITY_CODEC_CLASS(Class) macro.

A plug-in should throw an exception from the constructor if there is a problem with the configuration or any other error that will prevent the plug-in from working correctly.

Parameters

pluginName	The name used in the configuration file for this plug-in.
chainId	The identifier used for the chain this plug-in is part of.
config	The configuration for this plug-in.

com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractCodec::AbstractCodec ( const PluginConstructorParameters::CodecConstructorParameters & params )

inline

Constructor.

A subclass should provide its own constructor with the same signature as this one.

A plug-in should throw an exception from the constructor if there is a problem with the configuration or any other error that will prevent the plug-in from working correctly.

Parameters

params Provides access to the configuration for this plug-in, and other capabilities.

Since: 9.12.0.1

This field will be given a valid value before the start() method is called.

TransportSide::ptr_t com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractCodec::transportSide

protected

The next plug-in in the chain towards transport.

This field will be given a valid value before the start() method is called.
