Detailed Description

Base class that simplifies implementation of codec plug-ins that deal only with individual messages not batches, and ignore 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 AbstractSimpleCodec(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.

Handles batches of messages and ignoring null payload messages (by default). Implementors will typically subclass this class, providing an implementation of the transformMessageTowardsHost(Message&) and transformMessageTowardsTransport(Message&) methods.

If you don't need to handle messages a batch at a time, then you should derive from this class. If you do then you should directly derive from AbstractCodec.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::AbstractSimpleCodec	(	const std::string &	name,
		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 AbstractSimpleCodec(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::AbstractSimpleCodec::AbstractSimpleCodec ( 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

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::handleException	(	Message &	m,
		bool	towardsTransport
	)

inlinevirtual

Handle an exception thrown while delivering a message.

Default is to log a warning and discard a message.

This is called from within a catch block, so if you need to know the exception thrown then you can rethrow it yourself:

try {
        throw;
} catch (const type &ex) { ...
}

Parameters

m	The Message that caused the error is passed in by reference.
towardsTransport	set to true if it was transformMessageTowardsTransport that threw or false if it was transformMessageTowardsHost that threw

Returns: If you wish to fix the message and then continue passing it on then return true, if it should be discarded then should return false

virtual void com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::sendBatchTowardsHost	(	Message *	start,
		Message *	end
	)

inlinevirtual

Implements batch sending, calling transformMessageTowardsHost(Message &) for each message individually.

Exceptions from transformMessageTowardsHost are caught and handleException(Message &, bool) is called (the default implementation is to log a warning and discard the event) If handleException or transformMessageTowardsHost returns false then that event is removed, but processing continues for the next message.

Implements com::softwareag::connectivity::HostSide.

virtual void com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::sendBatchTowardsTransport	(	Message *	start,
		Message *	end
	)

inlinevirtual

Implements batch sending, calling transformMessageTowardsTransport(Message &) for each message individually.

Exceptions from transformMessageTowardsTransport are caught and handleException(Message &, bool) is called (the default implementation is to log a warning and discard the event). If handleException or transformMessageTowardsTransport returns false then that event is removed, but processing continues for the next message.

Implements com::softwareag::connectivity::TransportSide.

virtual bool com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::transformMessageTowardsHost ( Message & msg )

pure virtual

Abstract method that must be implemented to handle transformation of an individual message.

in a host-wards direction

Returns: true to keep the message and false (or throw) to delete it

virtual bool com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::transformMessageTowardsTransport ( Message & msg )

pure virtual

Abstract method that must be implemented to handle transformation of an individual message in a transport-wards direction.

Returns: true to keep the message and false (or throw) to delete it

virtual bool com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::transformNullPayloadTowardsHost ( Message & msg )

inlinevirtual

Transform a message with a null payload in a host-wards direction.

default is to do nothing

Returns: true to keep the message and false (or throw) to delete it

virtual bool com::softwareag::connectivity::AbstractSimpleCodec::transformNullPayloadTowardsTransport ( Message & msg )

inlinevirtual

Transform a message with a null payload in a transport-wards direction.

default is to do nothing

Returns: true to keep the message and false (or throw) to delete it
