Base class for transport plug-ins.
Implementors may derive directly from this class if you need to handle messages in batches, typically by providing an implementation of sendBatchTowardsTransport(Message*,Message*), and in the other direction sending messages towards the host from a background thread created by the start() method. Messages are delivered to or from this class in batches, which transports may be able to make use of to deliver many messages in a single operation, amortizing the cost of delivering messages. The division into batches is of no significance beyond them all being available for delivery within a short space of time - a transport should function the same if given the messages individually or in batches.
For many transport plug-ins, inheriting from AbstractSimpleTransport may be more convenient than using this class directly, as it deals with batching of messages automatically.
To export a transport class for use in the host you should use the SAG_DECLARE_CONNECTIVITY_TRANSPORT_CLASS(Class) macro, and provide a public constructor with the same signature as AbstractTransport(const PluginConstructorParameters::TransportConstructorParameters ¶ms)
Derives from Plugin, which provides Plugin::pluginName, Plugin::chainId, Plugin::config and Plugin::logger members. Derives from TransportSide, requiring derived classes to implement sendBatchTowardsTransport(Message*, Message*)
Note: Some transports may need to respond to every message received from the host with a corresponding reply back towards the host. This has to be done carefully; if the implementation of TransportSide.sendBatchTowardsTransport() contains a simple synchronous call back to HostSide.sendBatchTowardsHost(), this has the potential to cause a deadlock in the host application, depending on the disposition of internal queues. Transports needing to follow this pattern should generate their responses on a distinct thread, not the thread that processes the message(s) from the host.

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.
| params | Provides access to the configuration for this plug-in, and other capabilities. |
|
protected |
The next plug-in in the chain towards host.
This field will be given a valid value before the start() method is called.
