Detailed Description

An object that expresses you wish to use a service. The ServiceRequester is symmetrical to the Service. Where a Service registers operations that a component can execute ('provides'), the ServiceRequester registers the methods that a caller wishes to call ('requires'). One method in a ServiceRequester maps to one operation in a Service.

Typical use is to inherit from ServiceRequester and add named OperationCaller objects to it using addOperationCaller.

Member Function Documentation

bool RTT::ServiceRequester::addOperationCaller

(

base::OperationCallerBaseInvoker &

mbi

)

Definition at line 63 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

bool RTT::ServiceRequester::addServiceRequester

(

ServiceRequester::shared_ptr

obj

)

Add a new ServiceRequester to this TaskContext.

Parameters

obj	This object becomes owned by this TaskContext.

Returns

true if it could be added, false if such service requester already exists.

Definition at line 126 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

void RTT::ServiceRequester::clear ( )

virtual

Remove all operation callers from this service requester.

Definition at line 189 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

bool RTT::ServiceRequester::connectTo ( Service::shared_ptr  sp )

virtual

Connects this service's methods to the operations provided by op. This method tries to match as many as possible method-operation pairs.

You may call this function with different instances of sp to 'resolve' missing functions, only the non-connected methods will be further filled in.

Parameters

sp	An interface-compatible Service.

Returns

true if all methods of that are required are provided, false if not all methods could yet be matched.

Definition at line 140 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

void RTT::ServiceRequester::disconnect ( )

virtual

Disconnects all methods from their implementation.

Definition at line 172 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

const

Definition at line 74 of file ServiceRequester.cpp.

Service::shared_ptr RTT::ServiceRequester::getReferencedService ( )

inline

Returns the service we're referencing. In case you used connectTo to more than one service, this returns the service which was used when connectTo first returned true.

inline

Definition at line 98 of file ServiceRequester.hpp.

TaskContext* RTT::ServiceRequester::getServiceOwner ( ) const

inline

The owner is the top-level TaskContext owning this service (indirectly).

Definition at line 106 of file ServiceRequester.hpp.

bool RTT::ServiceRequester::ready ( ) const

virtual

Returns true when all methods were resolved.

Returns
