Detailed Description

A helper class to handle callbacks when messages arrive.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CallbackHelper ( bool  _latching = false)

Constructor.

Parameters
[in]_latchingSet to true to make the callback helper latching.
virtual ~CallbackHelper ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

unsigned int GetId ( ) const

Get the unique ID of this callback.

Returns
The unique ID of this callback.
bool GetLatching ( ) const

Is the callback latching?

Returns
true if the callback is latching, false otherwise
virtual std::string GetMsgType ( ) const
virtual

Get the typename of the message that is handled.

Returns
String representation of the message type

Reimplemented in RawCallbackHelper, and CallbackHelperT< M >.

virtual bool HandleData ( const std::string &  _newdata,
boost::function< void(uint32_t)>  _cb,
uint32_t  _id 
)
pure virtual

Process new incoming data.

Parameters
[in]_newdataIncoming data to be processed
Returns
true if successfully processed; false otherwise
Parameters
[in]_cbIf non-null, callback to be invoked which signals that transmission is complete.
[in]_idID associated with the message data.

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

virtual bool HandleMessage ( MessagePtr  _newMsg)
pure virtual

Process new incoming message.

Parameters
[in]_newMsgIncoming message to be processed
Returns
true if successfully processed; false otherwise

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

virtual bool IsLocal ( ) const
pure virtual

Is the callback local?

Returns
true if the callback is local, false if the callback is tied to a remote connection

Implemented in RawCallbackHelper, CallbackHelperT< M >, and SubscriptionTransport.

void SetLatching ( bool  _latch)

Set whether this callback is latching.

This function should only be used by the Transport library.

Parameters
[in]_latchFalse to turn off latching.
