Detailed Description

Application Process Interface.

DProcessBase is an abstract class represents the primary "application" level object in a "managed" asynchronous application. It provides a uniform interface such that a managing layer can construct, initialize, and start the application's event loop. The event processing is centered around the use of isc::asiolink::io_service. The io_service is shared between the managing layer and the DProcessBase. This allows management layer IO such as directives to be sensed and handled, as well as processing IO activity specific to the application. In terms of management layer IO, there are methods shutdown, configuration updates, and commands unique to the application.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

isc::process::DProcessBase::DProcessBase	(	const char *	app_name,
		asiolink::IOServicePtr	io_service,
		DCfgMgrBasePtr	cfg_mgr
	)

inline

Constructor.

Parameters

app_name	is a text label for the process. Generally used in log statements, but otherwise arbitrary.
io_service	is the io_service used by the caller for asynchronous event handling.
cfg_mgr	the configuration manager instance that handles configuration parsing.

Exceptions

DProcessBaseError is io_service is NULL.

Member Function Documentation

virtual isc::data::ConstElementPtr isc::process::DProcessBase::configure	(	isc::data::ConstElementPtr	config_set,
		bool	check_only = `false`
	)

pure virtual

Processes the given configuration.

This method may be called multiple times during the process lifetime. Certainly once during process startup, and possibly later if the user alters configuration. This method must not throw, it should catch any processing errors and return a success or failure answer as described below. On success the last commit timestamp must be updated.

Parameters

config_set	a new configuration (JSON) for the process
check_only	true if configuration is to be verified only, not applied

Returns: an Element that contains the results of configuration composed of an integer status value (0 means successful, non-zero means failure), and a string explanation of the outcome.

Implemented in isc::d2::D2Process, isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess, and isc::netconf::NetconfProcess.

const std::string isc::process::DProcessBase::getAppName ( ) const

inline

Fetches the application name.

Returns: application name string.

Definition at line 173 of file d_process.h.

DCfgMgrBasePtr& isc::process::DProcessBase::getCfgMgr ( )

inline

Fetches the process's configuration manager.

Returns: a reference to the configuration manager.

asiolink::IOServicePtr& isc::process::DProcessBase::getIoService ( )

inline

Fetches the controller's IOService.

Returns: a reference to the controller's IOService.

Definition at line 180 of file d_process.h.

Referenced by isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess::configure(), isc::d2::D2Process::configure(), isc::d2::D2Process::D2Process(), isc::d2::D2Process::init(), isc::netconf::NetconfProcess::run(), and isc::d2::D2Process::runIO().

virtual void isc::process::DProcessBase::init ( )

pure virtual

May be used after instantiation to perform initialization unique to application.

It must be invoked prior to invoking run. This would likely include the creation of additional IO sources and their integration into the io_service.

Exceptions

DProcessBaseError if the initialization fails.

Implemented in isc::d2::D2Process, isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess, and isc::netconf::NetconfProcess.

virtual void isc::process::DProcessBase::run ( )

pure virtual

Implements the process's event loop.

In its simplest form it would an invocation io_service_->run(). This method should not exit until the process itself is exiting due to a request to shutdown or some anomaly is forcing an exit.

Exceptions

DProcessBaseError if an operational error is encountered.

Implemented in isc::d2::D2Process, isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess, and isc::netconf::NetconfProcess.

void isc::process::DProcessBase::setShutdownFlag ( bool value )

inline

Sets the process shut down flag to the given value.

Parameters

value is the new value to assign the flag.

Definition at line 166 of file d_process.h.

Referenced by isc::netconf::NetconfProcess::shutdown(), isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess::shutdown(), and isc::d2::D2Process::shutdown().

bool isc::process::DProcessBase::shouldShutdown ( ) const

inline

Checks if the process has been instructed to shut down.

Returns: true if process shutdown flag is true.

Definition at line 159 of file d_process.h.

Referenced by isc::d2::D2Process::canShutdown(), isc::d2::D2Process::checkQueueStatus(), isc::netconf::NetconfProcess::run(), and isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess::run().

virtual isc::data::ConstElementPtr isc::process::DProcessBase::shutdown ( isc::data::ConstElementPtr args )

pure virtual

Initiates the process's shutdown process.

This is last step in the shutdown event callback chain, that is intended to notify the process it is to begin its shutdown process.

Parameters

args	an Element set of shutdown arguments (if any) that are supported by the process derivation.

Returns: an Element that contains the results of argument processing, consisting of an integer status value (0 means successful, non-zero means failure), and a string explanation of the outcome.

Exceptions

DProcessBaseError if an operational error is encountered.

Implemented in isc::d2::D2Process, isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess, and isc::netconf::NetconfProcess.

void isc::process::DProcessBase::stopIOService ( )

inline

Convenience method for stopping IOservice processing.

Invoking this will cause the process to exit any blocking IOService method such as run(). No further IO events will be processed.

Definition at line 188 of file d_process.h.

Referenced by isc::netconf::NetconfProcess::run(), and isc::agent::CtrlAgentProcess::run().
