Detailed Description

A top-level container of connections, sessions, and links.

A container gives a unique identity to each communicating peer. It is often a process-level object.

It also serves as an entry point to the API, allowing connections, senders, and receivers to be established. It can be supplied with an event handler in order to intercept important messaging events, such as newly received messages or newly issued credit for sending messages.

Examples
broker.cpp, client.cpp, direct_recv.cpp, direct_send.cpp, helloworld.cpp, multithreaded_client.cpp, multithreaded_client_flow_control.cpp, scheduled_send.cpp, scheduled_send_03.cpp, server.cpp, server_direct.cpp, service_bus.cpp, simple_recv.cpp, and simple_send.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ container() [1/4]

container ( messaging_handler handler,
const std::string &  id 
)

Create a container with a global handler for messaging events.

Thread safety - in a multi-threaded container this handler will be called concurrently. You can use locks to make that safe, or use a separate handler for each connection. See Multithreading.

Parameters
handlerglobal handler, called for events on all connections managed by the container.
idsets the container's unique identity.

◆ container() [2/4]

container ( messaging_handler handler)

Create a container with a global handler for messaging events.

Thread safety - in a multi-threaded container this handler will be called concurrently. You can use locks to make that safe, or use a separate handler for each connection. See Multithreading.

Parameters
handlerglobal handler, called for events on all connections managed by the container.

◆ container() [3/4]

container ( const std::string &  id)

Create a container.

Parameters
idsets the container's unique identity.

◆ container() [4/4]

container ( )

Create a container.

This will create a default random identity

◆ ~container()

~container ( )

Destroy a container.

A container must not be destroyed while a call to run() is in progress, in particular it must not be destroyed from a messaging_handler callback.

Thread safety - in a multi-threaded application, run() must return in all threads that call it before destroying the container.

Member Function Documentation

◆ connect() [1/3]

returned<connection> connect ( const std::string &  conn_url,
const connection_options conn_opts 
)

Connect to conn_url and send an open request to the remote peer.

Options are applied to the connection as follows.

  1. client_connection_options()
  2. Options passed to connect()

Values in later options override earlier ones. The handler in the composed options is used to call messaging_handler::on_connection_open() when the open response is received from the remote peer.

Thread safety - Container method return values are thread-unsafe. A single-threaded application can safely assign the returned<T> value to a plain T. A multithreaded application must ignore the returned value because it may already be invalid by the time the function returns. Multithreaded applications can safely access the value inside messaging_handler functions.

Examples
helloworld.cpp, multithreaded_client.cpp, server.cpp, and service_bus.cpp.

◆ connect() [2/3]

returned<connection> connect ( const std::string &  conn_url)

Connect using the default Connection Configuration file.

Thread safety - Container method return values are thread-unsafe. A single-threaded application can safely assign the returned<T> value to a plain T. A multithreaded application must ignore the returned value because it may already be invalid by the time the function returns. Multithreaded applications can safely access the value inside messaging_handler functions.

◆ connect() [3/3]

returned<connection> connect ( )

Connect using the default Connection Configuration file.

Thread safety - Container method return values are thread-unsafe. A single-threaded application can safely assign the returned<T> value to a plain T. A multithreaded application must ignore the returned value because it may already be invalid by the time the function returns. Multithreaded applications can safely access the value inside messaging_handler functions.

◆ listen() [1/3]

listener listen ( const std::string &  listen_url,
listen_handler handler 
)

Listen for new connections on listen_url.

If the listener opens successfully, listen_handler::on_open() is called. If it fails to open, listen_handler::on_error() then listen_handler::close() are called.

listen_handler::on_accept() is called for each incoming connection to determine the connection_options to use, including the messaging_handler.

Thread safety - Calls to listen_handler methods are serialized for this listener, but handlers attached to separate listeners may be called concurrently.

Examples
broker.cpp, direct_recv.cpp, direct_send.cpp, and server_direct.cpp.

◆ listen() [2/3]

listener listen ( const std::string &  listen_url,
const connection_options conn_opts 
)

Listen for new connections on listen_url.

Use a fixed set of options for all accepted connections. See listen(const std::string&, listen_handler&).

Thread safety - for multi-threaded applications we recommend using a listen_handler to create a new messaging_handler for each connection. See listen(const std::string&, listen_handler&) and Multithreading

◆ listen() [3/3]

listener listen ( const std::string &  listen_url)

Listen for new connections on listen_url.

New connections will use the handler from server_connection_options(). See listen(const std::string&, const connection_options&);

◆ run() [1/2]

void run ( )

Run the container in the current thread.

The call returns when the container stops. See auto_stop() and stop().

C++ versions - With C++11 or later, you can call run() in multiple threads to create a thread pool. See also run(int count).

Examples
broker.cpp, client.cpp, direct_recv.cpp, direct_send.cpp, helloworld.cpp, multithreaded_client_flow_control.cpp, scheduled_send.cpp, scheduled_send_03.cpp, server.cpp, server_direct.cpp, service_bus.cpp, simple_recv.cpp, and simple_send.cpp.

◆ run() [2/2]

void run ( int  count)

Run the container with a pool of count threads, including the current thread.

C++ versions - Available with C++11 or later.

The call returns when the container stops. See auto_stop() and stop().

◆ auto_stop()

void auto_stop ( bool  enabled)

Enable or disable automatic container stop.

It is enabled by default.

If true, the container stops when all active connections and listeners are closed. If false, the container keeps running until stop() is called.

◆ stop() [1/2]

void stop ( const error_condition err)

Stop the container with error condition err.

This function initiates shutdown and immediately returns. The shutdown process has the following steps.

When the process is complete, run() returns in all threads.

Thread safety - It is safe to call this method in any thread.

◆ stop() [2/2]

void stop ( )

Stop the container with an empty error condition.

This function initiates shutdown and immediately returns. The shutdown process has the following steps.

When the process is complete, run() returns in all threads.

Thread safety - It is safe to call this method in any thread.

◆ open_sender() [1/4]

returned<sender> open_sender ( const std::string &  addr_url)

Open a connection and sender for addr_url.

Thread safety - Container method return values are thread-unsafe. A single-threaded application can safely assign the returned<T> value to a plain T. A multithreaded application must ignore the returned value because it may already be invalid by the time the function returns. Multithreaded applications can safely access the value inside messaging_handler functions.

Examples
client.cpp, multithreaded_client_flow_control.cpp, scheduled_send.cpp, scheduled_send_03.cpp, service_bus.cpp, and simple_send.cpp.
