Detailed Description

PVA Server Providers, for use with a PVA epics::pvAccess::ServerContext.

These are implementations of epics::pvAccess::ChannelProvider which manage "PVs", which are sources of epics::pvAccess::Channel instances. Typically SharedPV .

Two containers are provided StaticProvider, and for some special cases DynamicProvider. It is recommended to use StaticProvider where possible, with DynamicProvider for exception cases.

A StaticProvider maintains an internal lookup table of StaticProvider::ChannelBuilder (aka. SharedPV). This table is manipulated by StaticProvider::add() and StaticProvider::remove(), which can be called at any time.

A DynamicProvider does not maintain an internal lookup table. Instead it provides the DynamicProvider::Handler interface, through which remote search and connection requests are delivered.

See Server Mailbox Example for a working example.

namespace pva = epics::pvAccess;
pvas::SharedPV::shared_pointer pv(pvas::SharedPV::buildMailbox());
pvas::StaticProvider sprov("arbitrary");
pva::ServerContext::shared_pointer server(
pva::ServerContext::create(
pva::ServerContext::Config() .provider(sprov.provider()) ));
sprov->add("pv:name", pv);

Server API shared_ptr Ownership

shared_ptr<> relationships internal to server API classes. Solid red lines are shared_ptr<>. Dashed red lines are shared_ptr<> which may exist safely in user code. Rectangles are public API classes. Circles are internal classes. "ChannelProvider" is an arbitrary ChannelProvider, possibly StaticProvider or DynamicProvider.

Function Documentation

static shared_pointer pvas::SharedPV::build ( const std::tr1::shared_ptr< Handler > &  handler,
Config *  conf = 0 
)
static

Allocate a new PV in the closed state.

Parameters
handlerOur callbacks. May be NULL. Stored internally as a shared_ptr<>
confOptional. Extra configuration. If !NULL, will be modified to reflect configuration actually used.
Postcondition
In the closed state
std::tr1::shared_ptr<epics::pvData::PVStructure> pvas::SharedPV::build ( )

Create a new container which may be used to prepare to call post().

This container will be owned exclusively by the caller.

void pvas::SharedPV::close ( bool  destroy = false)
inline

Force any clients to disconnect, and prevent re-connection.

Parameters
destroyIndicate whether this close() is permanent for clients. If destroy=false, the internal client list is retained, and these clients will see a subsequent open(). If destory=true, the internal client list is cleared.
Postcondition
In the closed state
Note
Provider locking rules apply (
See Also
provider_roles_requester_locking).

close() is not final, even with destroy=true new clients may begin connecting, and open() may be called again. A final close() should be performed after the removal from StaticProvider/DynamicProvider which will prevent new clients.

virtual std::tr1::shared_ptr<epics::pvAccess::Channel> pvas::SharedPV::connect ( const std::tr1::shared_ptr< epics::pvAccess::ChannelProvider > &  provider,
const std::string channelName,
const std::tr1::shared_ptr< epics::pvAccess::ChannelRequester > &  requester 
)
virtual

may call Handler::onFirstConnect()

Note
Provider locking rules apply (
See Also
provider_roles_requester_locking).

Implements pvas::StaticProvider::ChannelBuilder.

virtual void pvas::SharedPV::disconnect ( bool  destroy,
const epics::pvAccess::ChannelProvider provider 
)
virtual

Disconnect all Channels created through the given ChannelProvider.

destroy==true if the ChannelProvider is shutting down.

Implements pvas::StaticProvider::ChannelBuilder.

void pvas::SharedPV::open ( const epics::pvData::PVStructure &  value)

Shorthand for.

open(value, pvd::BitSet().set(0))
void pvas::SharedPV::open ( const epics::pvData::PVStructure &  value,
const epics::pvData::BitSet &  valid 
)

Begin allowing clients to connect.

Parameters
valueThe initial value of this PV. (any pending Get/Monitor operation will complete with this)
validOnly these marked fields are considered to have non-default values.
Exceptions
std::logic_errorif not in the closed state.
Postcondition
In the opened state
Note
Provider locking rules apply (
See Also
provider_roles_requester_locking).
void pvas::SharedPV::open ( const epics::pvData::StructureConstPtr &  type)

Shorthand for.

open(*pvd::getPVDataCreate()->createPVStructure(type), pvd::BitSet().set(0))
const epics::pvAccess::PeerInfo* pvas::Operation::peer ( ) const

Information about peer transport and authentication.

Returns
May be NULL if no information is available
void pvas::SharedPV::post ( const epics::pvData::PVStructure &  value,
const epics::pvData::BitSet &  changed 
)

Update the cached PVStructure in this SharedPV.

Only those fields marked as changed will be copied in. Makes a light-weight copy.

Precondition
isOpen()==true
Exceptions
std::logic_errorif !isOpen()
Note
Provider locking rules apply (
See Also
provider_roles_requester_locking).
