Detailed Description

This class manages the creation of TaskContext Corba Servers and a Corba Object Request Broker (Orb) which executes the servers.

The Orb may be run from the main thread or in its own thread.

Member Function Documentation

static ControlTaskServer* RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::Create	(	TaskContext *	tc,
		bool	use_naming = true
	)			[static]

Factory method: create a CORBA server for an existing TaskContext.

Parameters:

	tc	The TaskContext to serve.
	use_naming	Set to false in order not to use the Corba Naming Service.

Return values:

0

if the ORB is not initialised

Returns:

A new or previously created CORBA server for tc.

static ControlTask_ptr RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::CreateServer	(	TaskContext *	tc,
		bool	use_naming = true
	)			[static]

Factory method: create a CORBA server for an existing TaskContext.

Same as above, but immediately return the Corba object. Also checks if tc is ControlTaskProxy and returns the server of the proxy if so.

Parameters:

	tc	The TaskContext to serve.
	use_naming	Set to false in order not to use the Corba Naming Service.

Return values:

0

if the ORB is not initialised

Returns:

A new or previously created CORBA server for tc.

static void RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::RunOrb

(

)

[static]

Invoke this method to run the orb and accept client requests.

Use ShutdownOrb() to break out of this method.

ControlTask_ptr RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::server

(

)

const

Get the Corba Object of this ControlTask.

This object universally identifies the remote ControlTaskServer and can be used to tell other (remote) objects where to find it.

static void RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::ShutdownOrb

(

bool

wait_for_completion = true

)

[static]

Invoke this method once to shutdown the Orb which is running the task servers in RunOrb().

When this function returns, no CORBA invocations are in progress, unless wait_for_completion is false.

static void RTT::Corba::ControlTaskServer::ThreadOrb

(

)

[static]

Invoke this method to run the orb in a separate thread and accept client requests from that thread.

Use ShutdownOrb() to break out of this method.
