Class RequestCorrelator
RspCollector
is looked up (key = id) and its
method receiveResponse()
invoked. A caller may use
done()
to signal that no more responses are expected, and that
the corresponding entry may be removed.
RequestCorrelator
can be installed at both client and server
sides, it can also switch roles dynamically; i.e., send a request and at
the same time process an incoming request (when local delivery is enabled,
this is actually the default).

Field Details
-
transport
The protocol layer to use to pass up/down messages. Can be either a Protocol or a Transport -
requests
The table of pending requests (keys=Long (request IDs), values=RequestEntry) -
request_handler
The handler for the incoming requests. It is called from inside the dispatcher thread -
marshaller
Possibility for an external marshaller to marshal/unmarshal responses -
name
makes the instance unique (together with IDs) -
scheduler
The dispatching thread pool -
local_addr
The address of this group member -
call_stack
This field is used only if deadlock detection is enabled. In case of nested synchronous requests, it holds a list of the addreses of the senders with the address at the bottom being the address of the first caller -
deadlock_detection
protected boolean deadlock_detectionWhether or not to perform deadlock detection for synchronous (potentially recursive) group method invocations. If on, we use a scheduler (handling a priority queue), otherwise we don't and call handleRequest() directly. -
concurrent_processing
protected boolean concurrent_processingProcess items on the queue concurrently (Scheduler). The default is to wait until the processing of an item has completed before fetching the next item from the queue. Note that setting this to true may destroy the properties of a protocol stack, e.g total or causal order may not be guaranteed. Set this to true only if you know what you're doing ! -

RequestCorrelator
Constructor. Uses transport to send messages. Ifhandler
is not null, all incoming requests will be dispatched to it (viahandle(Message)
).- Parameters:
name
- Used to differentiate between different RequestCorrelators (e.g. in different protocol layers). Has to be unique if multiple request correlators are used.transport
- Used to send/pass up requests. Can be either a Transport (only send() will be used then), or a Protocol (up_prot.up()/down_prot.down() will be used)handler
- Request handler. Methodhandle(Message)
will be called when a request is received.

RequestCorrelator
public RequestCorrelator(String name, Object transport, RequestHandler handler, boolean deadlock_detection) Constructor. Uses transport to send messages. Ifhandler
is not null, all incoming requests will be dispatched to it (viahandle(Message)
).- Parameters:
name
- Used to differentiate between different RequestCorrelators (e.g. in different protocol layers). Has to be unique if multiple request correlators are used.transport
- Used to send/pass up requests. Can be either a Transport (only send() will be used then), or a Protocol (up_prot.up()/down_prot.down() will be used)handler
- Request handler. Methodhandle(Message)
will be called when a request is received.deadlock_detection
- When enabled (true) recursive synchronous message calls will be detected and processed with higher priority in order to solve deadlocks. Slows down processing a little bit when enabled due to runtime checks involved.

- the deadlock detection flag

Exception
-
sendRequest
public void sendRequest(long id, List<Address> dest_mbrs, Message msg, RspCollector coll, boolean use_anycasting) throws Exception Send a request to a group. If no response collector is given, no responses are expected (making the call asynchronous).- Parameters:
id
- The request ID. Must be unique for this JVM (e.g. current time in millisecs)dest_mbrs
- The list of members who should receive the call. Usually a group RPC is sent via multicast, but a receiver drops the request if its own address is not in this list. Will not be used if it is null.msg
- The request to be sent. The body of the message carries the request datacoll
- A response collector (usually the object that invokes this method). Its methodsreceiveResponse()
andsuspect()
will be invoked when a message has been received or a member is suspected, respectively.- Throws:
Exception
-
done
public void done(long id) Used to signal that a certain request may be garbage collected as all responses have been received. -
receive
Callback.Called by the protocol below when a message has been received. The algorithm should test whether the message is destined for us and, if not, pass it up to the next layer. Otherwise, it should remove the header and check whether the message is a request or response. In the first case, the message will be delivered to the request handler registered (calling its
handle()
method), in the second case, the corresponding response collector is looked up and the message delivered.- Parameters:
evt
- The event to be received- Returns:
- Whether or not the event was consumed. If true, don't pass message up, else pass it up
-
start
public final void start() -
stop
public void stop() -
registerProbeHandler
-
unregisterProbeHandler
-
receiveSuspect
Event.SUSPECT event received from a layer below.All response collectors currently registered will be notified that
mbr
may have crashed, so they won't wait for its response. -
receiveView
Event.VIEW_CHANGE event received from a layer below.Mark all responses from members that are not in new_view as NOT_RECEIVED.
-
receiveMessage
Handles a message coming from a layer below- Returns:
- true if the message was consumed, don't pass it further up, else false
-
getLocalAddress
-
setLocalAddress
-
handleRequest
Handle a request msg for this correlator- Parameters:
req
- the request msg
-
