Detailed Description

Implementation of Hpp module Corba server.

This class initializes the Corba server and starts the following Corba interface implementations.

• hpp::Robot: to build a model::Device and to insert it in a core::ProblemSolver object,
• hpp::Obstacle: to build obstacles and insert them in a core::ProblemSolver object,
• hpp::Problem: to define a path planning problem and solve it. To use this object, call the constructor

  int argc=1;
  char *argv[1] = {"program"};
  core::ProblemSolverPtr_t problemSolver = new core::ProblemSolver;
  Server server(problemSolver, argc, argv, isMultiThread);

  where isMultiThread specifies whether the server should process requests using multi-thread policy of not. After starting a name server and configuring your Corba implementation, start the servers.

  server.startCorbaServer();

  Then, enter in the loop that handle the Corba requests

  server.processRequest(true);

  You can then send request to the servers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

graphics::corbaServer::Server::Server	(	WindowsManagerPtr_t	windowsManager,
		int	argc,
		const char *	argv[],
		bool	multiThread = false
	)

Constructor.

Parameters

the	object that handles CORBA requests.
argc,argv	parameter to feed ORB initialization.
multiThread	whether the server may process request using multithred policy.

Note

It is recommended to configure your Corba implementation through environment variables and to set argc to 1 and argv to any string.

It is highly recommended not to enable multi-thread policy in CORBA request processing if this library is run from an openGL based GUI, since OpenGL does not support multithreading.

graphics::corbaServer::Server::~Server

(

)

Shutdown CORBA server.

Member Function Documentation

int graphics::corbaServer::Server::processRequest

(

bool

loop

)

If ORB work is pending, process it.

Parameters

loop	if true, the function never returns, if false, the function processes pending requests and returns.

void graphics::corbaServer::Server::startCorbaServer

(

)

Initialize CORBA server to process requests from clients.

Returns

0 if success, -1 if failure.
