class SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider

Field Detail

const_OBJECT_NAME_DELIMITER

<static> String const_OBJECT_NAME_DELIMITER

The delimiter character that is used to separate object names in requests for multiple objects.

addConnectionListener

void addConnectionListener(<SL4B_ConnectionListener> l_oConnectionListener)

Adds the specified SL4B_ConnectionListener to the collection of connection listeners that will be notified when a connection event occurs. It is possible to add the same listener multiple times, in which case it will be notified of a single connection event multiple times (equal to the number of times it has been registered).

Parameters:
l_oConnectionListener - The connection listener to be registered with this SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider.

blockObjectListeners

void blockObjectListeners(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <String> l_sObjectList)

Stops the specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber from receiving updates for the specified objects. The Liberator will continue to send the updates, however they are not passed onto the subscriber.

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - The SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will have updates to its requested objects blocked.
l_sObjectList - [optional] A space separated list of the names of the RTTP objects to be have their updates blocked. If omitted, all the objects that the SL4B_AbstractSubscriber has subscribed to will have their updates blocked.

clearContainerWindow

void clearContainerWindow(<Object> l_oContainerKey)

Clears the container window. This method changes the container to return all data rather than only the requested window

Parameters:
l_oContainerKey - The unique token identifying the container, returned by the original getContainer() call.

clearObjectListeners

void clearObjectListeners(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <int> l_nDiscardTime)

Removes all the subscriptions for the specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber.

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - The SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will have all its object requests discarded.
l_nDiscardTime - [optional] The length of time (in milliseconds) to wait before discarding the subscriptions from the Liberator. If this is omitted, a value of 10000 is used.

connect

void connect()

Invoked when a connection to the Liberator needs to be established. It is the responsibility of the SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider subclass to know when it can safely invoke this method.

Any concrete class that extends SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider must have an implementation for this method.

connected

void connected()

This method must be invoked when a connection to the Liberator has been established. It invokes the SL4B_AbstractCredentialsProvider.getCredentials() method, passing in a reference to this object. The credentials provider is responsible for gettings the login details, then passing them to this RTTP provider by invoking its SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider.login() method.

contribObject

void contribObject(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <String> l_sObjectName, <SL4B_ContributionFieldData> l_oFieldData)

Contributes the specified field name/value data to the RTTP object with the specified name. The specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber will be informed if the contribution is successful or not.

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - The SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will be informed whether the contribution was successful or not.
l_sObjectName - The name of the RTTP object the specified data will be contributed to.
l_oFieldData - The field name/value pair data to be contributed.

Throws:
- SL4B_Exception If the specified contribution field data object is null or empty.

createFieldListForAutoDirectory

Object createFieldListForAutoDirectory(<String> l_sFilter, <boolean> l_bIsUpdateFilter, <String> l_sFieldList)

Parameters:
l_sFilter - The filter to be added to the field list. This can be null or undefined.
l_bIsUpdateFilter - [optional] true if an update only filter must be used, otherwise false. If this argument is omitted, it will default to true.
l_sFieldList - [optional] A comma separated list of fields.

createFieldListForContainer

Object createFieldListForContainer(l_sUniqueId, l_sFieldList, l_nWindowStart, l_nWindowEnd)

createObject

boolean createObject(<String> l_sObjectName, <String> l_sRttpType)

Attempts to create an RTTP object with the specified name and type on the Liberator.

Parameters:
l_sObjectName - The name of the RTTP object to be created on the Liberator.
l_sRttpType - The type of object to be created. The SL4B_ObjectType singleton defines the possible values.

Returns:
true if the object was successfully created, otherwise false.

credentialsRetrieved

void credentialsRetrieved()

This method must be invoked once the credentials that will be used to log into the Liberator have been retrieved, but before the login message is sent. It will ensure that all the registered SL4B_ConnectionListeners are notified of the event.

debug

void debug(<String> l_sLevelName, <String> l_sMessage)

l_oSlaveFrameSubscriptionManager - The subscription manager for the slave frame.

disableWTStatsTimeout

void disableWTStatsTimeout(<int> l_nTime)

Disables the WTStats timeout for the specfied period of time. This timeout is one of the mechanisms used to detect connection problems over RTTP. It may be necessary to disable it for a brief period of time if lots of objects are requested simultaneously, since the images for these requests may prevent the WTStats NOOP from being processed until after the timeout period has expired, resulting in an unnecessary reconnection.

Parameters:
l_nTime - The number of milliseconds the WTStats timeout will be disabled for.

l_sObjectName - The name of the RTTP news headline object to be requested from the Liberator.
l_sFilter - The filter that will be applied to the headlines (see method documentation above for syntax information).

getFilteredNewsHeadlines

void getFilteredNewsHeadlines(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <String> l_sObjectList, <String> l_sFilter)

Requests the specified RTTP news headline objects, with the specified filter, from the Liberator. Updates for these objects will be received by the specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber.

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - The SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will be informed of updates to the specified objects.
l_sObjectList - A space separated list of the names of the RTTP news headline objects to be requested from the Liberator.
l_sFilter - The filter that will be applied to the headlines (see SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider.getFilteredNewsHeadline() for syntax information).

getFilteredObject

void getFilteredObject(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <String> l_sObjectName, <String> l_sFilter, <boolean> l_bIsUpdateFilter, <String> l_sFieldList)

Requests the specified list of fields for the specified RTTP object, using the specified filter, from the Liberator. Updates for that object will be received by the specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber.

Note: Please use the SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider.getFilteredNewsHeadline() method to request a news headline object with a filter.



Filter syntax

The filter allows one or more of the object fields to be restricted, reducing the number of field updates that will be received. For example getFilteredObject(this, "DEMO/MSFT", "(dLast > 50) & (dVolumeAcc > 1000)", true, "dLast, dVolumeAcc") will only receive updates where dLast is greater than 50, and/or dVolumeAcc is greater than 1000. The following tables list the valid filter syntax:

Image Filters Versus Update Filters

There are two ways in which a filter can be applied, which is controlled by the l_bIsUpdateFilter argument. If the l_bIsUpdateFilter argument is omitted, an update filter will be applied.

Image Filter

An image filter is applied after the data within a particular object update has been applied to the image of that object. If the filter is dependent on a field that is not present within an update, then the cached value for that field will be used to determine whether the update matches the filter.



Update Filter

An update filter is applied to the data within a particular object update only. If the filter is dependent on a field that is not present within an update, the filter will fail, and the client will not be sent the update.



Example Data

The following table provides an example of difference in behaviour between these two types of filter (in both cases the filter (BidSize > 1000) & (AskSize > 1000) is used):



Bid	BidSize	AskSize	Ask	Matches Image Filter?	Matches Update Filter?
54.25	1500	2000	55.00	Yes	Yes
54.00	2000	{none}	{none}	Yes	No
54.50	500	{none}	{none}	No	No
54.25	1500	54.75	500	No	No
54.00	2000	54.75	1500	Yes	Yes

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - The SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will be informed of updates to the specified object.
l_sObjectName - The name of the RTTP object to be requested from the Liberator.
l_sFilter - A set of conditions for limiting the updates that will be returned for the server.
l_bIsUpdateFilter - [optional] true if an update only filter must be used, otherwise false. If this argument is omitted, it will default to true.
l_sFieldList - [optional] A comma separated list of the fields to be requested for the specified object. If this argument is omitted, all the fields will be requested.

getFilteredObjects

void getFilteredObjects(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber, <String> l_sObjectList, <String> l_sFilter, <boolean> l_bIsUpdateFilter, <String> l_sFieldList)

Requests the specified list of fields for the specified RTTP objects, using the specified filter, from the Liberator. Updates for these objects will be received by the specified SL4B_AbstractSubscriber.

Note: Please use the SL4B_AbstractRttpProvider.getFilteredNewsHeadlines() method to request multiple news headline objects with a filter.

getListener

String getListener(<SL4B_AbstractSubscriber> l_oSubscriber)

Gets the listener string that will be used by the RTTP provider to uniquely indentify the SL4B_AbstractSubscriber that will be notified of updates. This string can be evaluated by the RTTP provider to get a reference the actual subscriber object that an update will be sent to, and must include the location of the subscriber within the DOM. This identifier is obtained by invoking the SL4B_AbstractSubscriber.getIdentifier() method.

For backwards compatibility, it is possible for a string to be used as a subscriber instead, in which case this method will return the specified string as the listener.

Parameters:
l_oSubscriber - - The subscriber that needs to be registered with the RTTP applet.

Returns:
The DOM identifier that will be evaluated by the RTTP provider to send updates to the specified subscriber.

Throws:
- SL4B_Exception If the specified subscriber is not an instance of SL4B_AbstractSubscriber, and is not a String.
