Interface BindingAwareBroker

All Known Implementing Classes:

RootBindingAwareBroker

@Deprecated(forRemoval=true)
public interface BindingAwareBroker

Deprecated, for removal: This API element is subject to removal in a future version.

Binding-aware core of the SAL layer responsible for wiring the SAL consumers.

The responsibility of the broker is to maintain registration of SAL functionality Consumers and Providers, store provider and consumer specific context and functionality registration via BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext and provide access to infrastructure services, which removes direct dependencies between providers and consumers.

The Binding-aware broker is also responsible for translation from Java classes modeling the functionality and data to binding-independent form which is used in SAL Core.

Infrastructure services

Some examples of infrastructure services:

• YANG Module service - see RpcConsumerRegistry.getRpcService(Class), BindingAwareBroker.ProviderContext
• Notification Service - see NotificationService and NotificationProviderService

The services are exposed via session.

Session-based access

The providers and consumers needs to register in order to use the binding-independent SAL layer and to expose functionality via SAL layer.

For more information about session-based access see BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext and BindingAwareBroker.ProviderContext

Method Detail

registerConsumer

@Deprecated
BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext registerConsumer(BindingAwareConsumer consumer,
                                                    org.osgi.framework.BundleContext ctx)

Deprecated.

registerConsumer

@Deprecated
BindingAwareBroker.ConsumerContext registerConsumer(BindingAwareConsumer consumer)

Deprecated.

Registers the BindingAwareConsumer, which will use the SAL layer.

Note that consumer could register additional functionality at later point by using service and functionality specific APIs.

The consumer is required to use returned session for all communication with broker or one of the broker services. The session is announced to the consumer by invoking BindingAwareConsumer.onSessionInitialized(ConsumerContext).

Parameters:

consumer - Consumer to be registered.

Returns:

a session specific to consumer registration

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the consumer is null.

IllegalStateException - If the consumer is already registered.

registerProvider

@Deprecated
BindingAwareBroker.ProviderContext registerProvider(BindingAwareProvider provider,
                                                    org.osgi.framework.BundleContext ctx)

Deprecated.

registerProvider

@Deprecated
BindingAwareBroker.ProviderContext registerProvider(BindingAwareProvider provider)

Deprecated.

Registers the BindingAwareProvider, which will use the SAL layer.

During the registration, the broker obtains the initial functionality from consumer, using the BindingAwareProvider#getImplementations(), and register that functionality into system and concrete infrastructure services.

Note that provider could register additional functionality at later point by using service and functionality specific APIs.

The consumer is required to use returned session for all communication with broker or one of the broker services. The session is announced to the consumer by invoking BindingAwareProvider.onSessionInitiated(ProviderContext).

Parameters:

provider - Provider to be registered.

Returns:

a session unique to the provider registration.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - If the provider is null.

IllegalStateException - If the consumer is already registered.
