Typical usage:</p> <code type="none"><![CDATA[ QoS = [#'CosNotification_Property' {name='CosEventDomainAdmin':'DiamondDetection'(), value=any:create(orber_tc:short(), 'CosEventDomainAdmin':'AuthorizeDiamonds'())}, #'CosNotification_Property' {name='CosEventDomainAdmin':'CycleDetection'(), value=any:create(orber_tc:short(), 'CosEventDomainAdmin':'ForbidCycles'())}], 'CosEventDomainAdmin_EventDomain':set_qos(ED, QoS), ]]></code> <p>If it is not possible to set the requested QoS the <c><![CDATA[UnsupportedQoS]]></c> exception is raised, which includes a sequence of <c><![CDATA[PropertyError]]></c>'s describing which QoS, possible range and why is not allowed. The error codes are:</p> <list type="bulleted"> <item>UNSUPPORTED_PROPERTY - QoS not supported for this type of target object.</item> <item>UNAVAILABLE_PROPERTY - due to current QoS settings the given property is not allowed.</item> <item>UNSUPPORTED_VALUE - property value out of range; valid range is returned.</item> <item>UNAVAILABLE_VALUE - due to current QoS settings the given value is not allowed; valid range is returned.</item> <item>BAD_PROPERTY - unrecognized property.</item> <item>BAD_TYPE - type of supplied property is incorrect.</item> <item>BAD_VALUE - illegal value.</item> </list> <p>The CosEventDomainAdmin_EventDomain interface also supports an operation called <c><![CDATA[validate_qos/2]]></c>. The purpose of this operations is to check if a QoS setting is supported by the target object and if so, the operation returns additional properties which could be optionally added as well.</p> </section> <section> <title>Admin Properties</title> <p>The OMG specification do not contain any definitions of Admin Properties. Hence, the cosEventDomain application currently does not support any Admin Properties.</p> </section> </section> </chapter>
