<module>CosEventChannelAdmin_ProxyPullSupplier</module>
<modulesummary>This module implements a ProxyPullSupplier interface which acts as a middleman between pull consumer and the event channel.</modulesummary>
<description>
<p>The ProxyPullSupplier interface defines the second step for connecting pull consumers to the event channel. A proxy supplier is similar to a normal supplier,
but includes an additional method for connecting a consumer to the proxy
supplier.</p>
<p>To get access to all definitions, e.g., exceptions,
include necessary <c><![CDATA[hrl]]></c> files by using:<br></br><c><![CDATA[-include_lib("cosEvent/include/*.hrl").]]></c></p>
<p>Any object that possesses an object reference that supports the ProxyPullSupplier
interface can perform the following operations:</p>
</description>
<funcs>
<func>
<name>connect_pull_consumer(Object, PullConsumer) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Connect the pull consumer to the proxy pull supplier</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>PullConsumer = #objref of PullConsumer type</v>
<v>Return = ok | {'EXCEPTION', #'CosEventChannelAdmin_AlreadyConnected'{}}</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation connects PullConsumer object to the ProxyPullSupplier object.
A nil object reference can be passed to this operation. If so a channel
cannot invoke the disconnect_pull_consumer operation on the consumer;
the consumer may be disconnected from the channel without being
informed. If the ProxyPullSupplier is already connected to a
PullConsumer, then the <c><![CDATA[CosEventChannelAdmin_AlreadyConnected]]></c>
exception is raised.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>disconnect_pull_supplier(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Disconnect the ProxyPullSupplier object from the event channel.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>Return = ok</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation disconnects proxy pull supplier from the event channel.
It sends a notification about the loss of the connection to the pull consumer
attached to it, unless nil object reference was passed at the connection
time.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>pull(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Transmit data from suppliers to consumers.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>Return = any</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation blocks until the event data is available or the
<c><![CDATA[CosEventComm_Disconnected]]></c> exception is raised.
It returns the event data to the consumer.</p>
</desc>
</func>
<func>
<name>try_pull(Object) -> Return</name>
<fsummary>Transmit data from suppliers to consumers.</fsummary>
<type>
<v>Object = #objref</v>
<v>Return = {any, bool()}</v>
</type>
<desc>
<p>This operation does not block: if the event data is available, it returns
the event data and sets the data availability flag to true; otherwise
it returns a long with an undefined value and sets the data availability to
false. If the event communication has already been disconnected, the
<c><![CDATA[CosEventComm_Disconnected]]></c> exception is raised.</p>
</desc>
</func>
</funcs>
