Detailed Description

The communicator observer interface used by the Ice run-time to obtain and update observers for its observable objects.

This interface should be implemented by add-ins that wish to observe Ice objects in order to collect statistics. An instance of this interface can be provided to the Ice run-time through the Ice communicator initialization data.

Operation Documentation

getConnectionEstablishmentObserver()

Observer getConnectionEstablishmentObserver	(	Endpoint	endpt,
		string	connector
	)

This method should return an observer for the given endpoint information and connector.

The Ice run-time calls this method for each connection establishment attempt.

Parameters

endpt	The endpoint.
connector	The description of the connector. For IP transports, this is typically the IP address to connect to.

Returns

The observer to instrument the connection establishment.

getConnectionObserver()

ConnectionObserver getConnectionObserver	(	ConnectionInfo	c,
		Endpoint	e,
		ConnectionState	s,
		ConnectionObserver	o
	)

This method should return a connection observer for the given connection.

The Ice run-time calls this method for each new connection and for all the Ice communicator connections when ObserverUpdater#updateConnectionObservers is called.

Parameters

c	The connection information.
e	The connection endpoint.
s	The state of the connection.
o	The old connection observer if one is already set or a null reference otherwise.

Returns

The connection observer to instrument the connection.

getDispatchObserver()

DispatchObserver getDispatchObserver	(	Current	c,
		int	size
	)

This method should return a dispatch observer for the given dispatch.

The Ice run-time calls this method each time it receives an incoming invocation to be dispatched for an Ice object.

Parameters

c	The current object as provided to the Ice servant dispatching the invocation.
size	The size of the dispatch.

Returns

The dispatch observer to instrument the dispatch.

getEndpointLookupObserver()

Observer getEndpointLookupObserver

(

Endpoint

endpt

)

This method should return an observer for the given endpoint information.

The Ice run-time calls this method to resolve an endpoint and obtain the list of connectors.

For IP endpoints, this typically involves doing a DNS lookup to obtain the IP addresses associated with the DNS name.

Parameters

endpt

The endpoint.

Returns

The observer to instrument the endpoint lookup.

getInvocationObserver()

InvocationObserver getInvocationObserver	(	Object *	prx,
		string	operation,
		Context	ctx
	)

This method should return an invocation observer for the given invocation.

The Ice run-time calls this method for each new invocation on a proxy.

Parameters

prx	The proxy used for the invocation.
operation	The name of the invocation.
ctx	The context specified by the user.

Returns

The invocation observer to instrument the invocation.

getThreadObserver()

ThreadObserver getThreadObserver	(	string	parent,
		string	id,
		ThreadState	s,
		ThreadObserver	o
	)

This method should return a thread observer for the given thread.

The Ice run-time calls this method for each new thread and for all the Ice communicator threads when ObserverUpdater#updateThreadObservers is called.

Parameters

parent	The parent of the thread.
id	The ID of the thread to observe.
s	The state of the thread.
o	The old thread observer if one is already set or a null reference otherwise.

Returns

The thread observer to instrument the thread.

setObserverUpdater()

void setObserverUpdater

(

ObserverUpdater

updater

)

The Ice run-time calls this method when the communicator is initialized.

The add-in implementing this interface can use this object to get the Ice run-time to re-obtain observers for observed objects.

Parameters

updater

The observer updater object.
