Designing SCOadmin object service agents

Example request processors

The Tcl Object Validation Routine will be passed three parameters;


osaDataString
the OSA defined handle associated with this class - forwarded by the class's call to OFBinding(TCL_ADM).

handleId
a handle to be passed back to the Server API helper functions to facilitate internal operations

bmipRequest
the BMIP request structured in a Tcl keyed list. The BMIP request contains these keys:
   operation
   invokeId
   objectClass
   objectInstance
   accessControl
   sync
   scope
   filter
   attributeList
   referenceObject
   actionType
   actionInfo

Request processor (Tcl)

proc UserRequestProcessor {osaDataString handleId bmipRequest} {

# # get the list of objects we'll be operating on, send them through # a filter, and then get a count of the remaining ones. #

set objectList [keylget bmipRequest objectInstance] set objectList [OFEvaluateFilter $handleId $objectList] set listLength [llength $objectList]

if ($listLength < 1) {

# # If all the objects failed the filter, we need to send a BMIP # response to that effect back to the client. So we set the # objectInstancePtr to NULL and call OFReturnBmipResponse(). #

set bmipResponse $bmipRequest keylset bmipResponse errorParameter {} keylset bmipResponse attributeList {} keylset bmipResponse actionInfo {} keylset bmipResponse linkedId 0 keylset bmipResponse objectInstance {}

# # Step through the remaining object instances so we can operate on # each one and send the BMIP response back to the client that called # us. We will do this non-atomically. # # If we were to do this atomicly we would construct an array to store # all the BMIP responses in. Then we would either send them all in # at once after all the calls to OFEvaluateOperation we completed (if # none of them contained an error), or we would undo the work of the # completed operations and send in one response that contained the # error. #

foreach object $objectList {

# # OFEvaluateOperation() returns a BMIP response, send # this back to the client via OFReturnBmipResponse(). # Make sure to have the last object call the return BMIP # function with a FALSE continue flag, so that we can # inform the client we're done sending data it's way. #
