TROBaseSuperTCPServer

Overview

TROBaseSuperTCPServer implements the server side of the enhanced TCP based channel, which provides a sophisticated and flexible communication channel that uses persistent connections to enable true asynchronous calls and server callbacks.

TROSuperTCPServer and TROSynapseSuperTCPServer contain implementation of TROBaseSuperTCPServer via Indy and Synapse libraries accordingly.

Location


 

constructor Create  override

Standard component constructor

constructor Create(aOwner: TComponent)

Parameters:

  • aOwner: Owner

AckWaitTimeout

Specifies the time frame, in milliseconds, within which an "acknowledgement" message is expected to be received for a sent event (default is 10000, i.e. 10 seconds). If no acknowledgement has been received after the specified time, delivery will be considered to have failed and the event will be stored in the queue for future retries.

property AckWaitTimeout: Integer read write

Active    (declared in TROServer)

Toggles whether the server ready to receive requests from clients. Depending on the server type, changing this property might open/close a network socket or otherwise toggle whether the server will process incoming requests.

property Active: Boolean read write

Assign  override

Copies the contents of another, similar object.

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied

AutoRegisterSession

This property is used by the server to automatically sign new clients up to the event repository, to make it possible fo them to receive events without manual registration.

property AutoRegisterSession: Boolean read write

BaseSuperServerConnection  protected

Reference to TROBaseSuperServerConnection that was created with CreateBaseSuperServerConnection method

property BaseSuperServerConnection: TROBaseSuperTcpServerConnection read

BlockingEvents

Affects processing events on the server. Setting BlockingEvents=true can makes delay in dispatching events, in this case dispatching event through clients will happen in the main thread of the server and suspends it. This value is useful however when you want to make sure events arrive in order. If you want possibility to process multiply events at once you should use default value BlockingEvents=false, event is put in the queue and will be dispatched in separate thread. In this case you'll possibly need to control thread pool queue from overflow using ThreadPool.MaxQueue, ThreadPool.MaxThreads properties.

property BlockingEvents: Boolean read write

CheckProperties  virtual    (declared in TROServer)

Validates the server properties.

procedure CheckProperties

Dispatchers    (declared in TROServer)

Specifies how incoming requests will be processed and dispatched. Depending on the server type, one or multiple dispatchers can be configured to receive messages from the client. Each dispatcher consists of a Message and an optional Name. Also, each dispatcher can be individually enabled or disabled. Each server must have at least one dispatcher configured, in order to be able to process messages.

=Essential Sub-Properties=

  • Message specifies the message format to be used for this dispatcher.
  • Name specifies the name, or possibly the URL for the dispatcher.

In HTTP based servers (such as the TROIndyHTTPServer, the Name will be appended as folder to the server URL allowing the server to make multiple dispatchers available at different URLs.
