Parameters:

  • Stream: Stream

Dispatch (IROMessage)  protected reintroduce overload    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Sends a request message through the Self channel for processing and gets back an aMessage. CodeGen uses this method when generating a proxy from RODL Files.

procedure Dispatch(aMessage: IROMessage)

Parameters:

  • aMessage: (In/out) message data

DispatchOptions    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Configures the available fail-over and load balancing options provided by the Remoting SDK. By default, channels are set up to talk to one specific server only. Two independent options are available to provide fail-over and load balancing:

  • Enables fail-over support. If the connection to any given server fails, the channel will automatically keep trying the next server specified in ServerLocators, until a working server is found or all servers have been tried.
  • Enables load-balancing support. Each request dispatched through the channel will go to a different server configured in ServerLocators, resulting in calls being more or less equally distributed over the available servers.

Enabling any of these options obviously requires the server to be implemented in a stateless way, so that it does not depend on all requests from a client going to the same server. This implies using a class factory different from Per-Client and, if sessions are used, a session manager that allows sharing of session state between servers.

property OnAfterEncrypt: TROBaseConnectionOperation read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterEncrypt(Sender: TROBaseConnection; aEncryptedStream: TStream)

OnAfterProbingServer    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after the channel is done probing a specific server for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServer: TROEndProbeServerEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterProbingServer(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aServerLocator: TROServerLocator; Failed: Boolean)

OnAfterProbingServers    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after the channel is done probing all servers for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServers: TROEndProbeServersEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterProbingServers(Sender: TROTransportChannel; ProbedCount: Integer; EnabledCount: Integer; DisabledCount: Integer)

OnAsyncException    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires when exception is raised in asynchronous mode

property OnBeforeProbingServer: TROBeginProbeServerEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnBeforeProbingServer(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aServerLocator: TROServerLocator)

OnBeforeProbingServers    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires before the channel starts probing all servers for availability. You can use this event:

  • to check or adjust the server configurations
  • to include/exclude individual server from being probed by changing their TROServerLocator properties.
property OnBeforeProbingServers: TROBeginProbeServersEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnBeforeProbingServers(Sender: TROTransportChannel)

OnException    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires if an exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This could be an exception returned from the server, a communication problem or an error within the client. Depending on the type of error, your event handler can try to rectify the problem, and set aRetry to true to have the channel try and perform the request again. For example, an application could show a dialog asking the user to confirm if his internet connection is available, with Cancel and Retry buttons.
If aRetry is set to true and the call succeeds at the second attempt, the call will return to the original code that initiated the request, as if the exception never happened.

property OnException: TROExceptionEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnException(Sender: TROTransportChannel; anException: Exception; var aRetry: Boolean)

OnLoginNeeded    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires if an EROSessionNotFound (or the descendant SessionNotFoundException) exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This usually indicates that the server cannot authenticate the client or that the session has expired. The most common use for this event is to perform a call to a special Login service provided by the server (possibly after prompting the user to enter username and password), and to set the aRetry parameter to true if login was successful.

property OnLoginNeeded: TROExceptionEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnLoginNeeded(Sender: TROTransportChannel; anException: Exception; var aRetry: Boolean)

OnProgress    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

This event fires as the channel is transferring data for a request or response to or from the server, informing of the current progress. It can be used to keep the user interface updated during lengthy transfers,e.g. by showing a progress bar or the remaining transfer volume. Note: the accuracy and frequency of calls to OnProgress depends on the channel type; since channels transport data packets in different sized chunks (or even all-at-once), OnProgress might show a very fine progress for some channels, while jumping from 0 to 100% in one step with others.

property OnProgress: TProgressEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnProgress(aSender: TObject; aType: TProgressType; aDirection: TProgressDirection; aTransferred: Integer; aTotal: Integer)

OnReceiveStream    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after a stream with a response message has been received from the server. Use this event handler to inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be processed by the higher levels of the Remoting SDK framework.

property OnReceiveStream: TStreamDispatch read write
delegate: procedure OnReceiveStream(aStream: TStream)

OnSendStream    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires just as a stream with a request message will be sent to the server. The event handler can inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be sent off to the server.

property OnSendStream: TStreamDispatch read write
delegate: procedure OnSendStream(aStream: TStream)

OnServerLocatorAssignment    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires before changing of a server locator.

property OnServerLocatorAssignment: TServerLocatorAssignment read write
delegate: procedure OnServerLocatorAssignment(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aLocator: TROServerLocator; aException: Exception)

The property name is persisted for backward compatibility.

property ProbeFrequency: Cardinal read write

ProbeServers    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

procedure TriggerProgress(aType: TProgressType; aDirection: TProgressDirection; aTransfered: Integer; aTotal: Integer)

Parameters:

  • aType: progress type
  • aDirection: direction
  • aTransfered: transfered bytes
  • aTotal: total bytes

 

OnAfterEncrypt    (declared in TROBaseConnection)

Fired after stream was encrypted

property OnAfterEncrypt: TROBaseConnectionOperation read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterEncrypt(Sender: TROBaseConnection; aEncryptedStream: TStream)

OnAfterProbingServer    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after the channel is done probing a specific server for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServer: TROEndProbeServerEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterProbingServer(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aServerLocator: TROServerLocator; Failed: Boolean)

OnAfterProbingServers    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after the channel is done probing all servers for availability. You can use this event to check the result of the probing, possibly to update internal data structures or to display server status in the user interface.

property OnAfterProbingServers: TROEndProbeServersEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnAfterProbingServers(Sender: TROTransportChannel; ProbedCount: Integer; EnabledCount: Integer; DisabledCount: Integer)

OnAsyncException    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires when exception is raised in asynchronous mode

property OnAsyncException: TROAsyncExceptionEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnAsyncException(Sender: TROTransportChannel; Async: IROAsyncInterface; anException: Exception)

OnBeforeDecrypt    (declared in TROBaseConnection)

Fired before stream will be decrypted

property OnBeforeDecrypt: TROBaseConnectionOperation read write
delegate: procedure OnBeforeDecrypt(Sender: TROBaseConnection; aEncryptedStream: TStream)

OnBeforeProbingServer    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires before the channel starts probing a specific server for availability. You can use this event to:

property OnBeforeProbingServer: TROBeginProbeServerEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnBeforeProbingServer(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aServerLocator: TROServerLocator)

OnBeforeProbingServers    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires before the channel starts probing all servers for availability. You can use this event:

  • to check or adjust the server configurations
  • to include/exclude individual server from being probed by changing their TROServerLocator properties.
property OnBeforeProbingServers: TROBeginProbeServersEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnBeforeProbingServers(Sender: TROTransportChannel)

OnException    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires if an exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This could be an exception returned from the server, a communication problem or an error within the client. Depending on the type of error, your event handler can try to rectify the problem, and set aRetry to true to have the channel try and perform the request again. For example, an application could show a dialog asking the user to confirm if his internet connection is available, with Cancel and Retry buttons.
If aRetry is set to true and the call succeeds at the second attempt, the call will return to the original code that initiated the request, as if the exception never happened.

property OnException: TROExceptionEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnException(Sender: TROTransportChannel; anException: Exception; var aRetry: Boolean)

OnLoginNeeded    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires if an EROSessionNotFound (or the descendant SessionNotFoundException) exception is raised during the execution of a remote request. This usually indicates that the server cannot authenticate the client or that the session has expired. The most common use for this event is to perform a call to a special Login service provided by the server (possibly after prompting the user to enter username and password), and to set the aRetry parameter to true if login was successful.

property OnLoginNeeded: TROExceptionEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnLoginNeeded(Sender: TROTransportChannel; anException: Exception; var aRetry: Boolean)

OnProgress    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

This event fires as the channel is transferring data for a request or response to or from the server, informing of the current progress. It can be used to keep the user interface updated during lengthy transfers,e.g. by showing a progress bar or the remaining transfer volume. Note: the accuracy and frequency of calls to OnProgress depends on the channel type; since channels transport data packets in different sized chunks (or even all-at-once), OnProgress might show a very fine progress for some channels, while jumping from 0 to 100% in one step with others.

property OnProgress: TProgressEvent read write
delegate: procedure OnProgress(aSender: TObject; aType: TProgressType; aDirection: TProgressDirection; aTransferred: Integer; aTotal: Integer)

OnReceiveStream    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires after a stream with a response message has been received from the server. Use this event handler to inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be processed by the higher levels of the Remoting SDK framework.

property OnReceiveStream: TStreamDispatch read write
delegate: procedure OnReceiveStream(aStream: TStream)

OnSendStream    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires just as a stream with a request message will be sent to the server. The event handler can inspect and possibly modify the stream, before it continues to be sent off to the server.

property OnSendStream: TStreamDispatch read write
delegate: procedure OnSendStream(aStream: TStream)

OnServerLocatorAssignment    (declared in TROTransportChannel)

Fires before changing of a server locator.

property OnServerLocatorAssignment: TServerLocatorAssignment read write
delegate: procedure OnServerLocatorAssignment(Sender: TROTransportChannel; aLocator: TROServerLocator; aException: Exception)
