-The framework is organized roughly around these high level component
-categories. The sublevels indicate the JAWS components that
-participate in the category.

- JAWS_Event_Dispatcher
- JAWS_Event_Completer
- JAWS_Event_Result
-
- Input/Output Events
- JAWS_IO
- JAWS_IO_Impl
- JAWS_Asynch_IO
- JAWS_Synch_IO
- JAWS_Reactive_IO

- Timing Events
- JAWS_Timer
- JAWS_Timer_Impl
- JAWS_Task_Timer

- Protocol Framework
- JAWS_Protocol_Handler
- JAWS_Protocol_State

- Concurrency Framework
- JAWS_Concurrency
- JAWS_Concurrency_Impl
- JAWS_THYBRID_Concurrency
- JAWS_TPOOL_Concurrency
- JAWS_TPR_Concurrency

-
-The Event Framework:
-
- The JAWS_Event_Dispatcher remains hidden to the application
- developer. It is initialized from the main program which is built
- within the jaws3 subdirectory, and uses ACE_Reactor and
- ACE_Proactor.
-
- The JAWS_Event_Completer is a callback helper class that is used by
- the JAWS_Event_Dispatcher. A completer is passed into the Event
- Framework whenever an application developer wants to initiate an
- event. When the event completes, the completer is called for
- notification.
-
- The JAWS_Event_Result is a class that describes the result of the
- event for the completer when the completer gets called back.
-
-Input/Output Events
-
- The JAWS_IO class bridges IO event dispatching methods to the
- JAWS_IO_Impl abstraction. It delegates its IO interfaces to
- corresponding methods in JAWS_IO_Impl.
-
- JAWS_Asynch_IO, JAWS_Synch_IO, and JAWS_Reactive_IO all derive from
- JAWS_IO_Impl. The usage API for these classes follows an
- asynchronous usage interface. This enables an application to
- experiment with different underlying IO implementations to see how
- it impacts performance without redesigning/rewriting the entire
- application.
-
-Timer Events
-
- The JAWS_Timer class bridges timer dispatching methods to the
- JAWS_Timer_Impl abstraction.
-
- JAWS_Task_Timer derives from JAWS_Timer_Impl, and uses a task
- coupled with an ACE_Timer_Wheel to implement timers.
-
-Protocol Framework
-
- The JAWS_Protocol_Handler plays the role of Context in the State
- pattern, while the JAWS_Protocol_State plays the role of State. The
- JAWS_Protocol_Handler's service() method delegates to the service()
- method of an associated JAWS_Protocol_State. In addition, the
- JAWS_Protocol_Handler also derives from JAWS_Event_Completer.
-
- The idea is that the application developer will derive from
- JAWS_Protocol_State to fill out the programmatical details of their
- protocol. At the end of the state, an asynchronous event will be
- initiated, and the state returns the control of the thread back to
- the framework. When the event completes, the associated
- JAWS_Protocol_Handler is called back, and it then triggers a call
- into the JAWS_Protocol_State's transition() method. This method
- is to return the next state or the protocol. The event completion
- callback then enqueues itself with one of the concurrency
- implementations of the Concurrency Framework.
-
-Concurrency Framework
-
- The JAWS_Concurrency class bridges concurrency mechanisms to the
- JAWS_Concurrency_Impl abstraction.
-
- JAWS_THYBRID_Concurrency, JAWS_TPOOL_Concurrency and
- JAWS_TPR_Concurrency derive from JAWS_Concurrency_Impl. They are
- active objects that dequeue JAWS_Protocol_Handlers and call into
- their service() methods.
