README for the Notification Service
-----------------------------------
Implementation notes
--------------------
Here is a brief description of the MT options for the Notify Service.
The motivation for adding these "knobs" is give the user a chance to
fine tune his/her thread requirements in the Service at its
bottlenecks. These bottlenecks are at filter evaluation and in the two
way push to consumers. These are the points at which the Event Channel
has to interact with remote objects whose implementation is unknown to
the Event Channel. e.g. if a consumer decided to execute a tight loop
in its push method, it would block the entire event channel if it was
single threaded. By deploying a thread pool to perform dispatching
events to consumers - we can alleviate this problem.
[Also read the $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs/Notify_Service/README for a proper
description of how to specify these parameters.]
-DispatchingThreads
Consider a Notify service running with just one thread, namely the main.
In this case when the event channel dispatches an event to a consumer (by
calling its push method) all other consumers will be blocked, waiting for
their push methods to be invoked. To decouple the consumers from one
another we can deploy dispatching threads using this option.
-SourceThreads
Deploys a thread pool after event receipt from the supplier. All subsequent
notification channel processing can happen on this thread and the original
publishing push() can be ended. Separates server side processing of the
event from the supplier's publication.
Usage:
-----
Use the $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs/Notify_Service to register a ChannelFactory with the
Naming Service.See the README for more details.
Examples:
--------
The $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs/examples/Notify/Filter example shows how to using
filtering.
The $TAO_ROOT/orbsvcs/examples/Notify/Subscribe example shows how consumers
can subscribe only to the required event types.
