Field Detail

WIREADMIN_PID

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_PID
Wire property key (named wireadmin.pid) specifying the persistent identity (PID) of this Wire object.

Each Wire object has a PID to allow unique and persistent identification of a specific Wire object. The PID must be generated by the WireAdmin service when the Wire object is created.

This wire property is automatically set by the Wire Admin service. The value of the property must be of type String.

A service registration property for a Producer service that is composite. It contains the names of the composite Consumer services it can inter-operate with. Inter-operability exists when any name in this array matches any name in the array set by the Consumer service. The type of this property must be String[].

Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_COMPOSITE

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_COMPOSITE
A service registration property for a Consumer service that is composite. It contains the names of the composite Producer services it can cooperate with. Inter-operability exists when any name in this array matches any name in the array set by the Producer service. The type of this property must be String[].

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_SCOPE

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_SCOPE
Service registration property key (named wireadmin.producer.scope) specifying a list of names that may be used to define the scope of this Wire object. A Producer service should set this service property when it can produce more than one kind of value. This property is only used during registration, modifying the property must not have any effect of the Wire object's scope. Each name in the given list mist have WirePermission[name,PRODUCE] or else is ignored. The type of this service registration property must be String[].

See Also:
Wire.getScope(), WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_SCOPE, Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_SCOPE

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_SCOPE
Service registration property key (named wireadmin.consumer.scope) specifying a list of names that may be used to define the scope of this Wire object. A Consumer service should set this service property when it can produce more than one kind of value. This property is only used during registration, modifying the property must not have any effect of the Wire object's scope. Each name in the given list mist have WirePermission[name,CONSUME] or else is ignored. The type of this service registration property must be String[].

See Also:
Wire.getScope(), WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_SCOPE, Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_SCOPE_ALL

static final java.lang.String[] WIREADMIN_SCOPE_ALL
Matches all scope names.


WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_PID

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_PID
Wire property key (named wireadmin.producer.pid) specifying the service.pid of the associated Producer service.

This wire property is automatically set by the WireAdmin service. The value of the property must be of type String.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_PID

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_PID
Wire property key (named wireadmin.consumer.pid) specifying the service.pid of the associated Consumer service.

This wire property is automatically set by the Wire Admin service. The value of the property must be of type String.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_FILTER

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_FILTER
Wire property key (named wireadmin.filter) specifying a filter used to control the delivery rate of data between the Producer and the Consumer service.

This property should contain a filter as described in the Filter class. The filter can be used to specify when an updated value from the Producer service should be delivered to the Consumer service. In many cases the Consumer service does not need to receive the data with the same rate that the Producer service can generate data. This property can be used to control the delivery rate.

The filter can use a number of pre-defined attributes that can be used to control the delivery of new data values. If the filter produces a match upon the wire filter attributes, the Consumer service should be notifed of the updated data value.

If the Producer service was registered with the WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_FILTERS service property indicating that the Producer service will perform the data filtering then the Wire object will not perform data filtering. Otherwise, the Wire object must perform basic filtering. Basic filtering includes supporting the following standard wire filter attributes:

WIREVALUE_PREVIOUS

static final java.lang.String WIREVALUE_PREVIOUS

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREVALUE_DELTA_ABSOLUTE

static final java.lang.String WIREVALUE_DELTA_ABSOLUTE
Wire object's filter attribute (named wirevalue.delta.absolute) representing the absolute delta. The absolute (always positive) difference between the last update and the current value (only when numeric). This attribute must not be used when the values are not numeric.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREVALUE_DELTA_RELATIVE

static final java.lang.String WIREVALUE_DELTA_RELATIVE
Wire object's filter attribute (named wirevalue.delta.relative) representing the relative delta. The relative difference is |previous-current |/| current| (only when numeric). This attribute must not be used when the values are not numeric.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREVALUE_ELAPSED

static final java.lang.String WIREVALUE_ELAPSED
Wire object's filter attribute (named wirevalue.elapsed) representing the elapsed time, in ms, between this filter evaluation and the last update of the Consumer service.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_FILTERS

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_PRODUCER_FILTERS
Service Registration property (named wireadmin.producer.filters). A Producer service registered with this property indicates to the Wire Admin service that the Producer service implements at least the filtering as described for the WIREADMIN_FILTER property. If the Producer service is not registered with this property, the Wire object must perform the basic filtering as described in WIREADMIN_FILTER.

The type of the property value is not relevant. Only its presence is relevant.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_FLAVORS

static final java.lang.String WIREADMIN_CONSUMER_FLAVORS
