InheritanceAsyncRequest Inheritance Producer Inheritance AbstractProducer Inheritance MessageAgent Inheritance EventDispatcher Inheritance Object

The AsyncRequest class provides an abstraction of messaging for RPC call invocation. An AsyncRequest allows multiple requests to be made on a remote destination and will call back to the responder specified within the request when the remote request is completed.



Public Properties

 Inheritedauthenticated : Boolean
[read-only] Indicates if this MessageAgent is using an authenticated connection to its destination.
MessageAgent
 InheritedautoConnect : Boolean
If true the Producer automatically connects to its destination the first time the send() method is called.
AbstractProducer
 InheritedchannelSet : ChannelSet
Provides access to the ChannelSet used by the MessageAgent.
MessageAgent
 InheritedclientId : String
[read-only] Provides access to the client id for the MessageAgent.
MessageAgent
 Inheritedconnected : Boolean
[read-only] Indicates whether this MessageAgent is currently connected to its destination via its ChannelSet.
MessageAgent
 Inheritedconstructor : Object
A reference to the class object or constructor function for a given object instance.
Object
 InheriteddefaultHeaders : Object
The default headers to apply to messages sent by the Producer.
AbstractProducer
 Inheriteddestination : String
Provides access to the destination for the MessageAgent.
MessageAgent
 Inheritedprototype : Object
[static] A reference to the prototype object of a class or function object.
Object
 InheritedreconnectAttempts : int
The number of reconnect attempts that the Producer makes in the event that the destination is unavailable or the connection to the destination closes.
AbstractProducer
 InheritedreconnectInterval : int
The number of milliseconds between reconnect attempts.
AbstractProducer
 InheritedrequestTimeout : int
Provides access to the request timeout in seconds for sent messages.
MessageAgent
 Inheritedsubtopic : String
Provides access to the subtopic for the remote destination that the MessageAgent uses.

Protected Properties
 PropertyDefined By
 Inherited_agentType : String
The type of MessageAgent.
MessageAgent
 Inherited_credentials : String
The Base64 encoded credentials that will be passed through to the ChannelSet.
MessageAgent
 Inherited_credentialsCharset : String
The character set encoding used to create the credentials String.
MessageAgent
 Inherited_disconnectBarrier : Boolean
Indicates whether the agent is explicitly disconnected.
MessageAgent
 Inherited_ignoreFault : Boolean = false
Flag being set to true denotes that we should skip remaining fault processing logic because the fault has already been handled.
MessageAgent
