This class provides a base for services within Xorp processes. A service instance is an entity that can logically started and stopped and typically needs some asynchronous processing in order to start and stop. An example service within a routing process would be a RIB communicator service, which needs to co-ordinate with the RIB which is within a different process and may be on a different machine.
A service may be started and shutdown by calling startup() and shutdown(). The status of a service may be determined by calling status(). Additional notes on the current status may be obtained by calling status_note().
Synchronous service status changes may be received through the ServiceChangeObserverBase class. Instances of objects derived from this class can register for status change notifications in a Service instance by calling set_observer().

[pure virtual]
| void startup ()
| startup |
[pure virtual]
Start service. Service should transition from READY to STARTING immediately and onto RUNNING or FAILED in the near future.
| void shutdown ()
| shutdown |
[pure virtual]
Shutdown service. Service should transition from RUNNING to SHUTTING_DOWN immediately and onto SHUTDOWN or FAILED in the near future.
| bool reset ()
| reset |
[virtual]
Reset service. Service should transition in READY from whichever state it is in.
The default implementation always returns false as there is no default behaviour.
Returns: true on success, false on failure.
| bool pause ()
| pause |
[virtual]
Pause service. Service should transition from RUNNING to PAUSING and asynchronously into PAUSED.
The default implementation always returns false as there is no default behaviour.
Returns: true on success, false on failure.
| bool resume ()
| resume |
[virtual]
Resume paused service. Service should transition from PAUSED to PAUSING and asynchronously into RUNNING.
The default implementation always returns false as there is no default behaviour.
Returns: true on success, false on failure.
| inline ServiceStatus status ()
| status |
[const]
Get the current status.
| inline const string& status_note ()
| status_note |
[const]
Get annotation associated with current status. The annotation when set is an explanation of the state, ie "waiting for Y"
| const char* status_name ()
| status_name |
[const]
Get a character representation of the current service status.
| bool set_observer (ServiceChangeObserverBase* so)
| set_observer |
Set service status change observer. The observer will receive synchronous notifications of changes in service state.
Parameters:
| so | service change observer to add. |
Returns: true on success, false if an observer is already set.
| bool unset_observer (ServiceChangeObserverBase* so)
| unset_observer |
Remove service status change observer.
Parameters:
| so | observer to remove. |
Returns: true on success, false if supplied observer does match the last set observer.
| void set_status (ServiceStatus status, const string& note)
| set_status |
[protected]
Set current status.
Parameters:
| status | new status. |
| note | comment on new service status. |
| void set_status (ServiceStatus status)
| set_status |
[protected]
Set current status and clear status note.
Parameters:
| status | new status. |
| ServiceStatus _status | _status |
[protected]
| string _note | _note |
[protected]
| ServiceChangeObserverBase* _observer | _observer |
