Caplin Trader 5.1.0

Interface: module:ct-services/messaging/MessageService

module:ct-services/messaging/MessageService

Provides access to publish/subscriber asynchronous messaging services.

Methods

dispose()

Disposes of any listeners and resources that were used by the service.

onSubscriptionDisposed() → {module:ct-services/messaging/Subscription}

Notifies this MessageService that a subscription has been disposed of.

Returns:

The subscription that's been disposed of

Type
module:ct-services/messaging/Subscription

publish(sSubject, mUpdateData, oListener, mHints)

Publishes data to a record.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
sSubject String

The subject of the record being published to.

mUpdateData Map

The data to be published to the record.

oListener module:ct-services/messaging/PublishListener

The listener that will receive the publish events.

mHints Map

Any hints that might be used by the concrete implementation of the message service.

See:

publishSessionMessage(sSubject, mUpdateData, oListener, mHints)

Publishes some session data to a record.

Whereas module:ct-services/messaging/MessageService#publish allows you to publish a one-time message for consumption by the server (trade messages are sent like this for example), module:ct-services/messaging/MessageService#publishSessionMessage allows you to publish a message for the duration of your session (the trade-on-behalf-of user is specified like this for example). Session messages are keyed on the subject name, so that if a new message is published on the same subject then we can consider that this replaces the previous message published on that subject.

Message services that support clustering will need to either indicate that these are session messages to the server (for servers that support session replication), or will need to manually republish session messages after fail-over. Message services may also need to republish session messages after reconnection if the server doesn't support session persistence.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
sSubject String

The subject of the record being published to.

mUpdateData Map

The data to be published to the record.

oListener module:ct-services/messaging/PublishListener

The listener that will receive the publish events.

mHints Map

Any hints that might be used by the concrete implementation of the message service.

See:

subscribe(sSubject, oListener, mHints) → {module:ct-services/messaging/Subscription}

Creates a subscription to a record.

Since hints may or may not be supported by the underlying message service, hints must only used for progressive enhancement. The 'fields' hint, which allows client code to indicate which fields are actually required, is a good example of this. It enables message services that support the hint to reduce the number of fields they subscribe to, yet it wouldn't be disastrous if a message service chose not to support it.

Parameters:
Name Type Description
sSubject String

The subject of the record being subscribed to.

oListener module:ct-services/messaging/SubscriptionListener

The listener for the subscription.

mHints Map

Any hints that might be used by the concrete implementation of the message service.

Returns:

The subscription to the record.
