Deployer corba and autoconnect behaviour.

Submitted by Polch on Mon, 2009-11-30 10:09

If i use the deployer with this xml : 

    <!-- Camera -->
    <struct name="Camera" type="Video::Camera">
        <!-- Activity -->
        <struct name="Activity" type="PeriodicActivity">
            <simple name="Period" type="double"><value>5</value></simple>
            <simple name="Priority" type="short"><value>0</value></simple>
        </struct>
        <!-- Configure and Start and Connect -->
        <simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoConnect" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoStart" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        </struct>
 
    <!-- Reporter -->
    <struct name="Reporter" type="Video::ImageReporter">
        <!-- Connect to Peers -->
        <struct name="Peers" type="PropertyBag">
            <simple type="string"><value>Camera</value></simple>
        </struct>
        <!-- Configure and Connect Ports -->
        <simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoConnect" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoStart" type="boolean"><value>0</value></simple>
    </struct>

The connections are done automagicaly.

But if if divide this xml in two for deploying over two machines, i had to give ports to connect.

    <!-- Camera -->
    <struct name="Camera" type="Video::Camera">
        <simple name="Server" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <!-- Activity -->
        <struct name="Activity" type="PeriodicActivity">
            <simple name="Period" type="double"><value>4</value></simple>
            <simple name="Priority" type="short"><value>0</value></simple>
        </struct>
        <!-- Configure and Start and Connect -->
        <simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoConnect" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoStart" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
    </struct>

    <!-- Camera -->
    <struct name="Camera" type="CORBA">
        <!--                                              Give ports -->
        <struct name="Ports" type="PropertyBag">
                  <simple name="image" type="string"><value>img</value></simple>
                </struct>
        </struct>
 
    <!-- Reporter -->
    <struct name="Reporter" type="Video::ImageReporter">
        <!-- Connect to Peers -->
        <struct name="Peers" type="PropertyBag">
            <simple type="string"><value>Camera</value></simple>
        </struct>
        <!--                                              Give ports -->
        <struct name="Ports" type="PropertyBag">
            <simple name="image" type="string"><value>img</value></simple>
                </struct>
        <!-- Activity :  because events don t work over corba -->
        <struct name="Activity" type="PeriodicActivity">
            <simple name="Period" type="double"><value>4</value></simple>
            <simple name="Priority" type="short"><value>0</value></simple>
        </struct>
        <!-- Configure and Connect Ports -->
        <simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoConnect" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        <simple name="AutoStart" type="boolean"><value>0</value></simple>
    </struct>

Is it a feature ?

Thanks for your help.

If i use the deployer with this xml :

	<!-- Camera -->
	<struct name="Camera" type="Video::Camera">
		<!-- Activity -->
		<struct name="Activity" type="PeriodicActivity">
			<simple name="Period" type="double"><value>5</value></simple>
			<simple name="Priority" type="short"><value>0</value></simple>
		</struct>
		<!-- Configure and Start and Connect -->
		<simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
		<simple name="AutoConnect" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
		<simple name="AutoStart" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
        </struct>
 
	<!-- Reporter -->
	<struct name="Reporter" type="Video::ImageReporter">
		<!-- Connect to Peers -->
		<struct name="Peers" type="PropertyBag">

		<!-- Configure and Connect Ports -->
		<simple name="AutoConf" type="boolean"><value>1</value></simple>
