I originally posted this as a reply to an old post (13Dec05) so I think it may have been missed.
Here it is again:

Hi Vishnu,
Do you know if the Java client code works for asynchronous events?
I have a Java client and C++ agent working fine using a data channel, but have been unsuccessful with the event handling.
When I call the Java addEventListener, I get a message back from the agent saying listenerAccepted, but subsequent events from the agent report 'Could not find command handler'
I think this is because the ctxt="0", but from your notes below, it should be using the InterfaceID?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Here's a snip of my debug output:

Having this same context id in the response command, the client API will forward the response to the handler object registered while sending actual command. Please take a look at the TimeCollector::sendStopResponse() method for the implementation details in agent. On the client-side, look at Collector::stop() method impl on how an object is registered to receive response while sending the stop command.

As an agent may be sending several events, they can be grouped and is uniquely identified with the InterfaceID. This InterfaceID is a string defined by agent in the agent configuration file indicating that it supports the interface just like any other interface it supports. For a client to be able to receive events from a specific interface, it must register an event handler with the agent for that InterfaceID. And the registered event handler object will be called when an event belonging to this InterfaceID is received. On the agent side, EventProviderImpl provides the implementation for handling the event registration and dispatch mechanism. The agent only need to use the API to send events. I am attaching the modified SampleClient and TimeCollector samples to demonstrate the asynchronous event mechanism. Look for the sample code (for send
ing events from agent) in TimeCollector::sendCurrentTime(). And on the client side, there is a class TimeCollectorEventHandler for handling the events received. SampleClient.cpp contains calls for event registration. I will be checking-in this sample to CVS very soon.

David,

I just responded to your original message. Attaching the same response
below.

Can you please verify few things in your program and let me know?
Meanwhile I wll verify the Java Client support for event interface.

1. On the client side, check the interfaceID and listenerID in the
<addEventListener> command. The interfaceID should be
"com.davidr.taed.SampleAgentEvents". The listenerID value should be a
positive integer. This is the ID which represents the object that you are
registering as the event listener so that when an event is received the
client framework calls the listener using this ID. The listenerID is
automatically generated by the client framework. This listenerID becomes the
contextID or "ctxt" value in the event command coming from the agent (which
in your case is coming as zero).

For e.g. The command sequence would be
Client to Agent - Add Event Listener
<Cmd src="121" dest="118" ctxt="111">
<addEventListener iid="org.eclipse.tptp.eventProvider">
<interfaceID>com.davidr.taed.SampleAgentEvents</interfaceID >
<listenerID>1234</listenerID>
</addEventListener>
</Cmd>

Agent to Client - Listener Accepted response
<Cmd src="118" dest="121" ctxt="111">
<listenerAccepted iid="org.eclipse.tptp.eventProvider"></listenerAccepted>
</Cmd>

Agent to Client - Send the Event
<Cmd ctxt="1234" dest="121" src="118">
<log iid="com.davidr.taed.SampleAgentEvents">
<aLog>Target on port 2000 Received message msg Hello from workbench</aLog>
</log>
</Cmd>

2. In the C++ agent, you should call the Event Notification API as below.

CmdBlock* cmd = new CmdBlock();

//Initialize paramList for key value pairs
tptp_list_t* paramList = (tptp_list_t*)tptp_malloc( sizeof(tptp_list_t));
tptp_list_init(paramList);
...
//create and add parameters
....
cmd->setIID("com.davidr.taed.SampleAgentEvents");
cmd->setCommandName("log");
cmd->setParamList(paramList);

// Send the Event Notification to all the listener objects registered to
listen for this event interface
sendEventNotifications(cmd);


Thanks
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,
Thanks for the pointers. My apologies for the double posting.
It looks like the fault is in AgentImpl.addEventListener() - It does not add the listenerID.

I have used my own method:

private void addEventListener(String interfaceID, ICommandHandler listener) throws InactiveAgentException, NotConnectedException
{
long listenerId = getAgentController().getNextContextId();
getAgentController().getConnection().getContextMapper().addC ontext(listenerId, listener);

StringBuffer cmd = new StringBuffer("");
cmd.append("<addEventListener iid=\"org.eclipse.tptp.eventProvider\">");
cmd.append("<interfaceID>" + interfaceID + "</interfaceID>");
cmd.append("<listenerID>" + listenerId + "</listenerID>");
cmd.append("</addEventListener>");
((IAgent)agent).sendCommand(cmd.toString(), null);
}

and now it is working.
I also had to modify IAgentController.java and IConnection.java to get access to the contextMapper, so it is a bit of a hack.
Do you know a better solution?

David.

David,

Good to know that you got it to work. I have verified that the modified API
and implementation for event handling in Java client was not checked-in
during 4.1 release due to time constraints. This implementation will look
similar to C++ implementation. So, you don't need to hack the code. This
code most probably will be checked-in today. I will let you know once it is
available.

Thanks
Vishnu

David,

The code for the modified API and implementation is checked-in today. It
should be available in the next build. The new API is as below.

public long addEventListener(String interfaceID, ICommandHandler listener) ;
public void removeEventListener(String interfaceID, long listenerID) ;

The addEventListener() method now returns the listenerID of the object being
registered (listener passed as second parameter). This listenerID should be
passed to removeEventListener() to remove the listener from getting the
event notifications.
Please try after you get the changes and let us know.

Thanks
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,
Thank you - that works.
I'm still on the 4.1 build because my own code is still in development (read flaky) and I didn't want any other unknowns, so I had to pull in some other files to get agentImpl to compile.

Have you noticed any timing/inconsistent behaviour with the Agent Controller?

I have had to introduce a delay before calling addEventListener, otherwise the listenerAccepted message is not always returned.
I'm connecting to an embedded card, running Embedded XP on a Transmeta processor @ 800Mhz, so it's a bit slower than most desktops but no slouch.
After connecting to the Agent Controller, I start a process, which is not processor intensive, then get the agent, send a command to it, which just sets a local variable, then add the event listener.
If I don't sleep - currently 1 second - before addEventListener, then the command is ignored.
I have checked - using Ethereal - that the command is actually being sent out on the wire to the card, and it is a valid packet etc.
The Java client software is running on a 2.6GHz desktop.
Have you seen anything similar?
Here's some of the code:


agent = (ICollector)agentController.getAgent("com.davidr.taed.SampleAgent ",
"org.eclipse.tptp.platform.execution.client.agent.ICollector ");

// Tell the agent which port to use to talk to the target
if (Constants.TPTP_DEBUG)
System.out.println("Sending setTargetPort command from " + hostName);
int port = getExecutable().getListeningPort();
StringBuffer tempbuf = new StringBuffer("");
tempbuf.append("<setTargetPort iid=\"com.davidr.taed.SampleAgent\">" + "<targetPort>"
+ port + "</targetPort></setTargetPort>");
((IAgent)agent).sendCommand(tempbuf.toString(), new ICommandHandler()
{
public void incomingCommand(INode node, ICommandElement command)
{
String commandStr = new String(((CommandFragment)command).getCommandData());
System.out.println(hostName + " response to setTargetPort: " + commandStr);
}
});

try
{
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
if (Constants.TPTP_DEBUG)
System.out.println("Sending addEventListener from " + hostName);
((IAgent)agent).addEventListener("com.davidr.taed.SampleAgentEvents ", new ICommandHandler()
{
public void incomingCommand(INode node, ICommandElement command)
{
String commandStr = new String(((CommandFragment)command).getCommandData());
setEventData(commandStr);
if (Constants.TPTP_DEBUG)System.out.println(hostName + " SampleAgentEvents - " + commandStr);
}
});

}
if (Constants.TPTP_DEBUG) System.out.println(hostName + " Start agent running");
agent.run();

David,

I have tested one more time doing similar things you are doing - like
getAgent(), addEventListener() and run(), etc. But I didn't have any problem
with getting the listenerAccepted response and I don't have any sleep before
addEventListener call.

Just to get more information, I have modified the AgentImpl.java a little
bit to add a conditional check for listenerAccepted response command.
Attaching the modified file and please run your test again to see what
happens. While doing this test please remove the sleep you added in your
program.

But one thing to be noted is - since the client and AC/agent communication
is asynchronous in nature, whenever there is a need to get the response for
a command before going ahead with the execution and doing other things, we
should wait and check for the expected response until we receive it. The
best way to handle this is using semaphores, which is introduced in Java
1.5. We will probably implement this in future.

Please try and let me know the result.

Thanks
Vishnu

Also, please run the AC with it's log configuration set to "DEBUG" so that
you get more info in the log file. After running the client, open the
tptpAgentCtlr.log file in the bin directory and do a search for
"listenerAccepted" string. If you can locate it in the log file, atleast we
know if the agent/AC is sending the response command.

Thanks
Vishnu

Hi Vishnu,
The change to AgentImpl works reliably. I have tried it five times and it always succeeded - it's a bit time consuming because I have to shut everything down to re-run - a limitation in my test harness.
I normally run with the AC logging set to DEBUG, because the output is sometimes useful, but previously I had tried setting it to SIMPLE in case it was affecting the processor loading, but this made no difference.
When I had it set to DEBUG, and before your latest change to AgentImpl, I did check that the addEventListener command was being sent to the AC, and it reliably was, but there was, most times, no listenerAccepted response listed in the log file. Perhaps 1 in 10 worked.
I should add that I also run an identical agent and exe on the host machine - the same machine the Java client runs on, and have never had any event listener problems.

So the result of your change is odd - because you have added a delay after sending the command. But no matter, thank you for the fix.

I probably ought to add some checking to my code to ensure the command is accepted anyway - I only do it once at initialisation time at present.

David.
