Initialize the Eftl instance.

Class variables

var CONNECTED
var CONNECTING
var DISCONNECTED
var DISCONNECTING
var RECONNECTING

Methods

async def connect(self, url, **kwargs)

Connect to an eFTL server.

This call returns immediately; connecting continues asynchronously. When the connection is ready to use, the eFTL library calls your on_connect method, passing a EftlConnection object that you can use to publish and subscribe.

When a pipe-separated list of URLs is specified this call will attempt a connection to each in turn, in a random order, until one is connected. A program that uses more than one server channel must connect separately to each channel.

Parameters

url

The call connects to the eFTL server at this URL. This can be a single URL, or a pipe ('|') separated list of URLs. URLs can be in either of these forms

ws://host:port/channel
wss://host:port/channel

Optionally, the URLs can contain the username, password, and/or client identifier

ws://username:password@host:port/channel?clientId=<identifier>
wss://username:password@host:port/channel?clientId=<identifier

kwargs :

auto_reconnect_attempts (int): Maximum number of reconnect attempts. The default is 256 attempts
auto_reconnect_max_delay (int): Maximum reconnect delay in milliseconds. The default is 30 seconds.
max_pending_acks (int): optional
                  Maximum number of unacknowledged messages allowed for the
                  client.
user : optional
            Login credentials to use if not found in the url.
password : optional
            Login credentials to use if not found in the url.
client_id : optional
           User-specified client identifier.
handshake_timeout : optional
             Seconds to wait for websocket handshake to complete.
login_timeout : optional
             Seconds to halt waiting for a login message reply. If a
             reply is not received in time, raise an EftlClientError.
polling_interval : optional
            Seconds to wait between each message reply check.
trust_all : true/false (optional)

class EftlConnection

A websocket wrapper exchanging eftl protocol messages with a server.

Different functions implement each of the types of protocol messages (e.g. publish, subscribe, disconnect). The messages are sent asynchronously, but by default these functions halt waiting for a reponse. The user may set a timeout for this waiting period if they desire.

Users also may specify callbacks to trigger when messages get delivered, fail to get delivered, etc.

Initialize the connection object, which is unconnected.

Methods

async def acknowledge(self, message)

Acknowledge this message.

Messages consumed from subscriptions with a client acknowledgment mode must be explicitly acknowledged. The eFTL server will stop delivering messages to the client once the server's configured maximum number of unacknowledged messages is reached.

Parameters

message : The message being acknowledged

Returns

async def acknowledge_all(self, message)

Acknowledge all messages up to and including this message.

Parameters

message : The message being acknowledged1

Returns

async def close_all_subscriptions(self)

Close all the subscriptions on this connection.

For durable subscriptions, this call will cause the persistence service to stop delivering messages while leaving the durable subscriptions to continue accumulating messages. Any unacknowledged messages will be made available for redelivery.

Programs receive subscription identifiers through their on_subscribe method.

async def close_subscription(self, subscription_id)

Close subscription for specified subscription identifier.

Programs receive subscription identifiers through their on_subscribe method.

async def create_kv_map(self, name)

Return a new EftlKVMap associated with this connection.

Parameters

name: name of the KVMap

Return

The KVmap object

def create_message(self)

Create an EftlMessage that can be used to publish or send request/replies.

Return

The EftlMessage Object

async def disconnect(self)

Disconnect from the eFTL server.

Programs may disconnect to free server resources.

This call returns immediately; disconnecting continues asynchronously.

When the connection has closed, the eFTL library calls your on_disconnect callback.

Return

def get_clientId(self)

Get the client identifier for this connection.

Return

The client's identifier.

def is_connected(self)

Determine whether this connection to the eFTL server is open or closed.

Return

True if this connection is open, False otherwise

async def publish(self, message, **kwargs)

Publish a one-to-many message to all subscribing clients. This call returns immediately; publishing continues asynchronously. When the publish completes successfully, the eFTL library calls your on_completel callback.

When communicating with EMS, to publish a messages on a specific EMS destination include the message field name _dest. To distinguish between topics and queues the destination can be prefixed with either "TOPIC:" or "QUEUE:", for example "TOPIC:MyDest" or "QUEUE:MyDest". A destination with no prefix is a topic.

example To publish a message on a specific EMS destination add a string field to the message; for example: message.set("_dest", "MyDest");

Parameters

message: Publish this message.

kwargs:

Callbacks:

   'on_publish(message):' A publish operation has completed successfully

   Parameters
   __________
   message: This message has been published.

   'on_error(connection, code, reason):' An error prevented an operation.
   Parameters
   ----------
   connection : connection object. For publish errors, this argument is the message that was not published. 
                                   For subscription errors, this argument is an object that represents 
                                   a subscription identifier.
   code: A code categorizes the error. Your program can use this value in its response logic.
   reason: This string provides more detail. Your program can use this value in error reporting and logging.

Return

ValueError: If the message size exceeds the maximum.
TypeError: If the message is not of type EftlMessage
ConnectionError: If the connection is closed.

async def reconnect(self)

Reopen a closed connection.

You may call this method within your on_disconnect method.

This call returns immediately; connecting continues asynchronously. When the connection is ready to use, the eFTL library calls your on_reconnect callback

Reconnecting automatically re-activates all subscriptions on the connection. The eFTL library invokes your on_subscribe callback for each successful resubscription.

Return

async def remove_kv_map(self, name)

Remove a EftlKVMap object.

Parameters

name : the name of the map

Return

async def send_reply(self, requestMessage, replyMessage, **kwargs)

Parameters

requestMessage: The reply message to send
replyMessage: The request msg
kwargs:
    Callbacks
        'on_complete(message):'
        Parameters
        ----------
            message: The reply message that completed successfully

Return

async def send_request(self, message, timeout, **kwargs)

Publish a request message.

This call returns immediately. When the reply is received the eFTL library calls your 'on_reply' callback.

Parameters

message: The request message to publish.
timeout: timeout seconds to wait for reply
kwargs:
    Callbacks:
        'on_reply(message):' A request operation has received a reply.
        Parameters
        ----------
            message: The reply message.

Returns

async def start_subscription(self, subscription_id)

Resume message delivery to the specified subscription if stopped.

Parameters

subscription_id: Subscription identifier of the subscription to start.

async def stop_subscription(self, subscription_id)

Stop message delivery to the specified subscription.

Parameters

subscription_id: Subscription identifier of the subscription to stop.

async def subscribe(self, **kwargs)

Subscribe to messages. Register a subscription for one-to-many messages. This call returns immediately; subscribing continues asynchronously. When the subscription is ready to receive messages, the eFTL library calls your on_subscribe callback.

A matcher can narrow subscription interest in the inbound message stream.

An acknowledgment mode for the subscription can be set to automatically acknowledge consumed messages, require explicit client acknowledgment of the consumed messages, or to disable message acknowledgment altogether. The default is to automatically acknowledge consumed messages.

When explicit client acknowledgment is specified the eFTL server will stop delivering messages to the client once the server's configured maximum number of unacknowledged messages is reached.

When communicating with EMS, to subscribe to messages published on a specific EMS destination use a subscription matcher that includes the message field name _dest. To distinguish between topics and queues the destination name can be prefixed with either "TOPIC:" or "QUEUE:", for example "TOPIC:MyDest" or "QUEUE:MyDest". A destination name with no prefix is a topic.

example To subscribe to messages published on a specific EMS destination, create a subscription matcher for that destination; for example: var matcher = '{"_dest":"MyDest"}';

Parameters

kwargs:

timeout : optional
    Number of seconds to halt waiting on acknowledgement from
    the server messaging.eftl.connect().

matcher : str, optional
    JSON content matcher to subscribe to.

type : {"standard", "shared", "last-value"}, optional
    Durable type.

key : optional
    The last-value index key, if <code>type</code> is "last-value".

durable : str, optional
    Name to give the durable.

ack_mode: client, None. Default is auto

Returns

sub_id: The subcription identifier of the new subscription.

Programs receive subscription identifiers through their methods.

Parameters

sub_id:  Subscription identifier of the subscription to delete.

Return

async def unsubscribe_all(self)

Unsubscribe from messages on all subscriptions. For durable subscriptions, this call will cause the persistence service to remove the durable subscription, along with any persisted messages.
