TibrvVcTransport

Class

Declaration

class com.tibco.tibrv.TibrvVcTransport
  extends TibrvTransport

Purpose

A virtual circuit transport object represents a terminal in a potential circuit.

Remarks

A virtual circuit transport can fill the same roles as an ordinary transport. Programs can use them to create inbox names, send messages, create listeners and other events.

Instead of a constructor, this class has two create methods. These two methods also determine the protocol role of the transport object—one method creates a terminal that accepts connections, and another method creates a terminal that attempts to connect.

The two terminals play complementary roles as they attempt to establish a connection. However, this difference soon evaporates. After the connection is complete, the two terminals behave identically.


Method	Description
TibrvVcTransport.createAcceptVc()	Create a virtual circuit accept object.
TibrvVcTransport.createConnectVc()	Create a virtual circuit connect object
TibrvVcTransport.getConnectSubject()	Return the connect subject of an accept terminal.
TibrvVcTransport.waitForVcConnection()	Test the connection status of a virtual circuit.

Broken Connection

The following conditions can close a virtual circuit connection:

•

Contact is broken between the object and its terminal.

•

The virtual circuit loses data in either direction (see DATALOSS on page 240 in TIBCO Rendezvous Concepts).

•

The partner program destroys its terminal object (or that terminal becomes invalid).

•

The program destroys the object.

•

The program destroys the object’s ordinary transport.

Direct Communication

Because virtual circuits rely on point-to-point messages between the two terminals, they can use direct communication to good advantage. To do so, both terminals must use network transports that enable direct communication.
