Methods
  NameDescription
Protected methodAckAttrUpdate
Is called by BeginS2CTransaction(S2CTransactionStatus, Int32) (if this object is involved in the transaction) for each attribute involved in the server to component transaction - except if the transaction has been aborted.

If a notification cycle or an asynchronous rollback is performed, the attribute is actually modified if and only if this method returns true.

Public methodAckOpenView
This function is called by Rogue Wave Server in order to acknowledge or rollback a view opening performed with the acknoledged openView method.This function has an empty implementation and can be overriden.
Public methodAfterInit
Called immediately after an object has been created when a representation object is instantiated by the server.
Public methodBeforeDeletion
Called between the beginS2CUpdate and the endS2CUpdate in the transaction that delete the RpObject.
Public methodBeginC2SUpdate
Initializes a buffer for updates on representation objects.
Protected methodBeginS2CUpdate
Called by the transaction mechanism if this object is involved.
Protected methodDeletion
This hook method is called when the object is "deleted".

When the component receives the order of deletion or when the garbage collector reclaims the object.

Public methodDiscardC2SUpdate
Discards the modifications stored in the update buffer.
Public methodEndC2SUpdate
Commits the updates performed on the representation object by flushing the update buffer.
Protected methodEndS2CUpdate
Is called automatically once the server has finished updating a representation object after a server component transaction.

This method is empty.

Public methodExecAsyncCallback
This function executes a given function in asynchronous mode on the Server object associated with the representation object.
Public methodExecCallback
This function executes a given function in asynchronous mode on the Server object associated with the representation object.

Remarks

This class defines a generic API, on which the interaction protocol between a dynamic view server and its application components is based. Any representation object types that are referenced in a view specification must be implemented by a type that derives from this class. An instance of this class is configured by a representation object model specific to a representation.

A set of editing methods lets you create and update your representation objects. To actually update representation objects, you must redefine those methods. Symmetrically, this class defines a set of callback methods that should be invoked whenever a representation object is directly modified by an application component. These methods are responsible for sending modifications to the server.

The macros used in the C++ version of Rogue Wave Server to specify mappings (ILS_RP_ATTR_XXX, ILS_RP_DEFAULT_ATTR_XXX, etc.) are replaced by static methods with the same meaning. Typically, these "macros" are put into the static initializer of the corresponding representation class. You can also use the functions of the Mapping class to specify mappings.

public class RowRp
      : RpObject {
    ....
  public void SetParent(TableRp p) {
    ...
  }
  public void SetValue(int i, String val) {
    ...
  }
  public void SetValue(int i, int val) {
    ...
  }

  static RpRow() {
     ILS_RP_ATTR_REF("RowRp", "parent", "SetParent", "TableRp");
     ILS_RP_INDEXED_ATTR_STRING("RowRp", "column", "SetValue");
     ILS_RP_INDEXED_ATTR_INT("RowRp",    "column", "SetValue");
  }
};
