Detailed Description

A JEventMessage is an interface used by JTransport for streaming individual events.

In other words, this assumes that event building is done upstream. Each JEventMessage will be inserted into its own brand new JEvent just like any other JObject. The implementor is responsible for figuring out the event and run numbers. The code for parsing the message payload could either be expressed as getter methods on the JEventMessage implementation, or in its own JFactory. If the message format is the same as the in-memory representation (non-portable but fast), the JEventMessage can be defined as a plain-old-data struct and the char* buffer obtained via reinterpret_cast.

Member Function Documentation

get_event_number()

virtual size_t JEventMessage::get_event_number ( ) const

pure virtual

Determine what the event number should be for the JEvent that gets emitted for this message.

This information should be available from the message payload. If not, return zero, in which case the JStreamingEventSource will issue an event number automatically.

get_run_number()

virtual size_t JEventMessage::get_run_number ( ) const

pure virtual

Determine what the run number should be for the JEvent that gets emitted for this message.

This information should be available from the message payload. If not, return zero, in which case the JStreamingEventSource will use the last known run number.
