Bonobo Activation API Reference Manual |
---|
Bonobo Activation also has a set of asynchronous activation interfaces so that you do not need to block
on activation calls. The CORBA level is pretty simple: the activation context has a set of
_async
calls: OAF_ACtivationContext_activate_async
and OAF_ACtivationContext_activate_from_id_async
. Both of those calls
take an OAFActivationCallback CORBA object as parameter. This object, which is supposed to
be implemented by client applications (it is actually implemented in liboaf) will receive
CORBA calls when the activation is finished:
module OAF { interface ActivationCallback { oneway void report_activation_failed (in string reason); oneway void report_activation_succeeded (in ActivationResult result); }; };
Of course, libbonobo-activation provides comvenient wrappers for those CORBA functions. Those are named
bonobo_activation_activate_async
and
bonobo_activation_activate_from_id_async
.
