Interface ISynchronizer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractComponentRepository

public interface ISynchronizer

A Synchronizer participates in system synchoronization. During a synchronization, a synchronizer may declare any number of resources invalid and subsequently perform synchronization post processing.

The synchronization implementation looks up all synchronizers and implements the following steps:

1. Pre-invalidation: Ask all synchronizers for invalid resources via the preInvalidation(ISynchronization) method
2. Invalidate all declared resources.
3. Completion:: Complete synchronization via the complete(ISynchronization) method.

Synchronizers have a priority. Synchronizers with higher priority will be called later during the pre-invalidation phase and they will be called earlier during the completion phase.

The following table lists priorities of common synchronizers:

Synchronizer	priority	preInvalidation	order	Completion	order
worker adapter	800		Reset worker side db
Components	550		Verify component query subscriptions at home and workers
Worker	500		Propagate invalidations to worker. Attain worker target states
Home	1		Attain home states (home_up)

Method Detail

preInvalidation

void preInvalidation(ISynchronization sync)

synchronizers implement this method to collect the set of components to invalidate and log messages to the end user.

complete

void complete(ISynchronization sync)

synchronizers implement this method to re-establish any desired system state after all invalidations have been performed. Note that the set of synchronizer in this call may be different to before, due to new system content.
