Overview

TROWinMessageServer implements a server that uses Windows Messages to communicate between a client and a server on the same local machine.

Location


 

constructor Create  override

Standard component constructor

constructor Create(aOwner: TComponent)

Parameters:

  • aOwner: Owner

Active    (declared in TROServer)

Toggles whether the server ready to receive requests from clients. Depending on the server type, changing this property might open/close a network socket or otherwise toggle whether the server will process incoming requests.

property Active: Boolean read write

ActiveEventRepository

Represents the event repository provided by the server.

property ActiveEventRepository: TROEventRepository read write

Assign  override

Copies the contents of another, similar object.

procedure Assign(Source: TPersistent)

Parameters:

  • Source: Instance whose properties will be copied

CheckProperties  override

Validates the server properties.

procedure CheckProperties

DecryptStream (TStream, TStream)  protected overload    (declared in TROBaseConnection)

Decrypt stream

procedure DecryptStream(const Source: TStream; const Dest: TStream)

Parameters:

  • Source: Source
  • Dest: Destination

DecryptStream (TStream)  protected overload    (declared in TROBaseConnection)

Decrypt stream

procedure DecryptStream(const Stream: TStream)

Parameters:

  • Stream: Stream

DefaultResponse  protected    (declared in TROServer)

Holds the message that will be sent back to the client if it improperly "welcomes" the server.

property DefaultResponse: string read write

Dispatchers    (declared in TROServer)

Specifies how incoming requests will be processed and dispatched. Depending on the server type, one or multiple dispatchers can be configured to receive messages from the client. Each dispatcher consists of a Message and an optional Name. Also, each dispatcher can be individually enabled or disabled. Each server must have at least one dispatcher configured, in order to be able to process messages.

=Essential Sub-Properties=

  • Message specifies the message format to be used for this dispatcher.
  • Name specifies the name, or possibly the URL for the dispatcher.

In HTTP based servers (such as the TROIndyHTTPServer, the Name will be appended as folder to the server URL allowing the server to make multiple dispatchers available at different URLs.
