oracular (3) Net::Async::Tangence::Server.3pm.gz

NAME

       "Net::Async::Tangence::Server" - serve "Tangence" clients using "IO::Async"

DESCRIPTION

       This subclass of IO::Async::Listener accepts Tangence client connections.

PARAMETERS

       The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

       registry => Tangence::Registry
               The Tangence::Registry for the server's objects.

OVERRIDEABLE METHODS

       The following methods are provided but intended to be overridden if the implementing class wishes to
       provide different behaviour from the default.

   conn_rootobj
          $rootobj = $server->conn_rootobj( $conn, $identity )

       Invoked when a "GETROOT" message is received from the client, this method should return a
       Tangence::Object as root object for the connection.

       The default implementation will return the object with ID 1; i.e. the first object created in the
       registry.

   conn_permits_registry
          $allow = $server->conn_permits_registry( $conn )

       Invoked when a "GETREGISTRY" message is received from the client on the given connection object. This
       method should return a boolean to indicate whether the client is allowed to access the object registry.

       The default implementation always permits this, but an overridden method may decide to disallow it in
       some situations. When disabled, a client will not be able to gain access to any serverside objects other
       than the root object, and (recursively) any other objects returned by methods, events or properties on
       objects already known. This can be used as a security mechanism.
