9 my $d = new Net::HL7::Daemon( LocalPort => 12002, Listen => 5 );
10
12 The Net::HL7::Daemon class provides a Daemon, roughly based on the well
13 known HTTP::Daemon class. The daemon wraps IO::Socket::INET so that
14 incoming connections are returned as Net::HL7::Daemon::Client objects.
15 Other than that the Daemon class doesn't do all that much. However,
16 this allows you to use the Daemon class as a base for more elaborate
17 servers, like preforking or multi-threaded servers. See the Perl
18 Cookbook for examples on this, and think Net::HL7::Daemon where you see
19 IO::Socket.
20
22 $d = new Net::HL7::Daemon()
23 Create a new instance of the Daemon class. Arguments are the same
24 as for the IO::Socket::INET. Default settings are: Listen =
25 SOMAXCONN, Proto = tcp, Reuse = 1.
26 accept([$pkg])
28 This method is the same as IO::Socket::accept but returns an
29 Net::HL7::Daemon::Client reference. It returns undef if you
30 specify a timeout and no connection is made within that time. In a
31 scalar context the returned value will be a reference to a object
32 of the Net::HL7::Daemon::Client class which is another
33 IO::Socket::INET subclass. In a list context a two-element array
34 is returned containing the new Net::HL7::Daemon::Client reference
35 and the peer address; the list will be empty upon failure.
36 getHost()
38 Returns the host where this daemon can be reached.
39 getPort()
41 Returns the port on which this daemon is listening.
42
44 Net::HL7::Daemon::Client
45
47 The Net::HL7::Daemon::Client is also a IO::Socket::INET subclass.
48 Instances of this class are returned by the accept() method of
49 Net::HL7::Daemon.
50
52 $d = new Net::HL7::Daemon::Client()
53 Create a new instance of the Client class. Arguments are the same
54 as for the IO::Socket::INET. Normally, you shouldn't do this...
55 getRequest()
57 Get the current request on this client. The current request is
58 either the request that has been read by the getNextRequest()
59 method, or if that hasn't been called yet, the request read from
60 the socket. The latter is implemented by calling getNextRequest. If
61 both fail, "undef" is returned. In case of failure, then the
62 Net::HL7::Daemon::Client object ($c) should be discarded, and you
63 should not call this method again.
64 Potentially, a HL7 client can receive more than one message. So
66 discard the client only when there's no more requests pending, or
67 the delivering service might experience timeouts.
68 getNextRequest()
70 Read data from the socket and turn it into an Net::HL7::Request
71 object which is then returned. It returns "undef" if reading of
72 the request fails. If it fails, then the Net::HL7::Daemon::Client
73 object ($c) should be discarded, and you should not call this
74 method again. Potentially, a HL7 client can receive more than one
75 message. So discard the client only when there's no more requests
76 pending, or the delivering service might experience timeouts.
77 sendAck($res)
79 Write a Net::HL7::Messages::ACK message to the client as a
80 response, to signal success. You may provide your own
81 Net::HL7::Response, but it is better to rely on the ACK that is
82 generated internally.
83 sendNack($errMsg, $res)
85 Write a Net::HL7::Messages::ACK message to the client as a
86 response, with the Acknowledge Code (MSA(1)) set to CE or AE,
87 depending on the original request, to signal an error.
88 sendResponse($res)
90 Write a Net::HL7::Reponse object to the client as a response. This
91 can hold an arbitrary HL7 message.
