Hey Remy,
I'm trying to do a modularized system that communicates via IPC between all the modules.
I've got most of the big picture sorted out but there's a step that I'm missing cuz I don't know enough about Indy10's context lists to think about how to do it.
So here's the gist of the matter:
- A client connects to the server and sends a message/command that needs a reply
- The server packages that request inside an IPC message(Including an ID for the requester's context) and pushes it to the IPC system
- The IPC system reads that message, relays it to the module that should deal with it
- The module does it's work and then packages the result in an IPC message and pushes it to the IPC system
- The IPC system reads that message and relays it to the server module to deal with it
- And this step is where I'm stuck
I'm stuck cuz on step 6 cuz I don't know how to use the context ID to now send the answer.
Do I get the locked list in it's entirety, loop through it and then send the reply?
Is there an indexed property I can use?
And how do I do all this in a thread safe manner?
How would I go about it?
Many, MANY thanks in advance Remy!!
Cheers,
Gus
