Callback

From Indus Communities

The CallBack coordination style differs from the Master Worker style with respect to only one aspect, i.e., the block of business logic written in a CallBack method call is executed only if the result of the callback method call is non erroneous.

Syntax:

	Callback(agent | component.methodName(param_list); variable of 
                                                           method’s return type)
        {
	   // business logic
        }

where,

• agent and component are instances of type Agent and Component

Unlike the Broadcast, Blackboard/Agenda or Parallel Pipe styles of coordination, using Callback does not identify the responder's role and id since invoking a single, and not multiple or arrays of, agent or component instances is possible in Callback.

public Agent CallbackAgent
{
	public void setValue(int x);
	public int getValue();
	public void incrValue();
}
