Using deployer to connect methods?

Submitted by Tinne De Laet on Fri, 2009-03-20 13:25

Hi,

so far I use the deployer to connect ports of my components, ...
I would also like to 'connect' methods. So far I'm using the following code in
my configureHook:

readMeasurement = this->getPeer("Reader")->methods()-
>getMethod<void(void)>("readMeasurement");

I would like to do this in my deployer. Is this functionality provided?

No. But it's indeed a common construction one wonders how to automate.

The deployer could only set this up if both caller and sender have this method
in their TaskContext interface. Which means that 'caller.readMeasurement()'
would be equivalent to 'Reader.readMeasurement()'. Wouldn't that lead to
confusion on the interface level ?
