Detailed Description

Encapsulates all LBM messages.

Messages are delivered via the receiver callback. It is possible to retain a message for further processing after the receiver callback returns by calling promote() and saving the message. The application must call dispose() for each and every message when processing is completed. See .NET Message Reception.

Access message data via dataBuffer() and dataLength() to preserve "Zero Object Delivery" (ZOD). See Zero Object Delivery.

For older, object-based delivery (non-ZOD), you may access message data via data(), which creates a byte array object that contains the message data. This method has lower performance.

Exceptions
com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMExceptionInvalid argument or unexpected operational behavior has been encountered by unmanaged LBM C layer function.

LBMMessage com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMMessage.promote ( )

Inform UM that the application is going to retain ownership of a UM message object after the receiver callback returns.

This function should be called from inside a receiver callback function to prevent UM from automatically deleting the message when the callback function returns. This allows the message to be passed to a different part of the application, perhaps a different thread, for processing after the receiver callback returns.

Once promoted, the application has the responsibility to dispose of the message when it is finished with it by calling dispose(). See .NET Message Reception.

Note that this creates a new object, so delivery is no longer "zero object".

Note
the message must be promoted before being made available to the other parts of the application. For example, it would not be legal for a separate thread to start processing the message before the receiver callback called promote.
Warning
promote() is NOT thread safe; do not call it on the same message from multiple threads at the same time.
Returns
The promoted message. This will be a new message object, not the message object passed into the receiver callback. was called on.

)

Send a response for this request message.

Warning: It is not safe to call this method from a context thread callback.
Warning: You may be required to use GC.KeepAlive on the LBMMessage object after calling respond() in order to prevent premature garbage collection during execution of the respond() function call. Premature garbage collection can occur if there are no references made to the LBMMessage object following the respond() call.
Possible OR'd set of flag value include: LBM.SRC_NONBLOCK and LBM.SRC_BLOCK.

Parameters
dataData to send in this response
dataLengthNumber of bytes of data to send in this response
flagsFlags indicating various conditions
Exceptions
com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMExceptionInvalid argument or unexpected operational behavior has been encountered by unmanaged LBM C layer function.

References com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.EINVAL, com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.errorMessage(), com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.errorNumber(), and com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.MSG_REQUEST.

void com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMMessage.sendExplicitAck ( )

Send a consumption acknowledgement to the persistent Store.

This function is used in the Explicit Acknowledgments use case to signal consumption of the supplied message, and all unacknowledged messages sent before it. ume_explicit_ack_only (receiver) must be set to 1.

Warning
If explicit ACKs are used, the application must ensure that messages are ACKed in the order received. See ACK Ordering.

See Persistence Message Consumption for a full explanation of consumption acknowledgements.

Exceptions
com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMExceptionInvalid argument or unexpected operational behavior has been encountered by unmanaged LBM C layer function.

References com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.EINVAL, com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.errorMessage(), and com.latencybusters.lbm.LBM.errorNumber().

long com.latencybusters.lbm.LBMMessage.sequenceNumber ( )

LBM message (or message fragment) sequence number.

The sequence number of an LBM message is 32 bits. This field is a C#-style long int (64 bits). Therefore, LBM only recognizes the lower 32 bits of this field. When using hot-failover, this will be the hot failover sequence number when using 32 bit and be zero when using 64 bit. To get the original sequence number when using hot-failover, use the osqn() method.
