fferpcore.MessageDescription

global inherited sharing class MessageDescription

This class defines the content and layout of a message produced by a publication. It is created returned from the Field.getDescription methods. { "correlationId" : "Correlation Id - required for all messages" "body" : "Body - Map of the data that would be sent in the message body" }

Enums

NodeType

Value Description
SCALAR_NODE A single scalar value representing a single keyed value in the message.
MAP_NODE A container node that contains many keyed nodes. The child nodes preserve order.
LIST_NODE A container node that contains many keyed nodes. Used to build arrays for multiple rows.

Methods

MessageDescription

global MessageDescription(fferpcore.Context.Source correlation, fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node body, fferpcore.Context rootContext)

This constructor is used to create a description of the message sent by the publication to the subscription. The actual structure of the message is defined by the body parameter.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
correlation fferpcore.Context.Source Contains a field to be used as the correlation Id.
body fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node When deserialized this object represents the message that will be sent.
rootContext fferpcore.Context The SObject this MessageDescription is associated with.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

//The unique identifier field for this message
fferpcore.Context.Source correlation = new fferpcore.Context.SObjectSource(ExampleObject__c.EmployeeId__c);

//The body which will contain the name and email associated to ExampleObject__c which sends the message
fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node body = new fferpcore.MessageDescription.MapNode()
  .withScalarChild('Name', ExampleObject__c.Name)
  .withScalarChild('Email', ExampleObject__c.Email__c);

//The SObject that this message is associated to
fferpcore.Context rootContext = new fferpcore.Context.SObjectContext(ExampleObject__c.SObjectType);

fferpcore.MessageDescription description = new fferpcore.MessageDescription(correlation, body, rootContext);

getCorrelation

global fferpcore.Context.Source getCorrelation()

This method returns the source of the message description which represents the correlation Id of a message. It should be a unique field. All messages with the same correlation Id are interpreted as relating to the same object in the publishing product. For example, if it is the EmployeeId of a worker, then it can be used to find all messages relating to that worker.

Return Value

This service returns a Context.Source.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

fferpcore.MessageDescription description = new fferpcore.MessageDescription(correlation, body, rootContext);

fferpcore.Context.Source returnValue = description.getCorrelation();

getBody

global fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node getBody()

This method returns the root node associated with this description. It represents the structure of the data to be sent in the message body.

Return Value

This service returns a MessageDescription.Node object.

fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node

global inherited sharing abstract class Node

This class represents a value in the message. It takes a source that tells the Node where its data comes from. Node cannot be instantiated, and should not be directly subclassed outside of Foundations. People who wish to write custom Nodes must extend one of our concrete Node types depending on the shape of data that their Node represents.

Methods

mergeNode

global abstract fferpcore.MessageDescription.DeclarativeMergeResult mergeNode(List<String> path, fferpcore.MessageDescription.DeclarativeMergeRequest request)

This abstract method should be overridden by any class that extends MessageDescription.Node. Calling mergeNode on a ScalarNode will return an error result. Calling mergeNode on a MapNode will attempt to add a Node to the message tree. The result indicates whether the node was successfully added and, if it was, contains the new node. This method is used by the publication description user interface and is not intended for use elsewhere.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
path List<String> A JSON path indicating where the node is to be added.
request fferpcore.MessageDescription.DeclarativeMergeRequest A request containing the child node.

Return Value

This service returns a DeclarativeMergeResult object.

accept

global abstract Object accept(fferpcore.MessageDescriptionVisitor visitor, Object memento)

This abstract method must be overridden by all classes extending MessageDescription.Node. Implementing methods should follow the visitor pattern; they should call visit on the visitor parameter, passing in themselves and the memento object.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
visitor
memento

Return Value

This service returns an Object object.

Sample Code

//Note: This sample code is for demonstration purposes only. It is not intended for
//use in a production environment, is not guaranteed against defects or errors, and
//is in no way optimized or streamlined.

/**
 * Only counts the leaf nodes.
 */

    }

    public override Object visit(fferpcore.MessageDescription.MapNode mapNode, Object args)
    {
        for(fferpcore.MessageDescription.NamedNode namedNode : mapNode.getChildren())
        {

    }
} 

fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node node = getNode(); //get a node from somewhere
CounterVisitor visitor = new CounterVisitor();
node.accept(visitor, null);
Integer numLeaves = visitor.count;

prepare

global abstract void prepare(fferpcore.DataSource dataSource)

This abstract method must be implemented on every class that extends MessageDescription.Node. Each node contains a Context.Source. This method calls prepare on that source, passing in the DataSource. Calling this method is required before the message can be built. Nodes are responsible for calling prepare on any children they might have.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
dataSource fferpcore.DataSource A container for the SObject used to populate the message.

    messageRequests.add(messageRequest);
}

//we now have some messaging requests, ready to go.

build

global abstract void build(JSONGenerator generator, fferpcore.DataSource.Row row)

This abstract method should be overridden by any class that extends MessageDescription.Node. However there are default implementations in fferpcore.MessageDescription.ScalarNode and MessageDescription.MapNode. This method uses the message structure to write the data in the row parameter to the supplied JSONGenerator.

Input Parameters

Name Type Description
generator JSONGenerator This will contain the message when finished.
row fferpcore.DataSource.Row The row contains the data to be built into the message.

fferpcore.MessageDescription.DeclarativeMergeResult

global inherited sharing class DeclarativeMergeResult

This result contains the result of calling mergeNode on a MessageDescription.Node. If the merge was successful the result contains the child node. If the merge was not successful, the result contains a String detailing the problem.

Methods

DeclarativeMergeResult

global DeclarativeMergeResult(Boolean passed, fferpcore.MessageDescription.Node node)

This constructor is used to create a successful merge result. The resulting object acts as a wrapper for the child node that was added.
