Notification Channel - Java API

2. Getting Started At the console open up:
ACS/LGPL/CommonSoftware/acscourse/ws/src/alma/ACSCOURSE_MOUNT/MountSupplier.java
ACS/LGPL/CommonSoftware/acscourse/ws/src/alma/ACSCOURSE_MOUNT/MountConsumer.java

3. What files needs to be created?
An IDL file containing the definition of a struct the NC will send/receive.
An instance of the supplier or consumer objects (or a derived class…)

4. What is Gained By Using Java
A complete implementation of the ACS API.
An extremely powerful Supplier class when compared to C++.
It’s harder to write buggy code (i.e., segfaults relating to the C++ API occur often).
Simulations outside of CORBA using the Publisher/Receiver classes. Please see the notification channel document for specific details.

7. Makefile Targets
There is nothing special that has to be used for the Java NC API. Simply
compile the Java files using the “normal” Java targets.

8. What Methods are Available in the Consumer and Supplier Classes?
Exactly the same methods discussed in the Python Notification Channel presentation.
