Method Detail

nextPutField

boolean nextPutField(ChannelField channelField,
                     PVField pvField)

Provide the next set of data to put to the channel. The requester is expected to call the put method.

Parameters:

channelField - The channelField.

pvField - The interface for putting data.

Returns:

(false,true) if the requester (has,has not) obtained all the data. A value of true means that the requester wants to be called again for this data. The caller must call ChannelPut.nextDelayedPutField in order to access more data. This normally means that an array is being transfered and the requester is not able to handle the array as a single chunk of data.

Parameters:

Returns:

(false,true) if the requester (will not, will) call PutFactory.nextDelayedPutField again for this pvField.

putDone

void putDone(RequestResult requestResult)

The request is done. This is always called with no locks held.
