Kamaelia.Protocol.FortuneCookieProtocol.FortuneCookieProtocol

class FortuneCookieProtocol(Axon.Component.component)

FortuneCookieProtocol([debug]) -> new FortuneCookieProtocol component.

A protocol that spits out a random fortune cookie, then terminates.

Keyword arguments: - debug -- Debugging output control (default=0)

Inboxes

• control : Secondary inbox often used for signals. The closest analogy is unix signals
• inbox : Default inbox for bulk data. Used in a pipeline much like stdin

Outboxes

• outbox : Default data out outbox, used in a pipeline much like stdout
• signal : The default signal based outbox - kinda like stderr, but more for sending singal type signals

Methods defined here

__init__(self, debug)

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see x.__class__.__doc__ for signature

initialiseComponent(self)

Initialises component. Sets up a ReadFileAdapter to read the result of running 'fortune'.

mainBody(self)

Main body.

All the interesting work has been done by linking the file reader's output to our output. Messages sent to control are unchecked and the first message causes the component to exit.
