Represents an XML comment; that is, text between <!– … –>
This is an abstract class. You never use this directly; it serves as a parent class for the specific declarations.
Represents a full XML document, including PIs, a doctype, etc. A Document has a single child that can be accessed by root(). Note that if you want to have an XML declaration written for a document you create, you must add one; REXML documents do not write a default declaration for you. See |DECLARATION| and |write|.
Represents a tagged XML element. Elements are characterized by having children, attributes, and names, and can themselves be children.
A class which provides filtering of children for Elements, and XPath search support. You are expected to only encounter this class as the element.elements object. Therefore, you are not expected to instantiate this yourself.
A class that defines the set of Attributes of an Element and provides operations for accessing elements in that set.
A parent has children, and has methods for accessing them. The Parent class is never encountered except as the superclass for some other object.
Templates are used to match tuples in Rinda.
Documentation?
TupleSpaceProxy allows a remote Tuplespace to appear as local.
A TemplateEntry is a Template together with expiry and cancellation data.
Documentation?
A NotifyTemplateEntry is returned by TupleSpace#notify and is notified of TupleSpace changes. You may receive either your subscribed event or the ‘close’ event when iterating over notifications.
See TupleSpace#notify_event for valid notification types.
ts = Rinda::TupleSpace.new observer = ts.notify 'write', [nil] Thread.start do observer.each { |t| p t } end 3.times { |i| ts.write [i] }
Outputs:
['write', [0]] ['write', [1]] ['write', [2]]
The Tuplespace manages access to the tuples it contains, ensuring mutual exclusion requirements are met.
The sec option for the write, take, move, read and notify methods may either be a number of seconds or a Renewer object.
