Detailed Description

Make Connections through Beacon.

Member Function Documentation

◆ connect()

virtual BWORD fe::ext::GuidePostI::connect ( String a_configuration )

pure virtual

connect to the Beacon server

The configuration string is currently just an IP address, but this may be extended in the future.

An empty configuration string will use default settings.

Returns FALSE if no connection could be made.

Implemented in fe::ext::GuidePostNetHost.

◆ connectToSpace()

virtual sp<StateCatalog> fe::ext::GuidePostI::connectToSpace ( String a_space )

pure virtual

find and connect to space

Find a match space in beacon nodes and connect. A StateCatalog of the appropriate implementation is returned. If no such space exists or the connection failed, an invalid reference is returned.

Implemented in fe::ext::GuidePostNetHost.
