Class ExternalSyncNodeDecl

java.lang.Object
  org.sandev.TaskHeap.ExternalSync.ExternalSyncNodeDecl

Direct Known Subclasses:

ExternalSyncNodeBase, ExternalSyncNodeInstance

public class ExternalSyncNodeDecl

extends java.lang.Object

Synchronize the time estimate of an external plan from the source plan. This includes fetching the estimated hours from the external project on demand, and subscribing to change notifications from an external project in the future.

Fetching the estimated hours on demand is done by parsing the information in the posted TaskHeapData.html report. In the future this could also be done by logging into the remote project as a Reader or Resource.

Retrieving the TaskHeapData.html file contents is a good job for something like the Apache HttpClient, but we have a goal of not relying on anything outside the JDK if at all possible, so that our SAND can be used freely without version conflicts or other issues. So the fetch is being done the long way.

inbound synchronous message calls:

• Ping onReceive(Ping msg)
  node instance configuration: incomingSyncPing
• ExternalPlanSync onReceive(ExternalPlanSync msg)
  node instance configuration: incomingSyncExternalPlanSync
