rad Namespaces

Objects in the rad namespace can be managed either as a set of statically installed objects or as a dynamic set of objects that are listed or created on demand.

Static Objects

rad_modapi.h declares two interfaces for statically adding objects to a namespace.

cont_insert() adds an object to the namespace. In turn, objects are created by calling instance_create() with a name, a pointer to the interface the object implements, and a pointer to object-specific callback data. For example:

i = instance_create("com.oracle.solaris.user:type=User,name=Kyle",
    &interface_User_svr, kyle_data);
cont_insert(&rad_container, i, error_return);

cont_insert_singleton() is a convenience routine that creates an object instance for the specified interface with the specified name and adds it to the namespace. The callback data is set to NULL.

cont_insert_singleton(&rad_container,
    "com.oracle.solaris.user:type=UserManager", &interface_UserManager_svr,
    error_return);
