Signals

[Dmitry <dm...@pixoutserver.com>]

Hello All,

I'm new in thrift, reading documentation about thrift I can't find any analog for callback ( like signals in D-BUS ).
Does thrift provides callback methods ?

Inside my project time to time, server can notify client about some event. 
Which are best practices in case of thrift ?

Thanks

There are two big approaches to get a signal from a server to a client.
1. The "inverted call" approach.  Basically, your client calls the server, 
and the call doesn't complete immediately.  When your server wants to send 
a message to the client, it sets the return value of this "inverted call" 
appropriately, then completes.
2. More clients and more servers.  Each end of the connection can have 
both a client and a server.  The connecting side ( the "application" ) can 
send the connection info for it's server to the receiving side ( the 
"daemon" ).
