Application Interconnect Handshake
This sequence of NetMsg exchanges represents the communications between an external application (App M) attempting to connect to a running Geometry Service (App GS). This sequence assumes success.
- App GS waits for incoming socket requests.
- App M creates a socket connection to App GS.
- App GS accepts the socket connection.
- App M and App GS are now connected at the socket level.
- App M sends a RemHostNameSET NetMsg to App GS.
- App GS checks its RemHostName list for duplicates.
- App GS sends a RemHostNameSETOK NetMsg to App M.
- App GS sends a RemHostNameSET NetMsg to App M.
- App GS waits for App M to send a RemHostNameSETOK NetMsg.
- App M sends a RemHostNameSETOK NetMsg.
- App M is now connected to the Geometry Service network.
- App M sends a NewSessionREQ NetMsg.
- App GS creates a new Session.
- App GS sends a NewSessionREQOK NetMsg.
Application Request For Geometry
This sequence of NetMsg exchanges represents the communications between an external application (App M) as it requests Geometry from the Geometry Service (App GS). This sequence assumes success.
