## Detailed Description

Reifies a method into a request. Subclasses must provide the necessary state and behavior.

An ACE_Method_Request is inserted in an ACE_Activation_Queue, where it is subsequently removed by a scheduler object (often derived from ACE_Task), which invokes the `call()` method.

This class is discussed in depth in the Active Object chapter of POSA2.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ACE_BEGIN_VERSIONED_NAMESPACE_DECL ACE_Method_Request::ACE_Method_Request | ( | unsigned long | priority = `0` | ) |

| Constructor.

ACE_Method_Request::~ACE_Method_Request | ( | void |  | ) | `[virtual]`

| Destructor.

ACE_Method_Request::ACE_Method_Request | ( | const ACE_Method_Request & |  | ) | `[private]`

| Disallow copying and assignment.

## Member Function Documentation

virtual int ACE_Method_Request::call | ( | void |  | ) | `[pure virtual]`

| Invoked by the scheduler to execute the request. This method must be implemented by the subclass to perform the desired actions. Returns: int; not interpreted by ACE. The scheduler class must decide the meaning of this return value and act on it if needed.

void ACE_Method_Request::operator= | ( | const ACE_Method_Request & |  | ) | `[private]`

void ACE_Method_Request::priority | ( | unsigned long | prio | ) |

  | Set priority. Priority values are user-defined. The default (set in the constructor) is 0. The priority value is used in the ACE_Activation_Queue::enqueue() method to order the method requests in the queue by priority. 0 is the lowest priority. Parameters:
  | prio | unsigned long, the new priority value for this object.
See also: ACE_Activation_Queue::enqueue

unsigned long ACE_Method_Request::priority | ( | void |  | ) | const

| Get priority.

## Member Data Documentation

unsigned long ACE_Method_Request::priority_`[protected]`
