Member Functions Documentation

CancelGetPosition()

void

CancelGetPosition

(

)

[pure virtual]

Cancellation method for GetPositionL. At any given point, for a particular SUPL Session, there can be one and only one outstanding request from SUPL Framework to POS Message Plug-in. If there is an abnormal termination of SUPL Session, SUPL Framework invokes the cancellation methods to cancel the outstanding request. If request cancellation is successful, POS Message plug-in completes the original request with KErrCancel. If there is no outstanding request, no action is taken.

CancelInitialize()

void

CancelInitialize

(

)

[pure virtual]

Cancellation method for InitializeL of POS Session . If request cancellation is successful, POS Message plug-in completes the original request with KErrCancel. If there is no outstanding request, no action is taken.

CancelSuplInfoRequest()

void

CancelSuplInfoRequest

(

)

[pure virtual]

Cancellation method for GetSuplInfoL.At any given point, for a particular SUPL Session, there can be one and only one outstanding request from SUPL Framework to POS Message Plug-in. If there is an abnormal termination of SUPL Session, the SUPL Framework invokes the cancellation methods to cancel the outstanding request. If request cancellation is successful, POS Message plug-in completes the original request with KErrCancel. If there is no outstanding request, no action is taken.

GetPositionL(TRequestStatus &, COMASuplPosition *)

void	GetPositionL	(	TRequestStatus &	aStatus,
			COMASuplPosition *	aPosition
		)	[pure virtual]

Asynchronous method to retrieve Position information from POS Message plug-in. SUPL Framework typically gets the position information in SUPL END message. However, position is an optional field in SUPL END and if position is not available in SUPL END, SUPL Framework requests the POS Message plug-in for position information.

This method returns an object of COMASuplPosition that contains the position information. Please note that SUPL Framework does not invoke this method to retrieve the position field in SUPL POS INIT message. Instead, GetSuplInfoL is invoked.

Parameters

TRequestStatus & aStatus	Status for the asynchronous request
COMASuplPosition * aPosition	Position information to be filled by the POS Message plugin

GetSuplInfoL(COMASuplInfoRequestList *, TRequestStatus &)

void	GetSuplInfoL	(	COMASuplInfoRequestList *	aInfoRequestList,
			TRequestStatus &	aStatus
		)	[pure virtual]

Asynchronous method that provides different POS parameters to SUPL Framework. GetSuplInfoL is an asynchronous method and is invoked by the SUPL framework to get information about location Capabilities supported by the control plane positioning protocol. Assistance Data Request, Velocity, Position estimates, POS Payload and Position are the other parameters that SUPL Framework requests for. The information provided by GetSuplInfoL is used in different SUPL messages.

SUPL Framework can retrieve a list of information elements from the POS module using this method. For example, when SUPL Framework is generating SUPL START or SUPL POS INIT message, it requires the set of capabilities supported by the underlying control plane positioning protocol.

POS Message plug-in should handle the COMASuplInfoRequestList as described below

Iterate through the COMASuplInfoRequest objects in COMASuplInfoRequestList
Determine the type of data object ( COMASuplInfoRequest::iType )
Use the Set method to fill up appropriate values in COMASuplInfoRequest
Complete the request once all the values are filled up

If the POS Message plug-in is in an inactive state due to a call to COMASuplPosSessionBase::SessionEnd() and SUPL Framework invokes GetSuplInfoL() , then, POS Message plug-in should complete the GetSuplInfoL with KErrOMASuplPosInActive. When the status returned by GetSuplInfoL is KErrOMASuplPosInacive, SUPL Framework discards the different data type objects in COMASuplInfoRequestList .

If the POS Message plug-in is able to provide all the mandatory parameters for all the data types present in COMASuplInfoRequestList , then, GetSuplInfoL should be completed with KErrNone.

If the POS Message being sent is the last POS message, then, the request is completed with KErrNone and iReqStatus in COMASuplInfoRequest is set to KErrOMASuplLastPosMsg

Parameters

COMASuplInfoRequestList * aInfoRequestList	The List of data elements to be filled up by POS Message Plug-in
TRequestStatus & aStatus	Status for the asynchronous request

GetSuplState(TOMASuplMsg &, TOMASuplMsgState &)

IMPORT_C void	GetSuplState	(	TOMASuplMsg &	aSuplMsg,
			TOMASuplMsgState &	aSuplMsgState
		)	const

POS Message plug-in can fetch SUPL Session state from the SUPL Framework by invoking COMASuplPosSessionBase::GetSuplState .

Parameters

TOMASuplMsg & aSuplMsg	indicates the SUPL Message currently being processed by the SUPL Framework
TOMASuplMsgState & aSuplMsgState	provides the state of the message like Created, Sent, Received.

HandleSuplPosMessageL(const COMASuplPosPayload *)

void

HandleSuplPosMessageL

(

const COMASuplPosPayload *

aPosPayload

)

[pure virtual]

Method to handle the POS Payload in COMASuplPosHandlerBase implementation. HandleSuplPosMessageL is a synchronous method and is invoked by the SUPL framework when it receives a SUPL POS message from the network. HandleSuplPosMessageL is responsible for processing the POS Payload in the SUPL POS Message.

When SUPL Framework receives SUPL POS Message from the network, the POS Payload is forwarded to POS Message plug-in by invoking the HandleSuplPosMessageL method. HandleSuplPosMessageL is a synchronous method and POS Message plug-in should make a copy of the SUPL POS Payload and return control to SUPL Framework immediately to facilitate processing of other SUPL POS messages that the SUPL Framework may receive from the network. SUPL Framework destroys the SUPL POS message payload as soon as POS Message plug-in returns the HandleSuplPosMessageL call.

As a guideline, if there is long processing involved in the implementation of HandleSuplPosMessageL, it should make use of active objects. The entire POS Payload is provided to the POS Message plug-in as an argument. HandleSuplPosMessageL does not have a return value and therefore, SUPL Framework does not handle any POS payload processing errors.

Parameters

const COMASuplPosPayload * aPosPayload

POS Payload to be handled by the POS Message plug-in

InitializeL(const TInt, TRequestStatus &)

void	InitializeL	(	const TInt	aRequestID,
			TRequestStatus &	aStatus
		)	[pure virtual]

Asynchronous method that initializes the COMASuplPosSessionBase implementation. InitializeL is invoked by SUPL framework either after POS session object creation or when the POS session object needs re-initialization. There will be instances when the SUPL framework will re-use the POS session object with a new SUPL session. Under such conditions, SUPL framework re-initializes the POS session object with InitializeL method.

When the SUPL protocol is used to tunnel the control plane location protocol, there is a RequestID sent to the SUPL subsystem through the SUPL Terminal Initiation API, by the licensee Initiation Client. SUPL Framework forwards this RequestID to the POS Message plug-in so that the SUPL Session meant to carry messages for a particular control plane session is identified.

If the licensee Initiation Client does not initiate the SUPL Session, then SUPL Framework sets RequestID to a default value of zero.

If the SUPL Framework wants to re-use an existing POS Session for a new SUPL Session, it re-initializes the POS Session object with a RequestID provided by SUPL Client. Soon after creation of SUPL POS Session, the SUPL Framework has to invoke InitializeL() . If SUPL Framework performs any operation before invoking InitializeL() , POS Message plug-n returns an error value, KErrOMASuplPosInActive.

Similarly, when the SUPL Framework wants to re-use a terminated POS Session ( COMASuplPosSessionBase::SessionEnd() ) for a new SUPL Session, it has to invoke InitializeL() before performing any other operation on the POS Session. If SUPL Framework invokes any other method like GetSuplInfoL() on a terminated session, POS Session will return KErrOMASuplPosInActive as the error value.

At any given instance of time, there can be one and only one outstanding asynchronous request from SUPL Framework to POS Message plug-in. When SUPL Framework wants to re-initialize a POS Session, SUPL Framework will cancel any possible outstanding request to POS Session and then invoke InitializeL.

Parameters

const TInt aRequestID	A unique identifier that identifies the POS Session with a particular SUPL Session
TRequestStatus & aStatus	Staus for the Asynchronous request to indicate completion of InitializeL.

SessionEnd()

void

SessionEnd

(

)

[pure virtual]

Method to End the SUPL POS Session. SessionEnd is a synchronous method invoked by SUPL framework to end the SUPL Session, during which the POS Session object may perform clean up operation for releasing the resources.

If there is an outstanding asynchronous request from SUPL Framework, it is the responsibility of the POS Message plug-in to Cancel the request when SessionEnd is invoked

SessionEnd method indicates that the SUPL Session has come to an end and the only operations that can be performed after this method call is InitializeL. When SUPL Framework invokes SessionEnd, the POS Message plugin should not delete the POS Session.

SetPosMethodAndAllowedCapabilities(TOMASuplAllowedCapabilities, TOMASuplPositioningMethod)

IMPORT_C void	SetPosMethodAndAllowedCapabilities	(	TOMASuplAllowedCapabilities	aAllowedCapabilities,
			TOMASuplPositioningMethod	aPosMethod
		)	[virtual]

Synchronous method that is used to set the allowed capabilites and the positioning method. SetPosMethodAndAllowedCapabilities is a synchronous method and is invoked by the SUPL framework to set allowed capabilites and the positioning method.

SUPL Framework can set the allowed capabilites and positioning method for use by the Pos Message Plugin using this method.

Parameters

TOMASuplAllowedCapabilities aAllowedCapabilities	The allowed capabilites for the client.
TOMASuplPositioningMethod aPosMethod	The positioning method to be used when making the position request.

SetSLPAddressUsed(const TDesC &)

IMPORT_C void

SetSLPAddressUsed

(

const TDesC &

aServerAddress

)

[virtual]

Synchronous method that is used to set the SLP Address of the server used. SetSLPAddressUsed is a synchronous method and is invoked by the SUPL framework to set the SLP Address of the server being used in current session.

SUPL Framework can set the SLP Address being used for this session for use by the Pos Message Plugin through this method.

Parameters

const TDesC & aServerAddress

The SLP Address of the server that is being currently used for this session.

SetSuplState(TOMASuplMsg, TOMASuplMsgState)

IMPORT_C void	SetSuplState	(	TOMASuplMsg	aSuplMsg,
			TOMASuplMsgState	aSuplMsgState
		)

Whenever there is a change in state of the SUPL Session in SUPL Framework, SUPL Framework sets the SUPL State in COMASuplPosSessionBase using the SetSuplState method.

Parameters

TOMASuplMsg aSuplMsg	indicates the SUPL Message that is currently being processed by the SUPL Framework.
TOMASuplMsgState aSuplMsgState

SuplObserver()

IMPORT_C MOMASuplObserver *

SuplObserver

(

)

[virtual]

Method to retrive the Supl Observer set through the overloaded constructor

Member Enumerations Documentation

Enum TOMASuplMsg

Enumeration for SUPL message type. SUPL Framework informs POS Message plug-in about the change in state of SUPL Session through a combination of values in TOMASuplMsg and TOMASuplMsgState. For example, when SUPL Framework sends SUPL START to SLP, SUPL Message type is set to EOMASuplStart and Message state is set to EOMASuplSent. SUPL Framework invokes SetSuplState to set the state of SUPL Session. POS Message plug-in can invoke GetSuplState the retrieve the state of SUPL Session in SUPL Framework
