Management Method Deferral
--------------------------
Key: QPID-1278
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-1278
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C++ Broker
Reporter: Matthew Farrellee
Management methods on a Manageable are either called automatically by the
ManagementAgent as they come in or via a polling mechanism. It is possible that
at the time of receipt of a method message the manageable may be unable to
perform the requested action. In such a case it is desirable for the manageable
to defer acting on the message. This could be performed as a STATUS_DEFER or
STATUS_REQUEUE status from the method implementation to the management agent.
The agent would then redeliver the method at a later date or in the case of
polled delivery on the next poll call, not before. In the case of non-polling
delivery there is potential for tight looping, which would either have to be
addressed or deferred itself. This feature is currently only desired in
conjunction with polled delivery.
