PublishingManager class Null safety

Handles the logic and workflow surrounding the message publishing and receipt process.

    It's probably worth going into a bit of the detail around publishing and Quality of Service levels
    as they are primarily the reason why message publishing has been split out into this class.

    There are 3 different QOS levels. QOS0 AtMostOnce(0), means that the message, when sent from broker to client, or
    client to broker, should be delivered at most one time, and it does not matter if the message is
    "lost". QOS 1, AtLeastOnce(1), means that the message should be successfully received by the receiving
    party at least one time, so requires some sort of acknowledgement so the sender can re-send if the
    receiver does not acknowledge.

    QOS 2 ExactlyOnce(2) is a bit more complicated as it provides the facility for guaranteed delivery of the message
    exactly one time, no more, no less.

    Each of these have different message flow between the sender and receiver.</para>
    QOS 0 - AtMostOnce
      Sender --> Publish --> Receiver
    QOS 1 - AtLeastOnce
      Sender --> Publish --> Receiver --> PublishAck --> Sender
                                 |
                                 v
                          Message Processor
    QOS 2 - ExactlyOnce
    Sender --> Publish --> Receiver --> PublishReceived --> Sender --> PublishRelease --> Reciever --> PublishComplete --> Sender
                                                                                              | v
                                                                                       Message Processor

connectionHandler ↔ IMqttConnectionHandler?
The current connection handler.
read / write
dataConverters ↔ Map<Type, Object>
Stores a cache of data converters used when publishing data to a broker.
read / write

read-only
publishedMessages ↔ Map<int, MqttPublishMessage>
Stores messages that have been pubished but not yet acknowledged.
read / write
publishEvent ↔ MessageReceived?
Raised when a message has been received by the client and the relevant QOS handshake is complete.

receivedMessages ↔ Map<int?, MqttPublishMessage>
Stores messages that have been received from a broker with qos level 2 (Exactly Once).

Methods

acknowledgeQos1Message(MqttPublishMessage message) → bool
Manually acknowledge a received QOS 1 message. Has no effect if manuallyAcknowledgeQos1 is not in force or the message is not awaiting a QOS 1 acknowledge. Returns true if an acknowledgement is sent to the broker.
handlePublish(MqttMessage? msg) → bool
Handles the receipt of publish messages from a message broker.
handlePublishAcknowledgement(MqttMessage? msg) → bool
Handles the receipt of publish acknowledgement messages.
handlePublishComplete(MqttMessage? msg) → bool
Handles a publish complete message received from a broker. Returns true if the message flow completed successfully, otherwise false.
handlePublishReceived(MqttMessage? msg) → bool
Handles publish received messages during processing of QOS level 2 (Exactly once) messages. Returns true or false, depending on the success of message processing.
handlePublishRelease(MqttMessage? msg) → bool
Handles the publish release, for messages that are undergoing Qos ExactlyOnce processing.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a non-existent method or property is accessed. [...]
inherited
publish(PublicationTopic topic, MqttQos qualityOfService, Uint8Buffer data, [bool retain = false]) → int
Publish a message to the broker on the specified topic. The topic to send the message to The QOS to use when publishing the message. The message to send. The message identifier assigned to the message.
override
toString() → String
A string representation of this object. [...]

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator. [...]
