Description

the idea is that we want to provide a kind of config server in rsb. however we do not want that clients are intrinsically coupled to rsb already for this. hence. provide a generic interface for this and add the config file and environment parser to implement this interface

History

#1 Updated by J. Moringen over 12 years ago

Does "configuration" refer to framework aspects (i.e. transports, converters, etc.) or is something like the ROS ParameterServer meant? Or both?

Also, if I understand the configuration handling part of proposal correctly, the C++ implementation already has something similar in form of the OptionHandler interface.

#2 Updated by J. Wienke over 12 years ago

yes. it is about parameters for clients in the first place and not about the rsb config itself. the motivation was that several clients share the same parameters .

i don't know how sophisticated the option handler interface is? eg does it allow changes of options afterwards? or can we use protocol buffers as values? also, where do you register the handler?

Why is this issue associated to RSC, then?

Now, that the goal has been clarified, I wouldn't see OptionHandler as being related to this issue anymore.

  • Status changed from New to Rejected

This will be handled in Robotics Systems Parameters. New issues can be opened for RSC/RSP integration.

Reopen, if you disagree.
