NAME

Pots::Thread::MethodServer - Perl ObjectThreads server class for exposing classes to other threads.

SYNOPSIS

    use Pots::Thread::MethodServer;

    my $ms = Pots::Thread::MethodServer(cclass => 'Some::Class');
    $ms->start();

    my $cli = $ms->client();

    $cli->method1($arg1);
    $cli->method2();

    $ms->stop();

DESCRIPTION

This class starts a thread and exposes an object to other threads through a Pots::Thread::MethodClient object. Using that client object, you can call methods as if your were using a locally created object. All method calls are transparently forwarded to the server thread.

This class is a subclass of Pots::Thread.

METHODS

new (cclass => 'Some::Class'): Creates a new thread which will load and instantiate an object of class "Some::Class".
start (): Following the behavior of the Pots::Thread class, you must call "start()" to start the server thread.
stop (): Calling this method will stop the server thread.
client (): This method returns an object of class Pots::Thread::MethodClient, which allows you to transparently call methods of the "Some::Class" object in the server thread.
