Agent.Dispatcher

Agent.Dispatcher: Main Server Workflow

1. Dispatcher entry:

• AgentHTTP.Dispatcher->handler - called by mod_perl

• AgentJob.Dispatcher->execute_queue - called by mod_perl PerlCleanupHandler which is set by AgentHTTP.Dispatcher->handler for all apache requests

• AgentEmbed.Dispatcher->call_task - nested dispatch ("calling" a task)

2. Agent.Dispatcher->process_request - The main loop does the following:

• Call $self->create_request on first iteration

• Call $req->set_task

• $task->execute($req)

• If Bivio.DieCode->SERVER_REDIRECT, then repeat

• Else, $req->process_cleanup

• Clear request

• Return Bivio.DieCode (if any)

3. Agent.Reply converts DieCode to server-specific return value
