Interface simulator for test rig in data distribution service

摘要

A method of interface simulation is provided for enabling publication and subscription of messages for a given problem domain, without requiring development of software or code. The method includes identifying a set of messages using the DDS as a problem domain; generating said .java message class from said problem domain generated from a .idl file for Interface Definition Language (IDL); processing said .java message class by Java reflection; generating a plurality of .java message stubs generated in the IDL format of said problem domain; incorporating said plurality of .java message stubs into a .jar message class file by said Java reflection; and rendering a graphical display that enables an operator to select and edit a .java message object from said plurality of stubs in said .jar message class.

1. A computer-implemented method for testing a Data Distribution Service (DDS) interface for communicating with a DDS, said method comprising:
identifying a set of messages using the DOS as a problem domain each message written as a .idl file in an Interface Definition Language (IDL) format; generating a .java message class from said problem domain; processing said .java message class by Java reflection to determine class information; generating a plurality of .java message stubs in said IDL format of said problem domain based on said class information; incorporating said plurality of .java message stubs into a .jar message class file by said Java reflection; and rendering a graphical display that enables an operator to select and edit a .java message object from said plurality of stubs in said .jar message class as a selected stub message.
