sendWebStatistics();
The sendWebStatistics method of the Process class requests a target process to send a notification containing World Wide Web performance statistics.
The target process can be any current process, including the requesting process itself or a process executing on another node.
The target object for the notification is the Process instance of the process making the request.
Only processes using Web services send meaningful data. Other processes send the notification, but it does not contain any values.
The target process is temporarily activated or interrupted in order to send the notification. After sending the notification, it resumes whatever it was previously doing.
This method is asynchronous; that is, the sendWebStatistics method does not wait until the statistics have been received. The statistics are received as a notification some time after the sendWebStatistics method has been called.
The information in the notification relating to the Web performance statistics is shown in the following table.
| Parameter | Contains… |
|---|---|
| eventType | Process_Web_Stats_Event for Web statistics |
| target | Process instance of the process that made the request |
| userInfo | Statistical values encoded within a |
The process making the request should register to receive type Process_Web_Stats_Event (a global constant in the
self.beginNotification(process, Process_Web_Stats_Event,
Response_Continuous, 0);
To test whether a notification contains Web statistics information, the userNotification method of its Process instance should test whether the value of the eventType parameter is Process_Web_Stats_Event, which indicates a Web statistics notification.
The userInfo parameter of the notification should be passed as a parameter to the extractWebStatistics method, to extract the Web statistics as attributes in a
If the target process (the method receiver) is not a valid current process, an 1128 exception (
