  <module>CosEventChannelAdmin_ProxyPullConsumer</module>
  <modulesummary>This module implements a ProxyPullConsumer interface which acts as a middleman between pull supplier and the event channel.</modulesummary>
  <description>
    <p>The ProxyPullConsumer interface defines the second step for connecting pull
      suppliers to the event channel. A proxy consumer is similar to a normal consumer,
      but includes an additional method for connecting a supplier to the proxy
      consumer.</p>
    <p>To get access to all definitions, e.g., exceptions,
      include necessary <c><![CDATA[hrl]]></c> files by using:<br></br><c><![CDATA[-include_lib("cosEvent/include/*.hrl").]]></c></p>
    <p>Any object that possesses an object reference that supports the ProxyPullConsumer
      interface can perform the following operations:</p>
  </description>
  <funcs>
    <func>
      <name>connect_pull_supplier(Object, PullSupplier) -> Return</name>
      <fsummary>Connect the pull supplier to the proxy pull consumer</fsummary>
      <type>
        <v>Object       = #objref</v>
        <v>PullSupplier = #objref of PullSupplier type</v>
        <v>Return = ok | {'EXCEPTION', E}</v>
        <v>E = #'CosEventChannelAdmin_AlreadyConnected'{} | #'CosEventChannelAdmin_TypeError'{}</v>
      </type>
      <desc>
        <p>This operation connects PullSupplier object to the ProxyPullConsumer object.
          If a nil object reference is passed CORBA standard <c><![CDATA[BAD_PARAM]]></c> exception 
          is raised. If the ProxyPullConsumer is already connected to a PullSupplier,
          then the <c><![CDATA[CosEventChannelAdmin_AlreadyConnected]]></c> exception is raised.
          Implementations of ProxyPullConsumers may require additional interface
          functionality; if these requirements are not met the 
          <c><![CDATA[CosEventChannelAdmin_TypeError]]></c> exception will be raised.</p>
      </desc>
    </func>
    <func>
      <name>disconnect_pull_consumer(Object) -> Return</name>
      <fsummary>Disconnect the ProxyPullConsumer object from the event channel.</fsummary>
      <type>
        <v>Object = #objref</v>
        <v>Return = ok</v>
      </type>
      <desc>
        <p>This operation disconnects proxy pull consumer from the event channel and
          sends a notification about the loss of the connection to the pull supplier
          attached to it.</p>
      </desc>
