Interface RequestTemplate

public interface RequestTemplate

This class provides a handle for a request template.

Request templates are obtained from a Session and should be always used with the session that creates the template. When a session is terminated, any request templates associated with that session become invalid. Results of sending or canceling of invalid requests templates is undefined.

In order to send a request represented by a template, the Session.sendRequest(com.bloomberglp.blpapi.RequestTemplate, com.bloomberglp.blpapi.CorrelationID) method should be called with the 'RequestTemplate' object passed as the first argument.

All handles should be closed by calling close() method for releasing resources when a request template is not longer needed.

Usage example: RequestTemplate requestTemplate = session.createSnapshotRequestTemplate( "//blp/mktdata/ticker/IBM US Equity, statusCorrelationId, identity); session.sendRequestTemplate(requestTemplate); requestTemplate.close();

Check Session.createSnapshotRequestTemplate(String, CorrelationID, Identity) for details about creation and management of snapshot request templates.
