=head1 NAME
FML::Process::Flow - the process flow
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use FML::Process::Flow;
FML::Process::Flow::ProcessStart($obj, $args);
where C<$obj> is an FML::Process::C<something> object and
C<$args> is HASH REFERENCE.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module describes the fml program flow. All methods, even if
dummy, should be implemented in each FML::Process::CLASS.
This flow is same among fml processes such as
programs kicked by MTA, command line interfaces and CGI's.
# create a new process object
my $process = $pkg->new($args);
# XXX private method to show help ASAP
# XXX we need to trap here since $process object is clarified after
# XXX $pkg->new() above.
$process->_trap_help($args);
# e.g. parse the incoming message (e.g. STDIN)
$process->prepare($args);
# validate the request, for example,
# permit post from the sender,
# check the mail loop or not ...
$process->verify_request($args);
# start main transaction
$process->run($args);
# closing the process
$process->finish($args);
# clean up tmporary files
$process->clean_up_tmpfiles();
=cut
# Descriptions: drive top level process flow
# 1. initialize processes and load configurations from *.cf
# switch to each process according with $0 and @ARGV.
# 2. parse the incoming message(mail)
# 3. start the main transaction
# lock, execute main routine, unlock
# 4. inform error messages, clean up and more ...
# Arguments: OBJ($pkg) HASH_REF($args)
# Side Effects: ProcessSwtich() is exported to main:: Name Space.
# Return Value: none
sub ProcessStart
{
my ($pkg, $args) = @_;
# create a new process object
my $process = $pkg->new($args);
# XXX private method to show help ASAP
# XXX we need to trap here since $process object is clarified after
# XXX $pkg->new() above.
$process->_trap_help($args);
# e.g. parse the incoming message (e.g. STDIN)
$process->prepare($args);
# validate the request, for example,
# permit post from the sender,
# check the mail loop or not ...
$process->verify_request($args);
# start main transaction
$process->run($args);
# closing the process
$process->finish($args);
# clean up tmporary files
$process->clean_up_tmpfiles();
# debug
$process->finalize();
