/**
|
|
* Message managers provide a way for chrome-privileged JS code to
|
|
* communicate with each other, even across process boundaries.
|
|
*
|
|
* Message managers are separated into "parent side" and "child side".
|
|
* These don't always correspond to process boundaries, but can. For
|
|
* each child-side message manager, there is always exactly one
|
|
* corresponding parent-side message manager that it sends messages
|
|
* to. However, for each parent-side message manager, there may be
|
|
* either one or many child-side managers it can message.
|
|
*
|
|
* Message managers that always have exactly one "other side" are of
|
|
* type nsIMessageSender. Parent-side message managers that have many
|
|
* "other sides" are of type nsIMessageBroadcaster.
|
|
*
|
|
* Child-side message managers can send synchronous messages to their
|
|
* parent side, but not the other way around.
|
|
*
|
|
* There are two realms of message manager hierarchies. One realm
|
|
* approximately corresponds to DOM elements, the other corresponds to
|
|
* process boundaries.
|
|
*
|
|
* Message managers corresponding to DOM elements
|
|
* ==============================================
|
|
*
|
|
* In this realm of message managers, there are
|
|
* - "frame message managers" which correspond to frame elements
|
|
* - "window message managers" which correspond to top-level chrome
|
|
* windows
|
|
* - "group message managers" which correspond to named message
|
|
* managers with a specific window MM as the parent
|
|
* - the "global message manager", on the parent side. See below.
|
|
*
|
|
* The DOM-realm message managers can communicate in the ways shown by
|
|
* the following diagram. The parent side and child side can
|
|
* correspond to process boundaries, but don't always.
|
|
*
|
|
* Parent side Child side
|
|
* ------------- ------------
|
|
* global MMg
|
|
* |
|
|
* +-->window MMw1
|
|
* | |
|
|
* | +-->frame MMp1_1<------------>frame MMc1_1
|
|
* | |
|
|
* | +-->frame MMp1_2<------------>frame MMc1_2
|
|
* | |
|
|
* | +-->group MMgr1
|
|
* | | |
|
|
* | | +-->frame MMp2_1<------->frame MMc2_1
|
|
* | | |
|
|
* | | +-->frame MMp2_2<------->frame MMc2_2
|
|
* | |
|
|
* | +-->group MMgr2
|
|
* | | ...
|
|
* | |
|
|
* | ...
|
|
* |
|
|
* +-->window MMw2
|
|
* ...
|
|
*
|
|
* For example: a message sent from MMc1_1, from the child side, is
|
|
* sent only to MMp1_1 on the parent side. However, note that all
|
|
* message managers in the hierarchy above MMp1_1, in this diagram
|
|
* MMw1 and MMg, will also notify their message listeners when the
|
|
* message arrives.
|
|
*
|
|
* A message sent from MMc2_1 will be sent to MMp2_1 and also notify
|
|
* all message managers in the hierarchy above that, including the
|
|
* group message manager MMgr1.
|
|
|
|
* For example: a message broadcast through the global MMg on the
|
|
* parent side would be broadcast to MMw1, which would transitively
|
|
* broadcast it to MMp1_1, MM1p_2. The message would next be
|
|
* broadcast to MMgr1, which would broadcast it to MMp2_1 and MMp2_2.
|
|
* After that it would broadcast to MMgr2 and then to MMw2, and so
|
|
* on down the hierarchy.
|
|
*
|
|
* ***** PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY WARNING *****
|
|
* Messages broadcast through the global MM and window or group MMs
|
|
* can result in messages being dispatched across many OS processes,
|
|
* and to many processes with different permissions. Great care
|
|
* should be taken when broadcasting.
|
|
*
|
|
* Interfaces
|
|
* ----------
|
|
*
|
|
* The global MMg and window MMw's are message broadcasters implementing
|
|
* nsIMessageBroadcaster while the frame MMp's are simple message senders
|
|
* (nsIMessageSender). Their counterparts in the content processes are
|
|
* message senders implementing nsIContentFrameMessageManager.
|
|
*
|
|
* nsIMessageListenerManager
|
|
* / \
|
|
* nsIMessageSender nsIMessageBroadcaster
|
|
* |
|
|
* nsISyncMessageSender (content process/in-process only)
|
|
* |
|
|
* nsIContentFrameMessageManager (content process/in-process only)
|
|
* |
|
|
* nsIInProcessContentFrameMessageManager (in-process only)
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* Message managers in the chrome process can also be QI'ed to nsIFrameScriptLoader.
|
|
*
|
|
*
|
|
* Message managers corresponding to process boundaries
|
|
* ====================================================
|
|
*
|
|
* The second realm of message managers is the "process message
|
|
* managers". With one exception, these always correspond to process
|
|
* boundaries. The picture looks like
|
|
*
|
|
* Parent process Child processes
|
|
* ---------------- -----------------
|
|
* global (GPPMM)
|
|
* |
|
|
* +-->parent in-process PIPMM<-->child in-process CIPPMM
|
|
* |
|
|
* +-->parent (PPMM1)<------------------>child (CPMM1)
|
|
* |
|
|
* +-->parent (PPMM2)<------------------>child (CPMM2)
|
|
* ...
|
|
*
|
|
* Note, PIPMM and CIPPMM both run in the parent process.
|
|
*
|
|
* For example: the parent-process PPMM1 sends messages to the
|
|
* child-process CPMM1.
|
|
*
|
|
* For example: CPMM1 sends messages directly to PPMM1. The global GPPMM
|
|
* will also notify their message listeners when the message arrives.
|
|
*
|
|
* For example: messages sent through the global GPPMM will be
|
|
* dispatched to the listeners of the same-process, CIPPMM, CPMM1,
|
|
* CPMM2, etc.
|
|
*
|
|
* ***** PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY WARNING *****
|
|
* Messages broadcast through the GPPMM can result in messages
|
|
* being dispatched across many OS processes, and to many processes
|
|
* with different permissions. Great care should be taken when
|
|
* broadcasting.
|
|
*
|
|
* Requests sent to parent-process message listeners should usually
|
|
* have replies scoped to the requesting CPMM. The following pattern
|
|
* is common
|
|
*
|
|
* const ParentProcessListener = {
|
|
* receiveMessage: function(aMessage) {
|
|
* let childMM = aMessage.target.QueryInterface(Ci.nsIMessageSender);
|
|
* switch (aMessage.name) {
|
|
* case "Foo:Request":
|
|
* // service request
|
|
* childMM.sendAsyncMessage("Foo:Response", { data });
|
|
* }
|
|
* }
|
|
* };
