I have application where only one replica can communicate with source at the time but want to allow another replica to overtake the communication. For that I need a way to
- figure out if any replicas currently connected to source
- drop replica from source
I can possibly to implement that in transport/TCP layer, but thought it would be cleaner to do that withing remoteobjects itself.
If there is another way to do something similar, let me know please.
Qt Remote Objects fully supports multiple simultaneous replicas, expecting that the source need not know nor care if anyone is listening - those details are internal. There is no interface for the source to drop a single replica.
I'm not clear on the use-case, though. What you are doing sounds like multiple sources, not multiple replicas.
