NAME

perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER  -  this is a pinger message  handler object

DESCRIPTION

it inherits everything from perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::Message and only implements  request handlers with pinger specifics 
 

SYNOPSIS

	     use perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER ;
	   
	     
	     my ($DOM) = $requestMessage->getElementsByTag('message');
	    
	     my $message = new perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER($DOM);
             $message = new perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER({id => '2345', 
	                                                     type = 'SetupdataResponse',
							     metadata => {'id1' =>   <obj>},
							     data=> {'id1' => <obj>}}); 
	 
	    #######   add data element, namespaces will be added from this object to Message object namespace declaration
             $message->addPartById('id1', 'data', new perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER::data({id=> 'id1', metadataIdRef => 'metaid1' }));
        
	    ########add metadata element, namespaces will be added from this object to Message object namespace declaration
	     $message->addPartById('id1', 'metadata',  new perfSONAR_PS::Datatypes::PingER::metadata({id=> 'id1' });
	     
	     my $dom = $message->getDOM(); # get as DOM 
	     print $message->asString();  # print the whole message

 # Is there a key?
 #   Y: do queries against key 
 #      return key as md AND d
 #   N: Is there a chain?
 #     Y: Is there a key
 #       Y: do queries against key, add in select stuff to key, return key as md AND d
