CGlobalModule::Terminate Method
Represents the method that IIS calls when a global module has completed processing.
IIS calls the Terminate method for a CGlobalModule before a module is unloaded.

Developers should use the Terminate method to remove implementations of CGlobalModule classes from memory. |
The following code example demonstrates how to create a simple "Hello World" global-level HTTP module. The module defines an exported RegisterModule function that creates an instance of a class that is derived from CGlobalModule. If the class cannot be created, the function exits with an error code; otherwise, the function calls the IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo::SetRequestNotifications method to register for the GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification.
When a GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST notification occurs, IIS calls the module's CGlobalModule::OnGlobalPreBeginRequest method to process the notification. The method calls a private method to write an event to the application log of the Event Viewer, and then it returns GL_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE to notify IIS to continue processing other notifications. When processing is complete, IIS calls the module's Terminate method to remove the class from memory.
#define _WINSOCKAPI_ #include <windows.h> #include <sal.h> #include <httpserv.h> // Create the module's global class. class MyGlobalModule : public CGlobalModule { public: // Process a GL_APPLICATION_START notification. GLOBAL_NOTIFICATION_STATUS OnGlobalPreBeginRequest( IN IPreBeginRequestProvider * pProvider ) { UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pProvider ); WriteEventViewerLog( "Hello World!" ); return GL_NOTIFICATION_CONTINUE; } VOID Terminate() { // Remove the class from memory. delete this; } MyGlobalModule() { // Open a handle to the Event Viewer. m_hEventLog = RegisterEventSource( NULL,"IISADMIN" ); } ~MyGlobalModule() { // Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open. if (NULL != m_hEventLog) { // Close the handle to the Event Viewer. DeregisterEventSource( m_hEventLog ); m_hEventLog = NULL; } } private: // Create a handle for the event viewer. HANDLE m_hEventLog; // Define a method that writes to the Event Viewer. BOOL WriteEventViewerLog(LPCSTR szNotification) { // Test whether the handle for the Event Viewer is open. if (NULL != m_hEventLog) { // Write any strings to the Event Viewer and return. return ReportEvent( m_hEventLog, EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, 0, 0, NULL, 1, 0, &szNotification, NULL ); } return FALSE; } }; // Create the module's exported registration function. HRESULT __stdcall RegisterModule( DWORD dwServerVersion, IHttpModuleRegistrationInfo * pModuleInfo, IHttpServer * pGlobalInfo ) { UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( dwServerVersion ); UNREFERENCED_PARAMETER( pGlobalInfo ); // Create an instance of the global module class. MyGlobalModule * pGlobalModule = new MyGlobalModule; // Test for an error. if (NULL == pGlobalModule) { return HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_NOT_ENOUGH_MEMORY); } // Set the global notifications and exit. return pModuleInfo->SetGlobalNotifications( pGlobalModule, GL_PRE_BEGIN_REQUEST ); }
Your module must export the RegisterModule function. You can export this function by creating a module definition (.def) file for your project, or you can compile the module by using the /EXPORT:RegisterModule switch. For more information, see Walkthrough: Creating a Global-Level HTTP Module By Using Native Code.
You can optionally compile the code by using the __stdcall (/Gz) calling convention instead of explicitly declaring the calling convention for each function.
