Interface RawDataChannel

public interface RawDataChannel

A processor for messages received from the network layer. Applications should register an implementation of this interface with a Connector via its Connector.setRawDataReceiver(RawDataChannel) method in order to get notified about incoming messages. Applications should use the Connector.send(RawData) method to send messages to receivers connected via the network.

Method Detail

receiveData

void receiveData(RawData raw)

Processes a raw message received from the network. It is assumed that an implementation can either derive the message format by introspection or knows upfront about the message format to expect. An implementation of this method should return quickly in order to improve message processing throughput. In cases where processing of a message is expected to take some time, implementations should consider off-loading the processing of the messages to a separate Thread, e.g. by employing a java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService.

Parameters:

raw - the raw message to process
