Interface NetChannelOutput<T>

All Superinterfaces:

ChannelOutput<T>, Networked, Poisonable

All Known Subinterfaces:

NetSharedChannelOutput<T>

All Known Implementing Classes:

MobileChannelOutput

public interface NetChannelOutput<T>
extends ChannelOutput<T>, Networked

An interface defining a ChannelOutput that is networked. For information on how to an object of this type, see ChannelOutput. For information on how to create a NetChannelOutput, see the the relevant factory.

The only method that this interface defines is asyncSend. This is considered a dangerous method to use, and careful consideration must be taken. The inclusion of asyncSend is to provide the impression of a simple infinitely buffered networked channel, without having to create extra buffers beyond what the channel uses.

Method Detail

asyncWrite

void asyncWrite(T obj)
         throws JCSPNetworkException,
                NetworkPoisonException

Sends a message to the input end of the channel asynchronously (no blocking)

Parameters:

obj - The object to send to the input end

Throws:

JCSPNetworkException - Thrown if something goes wrong in the underlying architecture

NetworkPoisonException - Thrown if the channel is poisoned

setEncoder

void setEncoder(NetworkMessageFilter.FilterTx encoder)

Sets the underlying encoder for the channel

Parameters:

encoder - The encoder to use for the channel.
