Interface ExtendedMessageListener

All Superinterfaces:

MessageListener

All Known Subinterfaces:

ExtendedReceiver

All Known Implementing Classes:

DistributedHashtable, Draw, ExtendedReceiverAdapter, MessageListenerAdapter, ReplicatedHashMap

public interface ExtendedMessageListener
extends MessageListener

ExtendedMessageListener has additional callbacks for:

• partial state transfer - http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-118
• streaming state transfer - http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-89

Application channels interested in using streaming state transfer, beside implementing this interface, have to be configured with STREAMING_STATE_TRANSFER protocol rather than the default STATE_TRANSFER protocol.

Note:

This interface will be merged with MessageListener in 3.0 (API changes)

Since:

2.3

Method Detail

getState

byte[] getState(java.lang.String state_id)

Allows an application to provide a partial state as a byte array

Parameters:

state_id - id of the partial state requested

Returns:

partial state for the given state_id

setState

void setState(java.lang.String state_id,
            byte[] state)

Allows an application to read a partial state indicated by state_id from a given state byte array parameter.

Parameters:

state_id - id of the partial state requested

state - partial state for the given state_id

getState

void getState(java.io.OutputStream ostream)

Allows an application to write a state through a provided OutputStream. An application is obligated to always close the given OutputStream reference.

Parameters:

ostream - the OutputStream

See Also:

OutputStream.close()

getState

void getState(java.lang.String state_id,
            java.io.OutputStream ostream)

Allows an application to write a partial state through a provided OutputStream. An application is obligated to always close the given OutputStream reference.

Parameters:

state_id - id of the partial state requested

ostream - the OutputStream

See Also:

OutputStream.close()

setState

void setState(java.io.InputStream istream)

Allows an application to read a state through a provided InputStream. An application is obligated to always close the given InputStream reference.

Parameters:

istream - the InputStream

See Also:

InputStream.close()

setState

void setState(java.lang.String state_id,
            java.io.InputStream istream)

Allows an application to read a partial state through a provided InputStream. An application is obligated to always close the given InputStream reference.

Parameters:

state_id - id of the partial state requested

istream - the InputStream

See Also:

InputStream.close()
