Class PullPushAdapter

Implemented Interfaces:
Runnable

public class PullPushAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements Runnable

Allows a client of Channel to be notified when messages have been received instead of having to actively poll the channel for new messages. Typically used in the client role (receive()). As this class does not implement interface Transport, but uses it for receiving messages, an underlying object has to be used to send messages (e.g. the channel on which an object of this class relies).

Multiple MembershipListeners can register with the PullPushAdapter; when a view is received, they will all be notified. There is one main message listener which sends and receives message. In addition, MessageListeners can register with a certain tag (identifier), and then send messages tagged with this identifier. When a message with such an identifier is received, the corresponding MessageListener will be looked up and the message dispatched to it. If no tag is found (default), the main MessageListener will receive the message.

Method Details

addMembershipListener

public void addMembershipListener(MembershipListener l)

getListener

public MessageListener getListener()
Returns:
Returns the listener.

getTransport

public Transport getTransport()

handleMessage

protected void handleMessage(Message msg)
Check whether the message has an identifier. If yes, lookup the MessageListener associated with the given identifier in the hashtable and dispatch to it. Otherwise just use the main (default) message listener

notifyBlock

protected void notifyBlock()

notifySuspect

protected void notifySuspect(Address suspected_mbr)

notifyViewChange

protected void notifyViewChange(View v)

registerListener

public void registerListener(Serializable identifier,
                             MessageListener l)
sets a listener to messages with a given identifier messages sent with this identifier in there header will be routed to this listener note: there could be only one listener for one identifier, if you want to register a different listener to an already registered identifier then unregister first
Parameters:
identifier - - messages sent on the group with this object will be receive by this listener
l - - the listener that will get the message

run

public void run()
Reentrant run(): message reception is serialized, then the listener is notified of the message reception

send

public void send(Serializable identifier,
                 Message msg)
            throws Exception
Sends a message to the group - listeners to this identifier will receive the messages
Parameters:
identifier - the key that the proper listeners are listenting on
msg - the Message to be sent
See Also:
registerListener

send

public void send(Message msg)
            throws Exception
sends a message with no identifier , listener member will get this message on the other group members
Parameters:
msg - the Message to be sent

setListener

public void setListener(MessageListener l)

setMembershipListener

public void setMembershipListener(MembershipListener ml)

Deprecated. Use addMembershipListener(MembershipListener)


start

public void start()

stop

public void stop()

unregisterListener

public void unregisterListener(Serializable identifier)
removes a listener to a given identifier from the listeners map
Parameters:
identifier - - the key to whom we do not want to listen any more
