Class MessageListenerAdapter

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--org.javagroups.blocks.MessageListenerAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:

MessageListener

public class MessageListenerAdapter

extends java.lang.Object

implements MessageListener

This class provides multiplexing possibilities for MessageListener instances. Usually, we have more than one instance willing to listen to incoming messages, but only one that can produce state for group. PullPushAdapter allows only one instance of MessageListener to be registered for message notification. With help of this class you can overcome this limitation.

Constructor Detail

MessageListenerAdapter

public MessageListenerAdapter()

Create default instance of this class. Newly created instance will have no message or state listeners. You have to use addMessageListener(MessageListener) or removeMessageListener(MessageListener) to add or remove message listeners, and setStateListener(MessageListener) to set listener that will participate in state transfer.

MessageListenerAdapter

public MessageListenerAdapter(MessageListener mainListener)

Create instance of this class. mainListener is a main listener instance that received message notifications and can get and set group state.

Parameters:

mainListener - instance of MessageListener that will provide state messages.

Method Detail

getState

public byte[] getState()

Get state from state listener if present.

Specified by:

getState in interface MessageListener

Returns:

current state of the group state or null if no state listeners were registered.

receive

public void receive(Message msg)

Receive message from group. This method will send this message to each message listener that was registered in this adapter.

Specified by:

receive in interface MessageListener

Parameters:

msg - message to distribute within message listeners.

setState

public void setState(byte[] state)

Set state of ths group. This method will delegate call to state listener if it was previously registered.

Specified by:

setState in interface MessageListener

addMessageListener

public void addMessageListener(MessageListener listener)

Add message listener to this adapter. This method registers listener for message notification.

Note, state notification will not be used.

removeMessageListener

public void removeMessageListener(MessageListener listener)

Remove message listener from this adapter. This method deregisters listener from message notification.

setStateListener

public void setStateListener(MessageListener listener)

Register listener for state notification events. There can be only one state listener per adapter.
