Constructor Detail

BusStrategy

protected BusStrategy(CommunicationModule commModule)

Constructor receiving the CommunicationModule instance and creating queue for the messages.

Parameters:

commModule - CommunicationModule instance

BusStrategy

protected BusStrategy(CommunicationModule commModule,
                      String name)

Constructor receiving the CommunicationModule instance and creating queue for the messages.

Parameters:

commModule - CommunicationModule instance

name - Human-readable name of the Bus Strategy

Method Detail

getBusMember

protected BusMember getBusMember(String memberID)

Returns bus member instance based on the bus member ID.

Parameters:

memberID - bus member ID

Returns:

BusMember

handle

protected abstract void handle(BusMessage m,
                               String senderID)

Handle the message. This method is different from the handleMessage(), in that handeMessage() handle the message asynchronously, while queuing the messages to preserve the order of the messages. This method is executed synchronously, without any queuing.

Parameters:

m - message

senderID - sender (bus member) ID

getLocalBusByName

protected AbstractBus getLocalBusByName(String name)

Returns bus based on the passed bus name.

Parameters:

name - bus name

Returns:

bus

handleMessage

public final void handleMessage(BusMessage m,
                                String senderID)

This method handles the message asynchronously, while trying to preserve the order of the messages from the same source, according to the counters of the messages. (The counters are part of the message ID). The messages are queued, and they are inserted into the queue according to their counter.

Parameters:

m - message to be handled

senderID - sender ID

run

public final void run()

Runs BusStrategy. Until stopping process messages (in separate Threads)

Specified by:

run in interface Runnable

Overrides:

run in class Thread

setBus

public void setBus(AbstractBus bus)

Joins the bus and the BusStrategy.

Parameters:

bus - bus

stopThread

public final void stopThread()

Stops BusStrategy Thread.

buildChannelMessage

protected ChannelMessage buildChannelMessage(BusMessage m)

send

protected void send(BusMessage message)
