All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface IRetransmitter

Executes retransmission operations between a local context and a single, connected, remote context.

Retransmission operations cover:

• The remote context requests for a retransmission of the complete state of one or more subscribed remote container instances.
• The local context retransmits the complete state of one or more local containers to the remote context due to receiving a retransmission request from the remote context.
• The local context retransmits the complete state of one or more local containers to the remote context due to application code.

Method Summary

void	requestRetransmit(String identityRegularExpression, IType type, IDomain domain) Send a request to the connected remote context to retransmit the complete state of the subscribed IContainer instances with matching type and identity.
void	requestRetransmitAll() Send a request to the connected remote context to retransmit the complete state of all the IContainer instances subscribed for by the local context.
void	retransmit(String identityRegularExpression, IType type, IDomain domain) Retransmit the complete state of the IContainer instances with matching type and identity to the connected remote context.
void	retransmitAll() Retransmit the complete state of all the IContainer instances that the connected remote context has subscribed for.

Method Detail

retransmit

void retransmit(String identityRegularExpression,
                IType type,
                IDomain domain)

Retransmit the complete state of the IContainer instances with matching type and identity to the connected remote context. The container must also currently be subscribed for by the remote context.

Wildcards are not supported with this operation.

Parameters:

identityRegularExpression - the identity regular expression to match against containers currently subscribed for by the remote context

type - the type of the container

domain - the domain of the container

retransmitAll

void retransmitAll()

Retransmit the complete state of all the IContainer instances that the connected remote context has subscribed for.

requestRetransmit

void requestRetransmit(String identityRegularExpression,
                       IType type,
                       IDomain domain)

Send a request to the connected remote context to retransmit the complete state of the subscribed IContainer instances with matching type and identity.

Wildcards are not supported with this operation.

Parameters:

identityRegularExpression - the identity regular expression to match against containers currently subscribed for by the local context

type - the type of the container

domain - the domain of the container

requestRetransmitAll

void requestRetransmitAll()

Send a request to the connected remote context to retransmit the complete state of all the IContainer instances subscribed for by the local context.
