Interface PacketListener

All Known Implementing Classes:

Node.ItemDeleteTranslator, Node.ItemEventTranslator, Node.NodeConfigTranslator

public interface PacketListener

Provides a mechanism to listen for packets that pass a specified filter. This allows event-style programming -- every time a new packet is found, the processPacket(Packet) method will be called. This is the opposite approach to the functionality provided by a PacketCollector which lets you block while waiting for results.

Method Detail

processPacket

void processPacket(Packet packet)

Process the next packet sent to this packet listener.

A single thread is responsible for invoking all listeners, so it's very important that implementations of this method not block for any extended period of time.

Parameters:

packet - the packet to process.
