Interface MessageProtocol

All Known Implementing Classes:

SerializerMessageProtocol

public interface MessageProtocol

Consolidates the conversion of messages to/from byte buffers and provides a rolling message buffer. ByteBuffers can be pushed in and messages will be extracted, accumulated, and available for retrieval. The MessageBuffers returned are generally not thread safe and are meant to be used within a single message processing thread. MessageProtocol implementations themselves should be thread safe.

The specific serialization protocol used is up to the implementation.
