Class NetworkMessageFilter

java.lang.Object

org.jcsp.net2.NetworkMessageFilter

public final class NetworkMessageFilter
extends java.lang.Object

This class defines what is required for the internal networked channel filter. These filters are used to encode and decode objects into a byte array equivalent. This enables data independence between separate platforms, as well as data separation from the communication. Two filters are supplied with JCSP; a Object filter and a raw data filter. The former will encode and decode messages using the standard object serialization techniques. The latter will expect byte arrays only, and will do no encoding or decoding. The object filter is the default created by the network factory methods.
