Process Diagram

Description

This is a process which first outputs a given Object and then copies its input stream of Objects to its output stream.

One output is gererated before any input but, thereafter, one output is produced for each input.

Channel Protocols

Input Channels
in	java.lang.Object	The in Channel can accept data of any Class.
Output Channels
out	java.lang.Object	The out Channel sends the the same type of data (in fact, the same data) as is input.

Implementation Note

The implementation uses an Identity process for the copy loop:

   public void run () {
     out.write (o);                     // prefix the given object to the stream
     new Identity (in, out).run ();     // copy the stream
   }
