- Type Parameters:
T
- The type of the object attached to the receive operation
- All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractNotificationHandler
The SCTP channels defined in this package allow a notification handler to be specified to consume notifications from the SCTP stack. When a notification is received the handleNotification method of the handler is invoked to handle that notification.
Additionally, an attachment object can be attached to the receive
operation to provide context when consuming the notification. The
attachment is important for cases where a state-less
NotificationHandler
is used to consume the result of many receive
operations.
Handler implementations are encouraged to extend the AbstractNotificationHandler
class which implements this interface and
provide notification specific methods. However, an API should generally use
this handler interface as the type for parameters, return type, etc. rather
than the abstract class.
