All known Subclasses: org.cougaar.mts.std.FutileSerializingLinkProtocol, org.cougaar.mts.base.RPCLinkProtocol, org.cougaar.mts.base.LoopbackLinkProtocol,
| LinkProtocol | | abstract public class LinkProtocol extends BoundComponent implements ServiceProvider(Code) | | The parent class of all Link Protocols. Instantiable subclasses
are required to do two things: they must be able to say whether or
not they can deal with any particular addresss (addressKnown), and
they must be able to supply a DestinationLink instance for any
address they can deal with (getDestinationLink). They will also be
given the opportunity to "register" clients, if they have any
interest in doing so (for instance, an RMI transport might use this
as an opportunity to publish an MTImpl for the client on a
nameserver).
LinkProtocols are implicitly factories for the creation of
DestinationLinks, so the class is declared to extend AspectFactory,
in order to allow aspects to be added to the Links. The aspect
attachment is handled in each specific transport class.
Finally, LinkProtocols can act as ServiceProviders for
protocol-specific services.
