Interface Transport

Known Implementing Classes:
Channel, JChannel, ProtocolStack

public interface Transport

Defines a very small subset of the functionality of a channel, essentially only the methods for sending and receiving messages. Many building blocks require nothing else than a bare-bones facility to send and receive messages; therefore the Transport interface was created. It increases the genericness and portability of building blocks: being so simple, the Transport interface can easily be ported to a different toolkit, without requiring any modifications to building blocks.
