org.jgroups.protocols.SERIALIZE

All Implemented Interfaces:

Lifecycle

public class SERIALIZE
extends Protocol

Serializes the entire message (including payload, headers, flags and destination and src) into the payload of another message that's then sent. Deserializes the payload of an incoming message into a new message that's sent up the stack.
To be used with ASYM_ENCRYPT or SYM_ENCRYPT when the entire message (including the headers) needs to be encrypted. Can be used as a replacement for the deprecated attribute encrypt_entire_message in the above encryption protocols.
See https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JGRP-2273 for details.

Method Details

down

public Object down(Message msg)

Description copied from class: Protocol

A message is sent down the stack. Protocols may examine the message and do something (e.g. add a header) with it, before passing it down.

Overrides:

down in class Protocol

up

public Object up(Message msg)

Description copied from class: Protocol

A single message was received. Protocols may examine the message and do something (e.g. add a header) with it before passing it up.

Overrides:

up in class Protocol

up

public void up(MessageBatch batch)

Description copied from class: Protocol

Sends up a multiple messages in a MessageBatch. The sender of the batch is always the same, and so is the destination (null == multicast messages). Messages in a batch can be OOB messages, regular messages, or mixed messages, although the transport itself will create initial MessageBatches that contain only either OOB or regular messages.

The default processing below sends messages up the stack individually, based on a matching criteria (calling Protocol.accept(Message)), and - if true - calls Protocol.up(org.jgroups.Event) for that message and removes the message. If the batch is not empty, it is passed up, or else it is dropped.

Subclasses should check if there are any messages destined for them (e.g. using MessageBatch.iterator(Predicate)), then possibly remove and process them and finally pass the batch up to the next protocol. Protocols can also modify messages in place, e.g. ENCRYPT could decrypt all encrypted messages in the batch, not remove them, and pass the batch up when done.

Overrides:

up in class Protocol

Parameters:

batch - The message batch
