Interface IClusterManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractClusterManager, JGroupsClusterManager, SingleServerClusterManager

@StableMinor(version="4.1",
             sinceVersion="4.1")
public interface IClusterManager

Provides operations on the portal cluster.

A message may be sent by creating it using createClusterMessage(String, Serializable) and sending the IClusterMessage object returned by calling send(IClusterTransmission). When received, the message generates a ClusterMessageReceivedEvent.

A command may be sent by creating it using createClusterCommand(Runnable) and sending the IClusterCommand object returned by calling send(IClusterTransmission). When received, the command executes the corresponding Runnable code.

Either the message or the command, can be further configured before sending by using the available methods in the returned object.
