Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	receive(Address sender, byte[] buf, int offset, int length) Delivers a message from a given sender to the application
void	receive(Address sender, java.nio.ByteBuffer buf) Delivers a message from a given sender to the application

Method Detail

receive

void receive(Address sender,
             byte[] buf,
             int offset,
             int length)

Delivers a message from a given sender to the application

Parameters:

sender - The sender of the message

buf - The buffer. An application typically de-serializes data from the buffer into objects used by the application. Note that when receive() returns, it is not safe to use the buffer any longer; if an application needs to use a buffer after this callback returns, it must make a copy.

offset - The offset at which the received data starts

length - The length of the received data

receive

void receive(Address sender,
             java.nio.ByteBuffer buf)

Delivers a message from a given sender to the application

Parameters:

sender - The sender of the message

buf - The buffer. An application typically de-serializes data from the buffer into objects used by the application. Note that when receive() returns, it is not safe to use the buffer any longer; if an application needs to use a buffer after this callback returns, it must make a copy.

Note that buf could be a direct ByteBuffer.
