Interface ObservationBus

All Superinterfaces:

Observable, Observer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClusteredObservationBus, LocalObservationBus

@ThreadSafe
public interface ObservationBus
extends Observable, Observer

A simple Observer that is itself Observable. This interface essentially multiplexes the events from a single Observable to disseminate each event to multiple Observers.

Method Summary

boolean	hasObservers() Determine whether this particular bus currently has any observers.
void	shutdown() Unregister all registered observers, and mark this as no longer accepting new registered observers.
void	start() Prepare this bus for operation by starting any resources.
