All Implemented Interfaces:

ChannelInterceptor, Heartbeat, MembershipListener

public class OrderInterceptor
extends ChannelInterceptorBase

The order interceptor guarantees that messages are received in the same order they were sent. This interceptor works best with the ack=true setting.
There is no point in using this with the replicationMode="fastasynchqueue" as this mode guarantees ordering.
If you are using the mode ack=false replicationMode=pooled, and have a lot of concurrent threads, this interceptor can really slow you down, as many messages will be completely out of order and the queue might become rather large. If this is the case, then you might want to set the value OrderInterceptor.maxQueue = 25 (meaning that we will never keep more than 25 messages in our queue)
Configuration Options
OrderInteceptor.expire= - if a message arrives out of order, how long before we act on it default=3000ms
OrderInteceptor.maxQueue= - how much can the queue grow to ensure ordering. This setting is useful to avoid OutOfMemoryErrorsdefault=Integer.MAX_VALUE
OrderInterceptor.forwardExpired= - this flag tells the interceptor what to do when a message has expired or the queue has grown larger than the maxQueue value. true means that the message is sent up the stack to the receiver that will receive and out of order message false means, forget the message and reset the message counter. default=true

OrderInterceptor

public OrderInterceptor()

sendMessage

public void sendMessage(Member[] destination,
                        ChannelMessage msg,
                        InterceptorPayload payload)
                 throws ChannelException

Description copied from interface: ChannelInterceptor

The sendMessage method is called when a message is being sent to one more destinations. The interceptor can modify any of the parameters and then pass on the message down the stack by invoking getNext().sendMessage(destination,msg,payload)
Alternatively the interceptor can stop the message from being sent by not invoking getNext().sendMessage(destination,msg,payload)
If the message is to be sent asynchronous the application can be notified of completion and errors by passing in an error handler attached to a payload object.
The ChannelMessage.getAddress contains Channel.getLocalMember, and can be overwritten to simulate a message sent from another node.

Specified by:

sendMessage in interface ChannelInterceptor

Overrides:

sendMessage in class ChannelInterceptorBase

Parameters:

destination - Member[] - the destination for this message

msg - ChannelMessage - the message to be sent

payload - InterceptorPayload - the payload, carrying an error handler and future useful data, can be null

Throws:

ChannelException

messageReceived

public void messageReceived(ChannelMessage msg)

Description copied from interface: ChannelInterceptor

the messageReceived is invoked when a message is received. ChannelMessage.getAddress() is the sender, or the reply-to address if it has been overwritten.

Specified by:

messageReceived in interface ChannelInterceptor

Overrides:

messageReceived in class ChannelInterceptorBase

Parameters:

msg - ChannelMessage

processLeftOvers

protected void processLeftOvers(Member member,
                                boolean force)

processIncoming

protected boolean processIncoming(OrderInterceptor.MessageOrder order)

Parameters:

order - MessageOrder

Returns:

boolean - true if a message expired and was processed

memberAdded

public void memberAdded(Member member)

Description copied from interface: MembershipListener

A member was added to the group

Specified by:

memberAdded in interface MembershipListener

Overrides:

memberAdded in class ChannelInterceptorBase

Parameters:

member - Member - the member that was added

memberDisappeared

public void memberDisappeared(Member member)

Description copied from interface: MembershipListener

A member was removed from the group
If the member left voluntarily, the Member.getCommand will contain the Member.SHUTDOWN_PAYLOAD data

Specified by:

memberDisappeared in interface MembershipListener

Overrides:

memberDisappeared in class ChannelInterceptorBase

Parameters:

member - Member
