Class ListPeer

public NetworkList publish(EventList<E> source,
                           String path,
                           ByteCoder byteCoder)

Publish the specified EventList with the specified name.

Parameters:

source - the EventList to publish. Each change to this EventList will be immediately published to all subscribers.

path - the address that the EventList shall be published under. The path must start with a slash character. This must be unique among all EventLists published on this ListPeer.

byteCoder - a helper that can convert the elements of the EventList into binary network-transmittable form. Some general purpose ByteCoders are available in the GlazedLists factory class.

Returns:

a simple decorator of the published EventList with additional methods to bring the list offline. This list is writable.

public void stop()

Stops the peer. This disconnects all active EventLists and releases the listen port.

public NetworkList subscribe(String host,
                             int port,
                             String path,
                             ByteCoder byteCoder)

Subscribe to the EventList with the specified name.

Parameters:

host - the network hostname of the machine serving the original copy of the data of interest. Together with the port, this should map to a proper InetSocketAddress.

port - the port the EventList of interest is being published on.

path - the address that the EventList is published under.

byteCoder - a helper that can convert the binary data from the network into list elements for this EventList. Some general purpose ByteCoders are available in the GlazedLists factory class.

Returns:

the EventList that gets its data from the specified remote source. This EventList will contain no data until the connection completes. This list is not writable.
