Class MessageDispatcher

java.lang.Object

org.powertac.samplebroker.core.MessageDispatcher

@Service
public class MessageDispatcher
extends Object

Routes incoming messages to broker components, and outgoing messages to the server. Components must register for specific message types with the broker, which passes the registrations to this router. For this to work, registered components must implement a handleMessage(msg) method that takes the specified type as its single argument.
