Interface Receiver

All Superinterfaces:

PropertyContainer

public interface Receiver
extends PropertyContainer

A Receiver is an object used by a Pod to receive data from some data source -- such as a data generator, or another Pod. Implementations of this interface will provide a means by which a Channel can be connected, and by which a Transmitter and Receiver can establish contact.

Receivers can have string-named properties attached to them. These properties are defined to have meaning only within a given protocol, and can be used by clients to control receivers.
