Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	setCommunicationController(CommunicationController communicationController) Sets the communication controller for this communication processor.

Method Detail

setCommunicationController

void setCommunicationController(CommunicationController communicationController)

Sets the communication controller for this communication processor. The communication controller provides the methods through which this processor can register channels and timers. The processor should use this method to register its channels (and possibly some timers), so that one of its process methods will be called later. This method is only called once. There are no guarantees about the thread from which this method is called. In particular, the calling thread does not have to be the communication thread of the communication controller and registration this method performs can be active before this method returns.

Parameters:

communicationController - communication controller responsible for this processor.
