Package tryllian.messenger Description

This package contains the Service Provider Interface, which defines how a new messenger plugin can be written.

The package contains two kinds of interfaces: interfaces that have to be implemented by the plugin writer and interfaces whose implementation will be provided by the ARE to the plugin. The latter interfaces are used to hide the internals of agent messaging from the plugin writer.

The interfaces that need not be implemented by the Service Provider are

• RegistrationHandler
• DeliveryResultHandler
• MessageHandler
• MetaDataProvider

Objects implementing these interfaces will be provided to the plugin when required.
