BroadcastMethod (hybris Commerce Suite 1905)

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBroadcastMethod, DummyBroadcastMethod, JGroupsBroadcastMethod, LoopBackBroadcastMethod, UDPBroadcastMethod, UnicastBroadcastMethod
```
public interface BroadcastMethod
```
Definition of messaging method.
A messaging is configured inside system configuration (e.g. local.properties) as follows:
```
 cluster.broadcast.method.<method name>=<class name>
 cluster.broadcast.methods=<method name&gt,<method name&gt,...
 
```
All messaging methods are managed by BroadcastService. Use BroadcastService.getBroadcastMethod(String) to access a specific one.
